Small Habits That Keep Shine in Check
A few small habits help oily skin stay balanced through the day. Wash twice a day and after workouts, but not more, because over-washing can make your skin produce even more oil. Reach for blotting papers instead of layering powder when you need a midday fix. Choose a light serum or face oil rather than skipping moisture altogether, and try not to touch your face. Good skincare for oily skin is less about stripping and more about balance. The American Academy of Dermatology shares more tips on how to control oily skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should oily skin still use moisturizer?
Yes. Shine is often a sign your skin is thirsty. Light hydration can help it stop making extra oil.
What are the best face products for oily skin?
Keep it light: a gentle cleanser like Calm, a weightless serum such as Super Start, and a few drops of Super Dew squalane oil. Skip harsh mattifiers and stripping acids.
Why does my skin feel tight but look shiny?
That usually means it is dehydrated, not too oily. Harsh products strip moisture, so your skin makes more oil to make up for it.
