A Skin Care Routine For Oily Skin
Don't you just want your complexion to look glowing and not greasy? It's not all bad because we need oil to keep our skin soft and to maintain the barrier that holds moisture in. But excess oil leaves many of us struggling with breakouts, an overly shiny face, and the stress of our makeup slipping off in hours. The good news: it is possible to get oily skin under control. If you are wondering about the best skin care products for you, we have an oily skin care routine Eminence Organic Skin Care Product recommendations. But first, let's find out if you have oily skin and if you identify with these symptoms.
5 oily skin symptoms you may notice
Check out the following symptoms to determine if you have oily skin:
1. The skin feels oily
Does your skin feel oily? Do you need to use blotting paper or a tissue to remove excess oil? If so, you most likely have oily skin. This type of skin is due to the sebum glands under your pores that produce natural oils called sebum. Sebum keeps your skin healthy and protected, but when your skin feels oily, the sebum glands work overtime producing excess oil.
2. A shiny looking appearance
You know you have oily skin when your complexion is always shiny, even shortly after you've washed your face. If your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) looks mostly shiny, this is another sign of oily skin.
3. You have large pores
Did you large, obvious pores around your nose? Are your pores clogged very often? These are additional signs of an oily skin type.
4. Your skin absorbs makeup quickly
Make-up may look cake-like or unmixed on dry skin types, but make-up works differently on oily skin types and is absorbed into the surface of the skin. Cosmetics can not only disappear into the skin, the makeup also slips off during the day. You may be powdering excessively to include everything.
5. Acne breakouts and blackheads
Because oily skin enlargements have enlarged pores that easily clog, oily skin types often suffer from blackheads and breakouts.
How to get rid of oily skin
As Dr. Hooman Khorasani, Dermatological and Cosmetic Surgeon explains, when you have oily skin, your skin produces more oil, which leads to side effects like acne breakouts and an even glow on your face. Here are some simple ways to keep oily skin under control.
Avoid excessive cleaning
"To combat oily skin, many people make the mistake of overcleaning, which doesn't necessarily stop oil production, but can dry out the skin," he says Dr. Khorasani. It seems logical that washing your face would help remove excess oil. However, avoid overcleaning so that you don't remove the skin's natural barrier.
Choose a gel or lotion
The cleaner you choose is crucial. For oily skin types, choose cleansers that come in gel or lotion formulations, advises Dr. Khorasani. You can choose a detergent with a BHA like that Salicylic acid, which helps dissolve excess oil.
Apply light moisturizers
Choosing moisturizers can be a challenge for oily skin, but light or "matte" moisturizers can be a solution. Oil-absorbent sheets are also handy throughout the day, advises Dr. Khorasani.
A routine for caring for oily skin
One of the best ways to combat oily skin is through yours Skin care routine. Here are the steps and best skin care products we recommend to keep your oily skin looking fresh and dull.
1. Double cleaning
A skin care myth that we need to destroy: Oil cleansers make the skin more oily. In fact, they can improve the appearance of oily skin by absorbing excess sebum from its surface. Heidi Waldorf, MD tells Cosmopolitan: “It may not sound like intuitive, but oil cleansers are designed for oily skin types. The oil in the facial cleanser attracts the sebum to your skin so you can both rinse off without peeling your face off. “One of the best ways to give a deep – but gentle – cleanse to oily skin is to add a double cleanse to your skin regimen. First, remove excess oil and makeup with Stone Crop Cleansing Oil or Wildflower Cleansing Balm, then cleanse it on a deeper scale with your favorite Eminence Organics cleanser. For oily skin, use a face wash designed for problematic skin – like Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser – to mattify the appearance of the skin.
2. peeling (gentle)
Exfoliating is one of the most important steps for oily skin – but don't go overboard. A gentle exfoliation will help remove deposits on the surface of the skin as well as clog and minimize pores. For a gentle but effective peeling Eminence Organics Product Support Representative and Licensed Esthetician Josie Barton recommends almond and mineral treatment. The finely chopped almonds in this treatment gently exfoliate, while ground ivy tones and tightens the skin for a porous-looking complexion.

3. Use a clay or charcoal based face mask
Beauty editors everywhere swear by clay and charcoal-based face masks to combat oily skin. We recommend masking with the Charcoal T-Zone Purifier Side of our Balancing Masque Duo. This deeply cleansing face mask is made with kaolin clay and charcoal to remove dirt, oil, and bacteria caused by excess oil. A botanical ingredient extracted from Buchu leaves reduces the oil and minimizes pores for a smooth, matte look.
4. Moisturize (yes, really)
Adding moisture to already smooth skin may not be intuitive, but it is an important step in caring for oily skin. In fact, a lack of moisture can cause the skin to produce even more sebum to help maintain moisture. Stanley Kovak, MD tells EVEN: “Believe it or not, a moisturizer adds moisture to the skin and minimizes the skin's perception that it is too dry. Adding moisture to the skin actually helps in reducing the oiliness as it slows down the production of sebum. "
We recommend moisturizing oily skin with a light moisturizer, which has a dual action to minimize pores and control the oil. Some of our moisturizers for oily skin:
