Oily skin can be tricky—it needs the right kind of care to prevent clogged pores, acne, and that constant shine.
If your skin feels greasy just a few hours after cleansing, you're not alone!
Finding the perfect skincare routine for oily skin is the key to keeping your skin balanced and healthy.
Here’s everything you need to know about caring for oily skin without compromising its natural glow.
Step-by-step guide to the best skincare for oily skin
1. CLEANSING
Product used: Green Tea Pore Cleansing Face Wash
Pro-tips: Use a cleanser before washing your face if you have makeup on. It's a good idea to use facewashes with scrubs in them, but try to alternate with a plain face wash too. Never, ever use soap on your face. For the best oily skin skincare, remember to choose products that are specifically formulated for oily skin.
Instructions:
1. Wet your face with water.
2. Squeeze out a coin-sized amount of face wash on your palm.
3. Gently rub on your face, for a few seconds, slightly squeezing cellulose scrub beads.
4. Gently rinse away with water and pat dry with soft towel.
5. Now your face is ready for Green Tea Alcohol Free Toner.
Usage timing and frequency
Use it twice (or thrice) a day, in the morning and before going to bed.
2. TONING
Product used: Green Tea Alcohol-Free Toner
Pro-tips: Choose the right toner for your skin, mild and alcohol-free is ideal. Check out the suggested posts for more info on toners.
Instructions for oily skin skincare:
1. Pour out a little quantity on your palm and apply it on your face. Alternatively moisten a cotton ball with the Alcohol-Free Toner, and dab it softly in small circles across your face
2. Give special attention to T-Zone, forehead, nose and chin areas.
3. Let the toner air dry, don't hurry to wipe it off.
4. Now your face is toned and freshened up for the next step: moisturizing.
Usage timing and frequency
Use twice (or thrice) a day, in the morning and before going to bed, post cleansing.
3. MOISTURIZATION
Product used: Green Tea Mattifying Moisturizer
Pro-tips: Choose a light, oil-free or non-comedogenic moisturizer for oily skin. Mild and natural is the way to go, brownie points if it comes with SPF( see Protection).
Instructions:
1. Squeeze out a tiny amount on your palm.
2. Dot your face with the moisturizer. One dot each on forehead, both cheeks, nose and chin. That’s 5 dots totally.
3. Now gently massage it into skin using finger-tips.
Usage timing and frequency
Use twice (or thrice) a day - in the morning and before going to bed for hydrated soft shine oil-free matte skin.
4. PROTECTION
Pro-tip: If you protect your skin from tanning and damage, you'll never have to do crazy things for the sake of fairness!
Always protect your skin from the harshness of the sun and its UV rays. Use a good sunscreen before stepping out, or use a moisturizer which already has decent SPF protection( SPF 30 is considered basic)
5. Weekly deep - cleaning & gentle exfoliation
Product used: Green Tea Clear Face Mask
1. Gently apply a thin layer over all areas of the face, avoid eyes and lips area.
2. Wait for about 30 minutes or until the mask dries completely, keeping your face as still as possible.
3. Wash off with plain water.
4. Do not scrub face with towel, gently pat dry.
5. Gently hydrate your skin with Green Tea Mattifying Moisturizer to seal in the goodness ingredients.
Usage timing and frequency
Use it once or twice a week – not more. Too much exfoliation is also not good. Don't apply it on bruised skin.
6. BONUS: NIGHT CREAM/NIGHT GEL
Product used: Green Tea Renewed Clarity Night Gel
You must have heard of night creams, but do they help oily skin? Your skin is at rest & undisturbed only at night, so its the best time for repair! It needs to rehydrate, fight free radicals damaging it and restore its natural glow.
