If your skin gets shiny fast, feels greasy by midday, or breaks out easily, you might have oily skin. But oily doesn’t mean dirty or bad. It just means your skin makes more oil than it needs.
The goal isn’t to dry it out. It’s to support your skin so it stays balanced, clear, and comfortable.
What Oily Skin Needs
Oily skin still needs hydration, gentle cleansing, and consistent care. Stripping it too harshly can make it produce even more oil. A simple routine that clears buildup without stressing your skin makes all the difference.

Your Routine
Cleanser (AM + PM)
Use a gentle gel or foaming cleanser. Look for ingredients like salicylic acid or tea tree.
Treatment (as needed)
Use lightweight actives like niacinamide or BHA to manage oil and prevent breakouts.
Moisturizer (AM + PM)
Don’t skip this. Go for a gel-cream or oil-free formula to hydrate without heaviness.
SPF (AM only)
Choose a breathable SPF 30+ that won’t clog pores or feel greasy.
Avoid These Common Mistakes
Over-washing your face
Skipping moisturizer
Piling on too many actives at once
