Your skin has sebaceous glands, which produce sebum. Sebum is an oil that keeps your skin moisturized, protected, and healthy.
It's a natural and normal part of skin function, but sometimes, sebum production can get out of control. That "out of control" oil production is what leads to oily skin.
So, What Is Oily Skin?
When your sebaceous glands overproduce sebum, it can lead to oily skin. That excess oil can lead to shiny skin, acne breakouts, and clogged pores - all of which can pose a series of other issues.
But why would your skin overproduce sebum? Well, things like genetics, hormonal changes, or environmental factors can all lead to an overproduction of sebum.
The Key Ingredients to Use for Oily Skin
Excess oiliness is a unique skin concern that requires careful attention and the right skin care routine. Things like harsh cleansers, drying ingredients, or alcohol-based products can make oily skin a heck of a lot worse.
It's a good idea to use oil-free, fragrance-free, or alcohol-free formulas that will erase that unwanted shine without stripping or drying your skin. Many dermatologists recommend non-comedogenic products, since they prevent clogged pores, a common issue for people with oily skin types.
Here are some of the best active ingredients to use for oily skin:
Hyaluronic acid: Helps the skin retain its moisture, keeping it hydrated and soft
Niacinamide: Calms the skin and supports the function of the lipid barrier
Ceramides: Enhances the function of the skin's natural moisture barrier
Rice bran oil: Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, it moisturizes and purifies the skin
Retinol: Helps refine and resurface the skin while reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots
Exfoliating ingredients like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or beta hydroxy acids can also be effective at treating oily skin. Now, let's dive a bit deeper.
Those with oily skin types are more likely to have clogged pores and acne breakouts. Because of that, cleansing is a crucial step in your skincare routine. Cleansing removes dead skin cells, excess oil, bacteria, makeup, and dirt from your skin, keeping your pores clear and skin fresh.
Most recommend using a sulfate-free foaming cleanser or a salicylic acid cleanser. These cleansers for oily skin can effectively purify and detox the skin without exacerbating oiliness.
Use an exfoliator once or twice a week
In addition to skin cleansing, you should exfoliate your skin two or three times a week for oily skin. This will help unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, and prevent acne breakouts. We recommend using an enzyme scrub for your face and a coffee scrub for your body.
However, avoid over-exfoliating, which can damage the skin's protective barrier.
Step #2: Toner
If you have oily or acne-prone skin, it's likely that your pH levels are off. A pH imbalance can make it hard for your skin to control excess oil production and prevent clogged pores.
That's why using a toner if you have oily skin is so important. A toner with ingredients like witch hazel, salicylic acid, or niacinamide is ideal. Alternatively, you can use an essence, which can be more gentle and soothing on oily or sensitive skin.
Instead of a toner, try using an essence
Our Triple Tea Antioxidant Essence, previously known as the Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner, features ingredients like hyaluronic acid, tamarind seed extract, and rice bran extract. This blend of botanicals can improve skin texture, remove excess oil, and create a glowy yet matte finish.
The tamarind seed extract, in particular, is ideal for glowy yet balanced skin. "The tamarind seed extract has oil-free hydrating properties," explains Metta Murdaya, co-founder of JUARA. "Think of it as a natural hyaluronic acid, which we combine with hyaluronic acid."
Watch the full discussion below.
We also conducted clinical studies with 5% tamarind seed extract. Participants saw a 27% improvement in skin firmness and elasticity after 14 days of use, and a 15% increase in hydration in just 7 days.
Step #3: Moisturize
Don't make the mistake of skipping your moisturizer! Some think that by foregoing a moisturizer, they'll mattify their oily skin. However, that will only make oily skin worse.
That's because, if your skin is dry, your pores will just produce more oil, perpetuating the cycle of oily skin.
That being said, don't skip your moisturizer. Use a moisturizer for oily skin, like our Sweet Black Tea and Ginger Oil-Free Moisturizer. This one-of-a-kind moisturizer is designed to reduce oiliness, control shine, and hydrate skin. After just 1 use, 99% of users said the product absorbed into the skin perfectly and smoothly.
Step #4: Sun Protection
Whether you have oily skin or mature skin, sun protection is a non-negotiable. A broad-spectrum sunscreen with titanium dioxide or zinc oxide will protect your skin from sun damage while reducing signs of premature aging.
Other sun protection measures, like wearing long-sleeve clothing and wide-brimmed hats, can also help protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Step #5: Blotting Papers
In addition to these four steps, it's also a good idea to use blotting papers or blotting sheets throughout the day on your T-zone, which will help control oily skin and reduce shine.
To use blotting papers, gently press the paper against your skin for a few seconds
The Bottom Line
There's no such thing as a quick fix for oily skin. An oily skin routine is your best bet to erase your unwanted shine for good, but a downside is that it can take a few weeks to see noticeable results. If you have oily skin, don't fret - this is the best skin care routine for your shiny sheen. So, say "goodbye" to enlarged pores, excess sebum, and slick skin!
We've outlined the best skincare routine for oily skin in this blog to give you the glowy and refined skin you deserve. Here's the best routine for oily skin:
Over the years, people have developed techniques and traditions to optimize their beauty routines. One of these techniques is known as the 4-2-4 rule, a Japanese method of skincare that involves a 4-minute oil-oil cleanse, a 2-minute water-based cleanse, and a 4-minute rinse.
It may sound like overkill, but it's a powerful tradition designed to thoroughly cleanse, deeply purify, and gently polish the skin.
What Is Best to Apply on Oily Skin?
Oily skin is a challenge - if you have oily skin, you know exactly what we're talking about. So, what are the best products and formulas for oily skin? To start with, an oil-free moisturizer and rice bran cleanser will keep your skin soft, matte, and refined.
To prevent breakouts and oiliness, be sure to avoid touching your face, don't sleep in makeup, and use blotting sheets during the day.
