We all love some extra glow on our skin. But it is not valid in the case of oily skin. It is very challenging to deal with if your skin is oily. It will not only makes your face looks shiny and greasy but also causes several other skin problems. Oily skin also leads to open pores and breakouts.

In your skin, there is a layer of sebaceous gland underneath your pores; this gland is responsible for producing oil called sebum. This is what makes your face looks shiny and glowing. Too much production of sebum leads to oily skin.

Oily skin can also be the reason for your hormones or may be due to your genes. You have no control over your genes and can’t do much for hormones. But if you make little changes in how you care for your skin, you can control the amount of oil on your skin and reduce the breakouts.

Proper Skincare routine to deal with oily skin

Wash Your face twice a day

Washing your face twice a day with the right product will help reduce dirt from your skin and reduce the amount of oil production from your skin after regular washing.

So, make it a part of your routine that you will wash your face after you wake up in the morning and before hitting the bed at night.

Toner is a must for oily skin if you want to deal with it.

Most of us always skip this part in our skincare regime. Tonning works like magic on our skin. It shrinks the open pores and helps in balancing the skin pH level. Especially for oily skincare, toner is essential as it tightens the pores and reduces the oil production on your skin. Using a toner after washing your face will also wipe away all the germs left on your skin even after using a face wash.

When choosing a toner, you should always choose one that is free of alcohol and doesn’t contain any sulfate and parabens. You can opt for Plum Green Tea Alcohol-Free toner.

The serum is essential to deal with oily skin.

Moisturizer

After washing, toning, and applying serum to your skin, the next step is to apply moisturizer.
