Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser specifically formulated for oily skin. Look for products that are oil-free and non-comedogenic, as they won't clog your pores. Avoid harsh scrubbing, as it can stimulate oil production. However, be careful not to over-cleanse, as it can strip away too much oil and lead to rebound oil production.

Incorporating a toner into your skincare routine can help remove excess oil and tighten the appearance of pores. Look for toners that contain ingredients like witch hazel, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil, as they have astringent properties that can help control oil production.

Even if you have oily skin, it's important to moisturize to maintain a balanced moisture barrier. Choose lightweight, oil-free, and non-comedogenic moisturizers or gels that provide hydration without adding extra oil to your skin.

Consider using oil-absorbing products, such as oil-free primers or mattifying lotions, to help control shine throughout the day. These products can help reduce the appearance of oiliness and provide a matte finish.

Oily skin still needs protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. Use a lightweight, oil-free, and sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Look for sunscreens labeled as "matte" or "dry touch" to avoid adding extra shine to your skin.

While it may seem counterintuitive, over-washing your face can actually stimulate your skin to produce more oil. Stick to washing your face twice a day and avoid excessive scrubbing or using harsh cleansers.

Carry oil-absorbing blotting papers with you throughout the day to quickly remove excess oil from your face without disturbing your makeup. Press the blotting paper gently onto your skin, focusing on the oily areas, to absorb the excess oil.

Touching your face can transfer oil, dirt, and
bacteria to your skin, leading to breakouts. Try to keep your hands away from
your face and avoid leaning your face on objects that may have accumulated oil
or dirt.

Look for makeup products labeled as "oil-free" and "non-comedogenic" to avoid clogging your pores. Avoid heavy, greasy foundations and opt for lightweight, powder-based formulas instead. Remove your makeup thoroughly before going to bed.
