Skincare for Oily Skin

Here Are Our 6 Top Must Haves for Oily Skin

Oily skin needs lots of TLC! Along with an effective skincare routine, you should look at the best diet for oily skin as well. In some ways, the best diet and the best skincare for oily skin will contain similar ingredients that infuse the skin with vital nutrients and vitamins to help treat and balance an oily skin type.

A diet rich in fruits and veggies along with a skincare routine also rich in fruits, veggies and botanicals will help to balance oil production, reduce the frequency and intensity of breakouts and help to heal spots and blemishes more quickly. You also need in your skincare for oily skin, a gentle hydrating moisturiser and ingredients that will help hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone.

Cleansers

You need a deep cleansing face wash for oily skin types. Cleansing twice a day is highly recommended when treating an oily skin as it will cleanse away excess oil from the night before plus cleansing at night, will remove any make-up and impurities from the day.

Eminence’s most popular cleanser for oily skin is their Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser. This face wash for oily skin contains Probiotics, Cucumber Juice and Tea Tree Oil. These botanical actives work together to purify and tone the skin, infuse the skin with good bacteria to fight the bad bacteria causing breakouts (Propionibacterium Acnes bacteria) and reduce inflammation and redness. Daily use of this lightweight cleanser will help to detoxify the skin, improve blemishes keeping your skin looking clearer and help to minimise pores.

If you prefer a face wash for oily skin over a milky cleanser then Eminence’s Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser could be the perfect choice for you. Rich in antioxidants with a Lactic Acid Complex, this face wash will gently resurface the skin removing impurities, balance oil production and minimise pores for a radiant glow. Rich in B Vitamins, mangosteens are a sort of diet for your oily skin as they will nourish the skin and boost your immune system.

Cleansing Oil

Another great skincare option for oily skin that is often over looked is a cleansing oil! Now don’t panic if you are thinking why would you use an oil on an oily skin, as surely this would be too much oil! Well, this is a common mistake when treating oily skin as many products will actually strip away the vital oils your skin needs and leave the skin feeling dry and lacking in oil. The skin reacts to this lack of oil by producing even more oil as these oils are needed to maintain a healthy skin barrier function and protect the skin!!! Incorporating cleansing oils and facial oils can be the ideal solution to balance the oil production rather than increase it.

Eminence’s Stone Crop Cleansing Oil will balance oil production and infuse the skin with healthy oils such as Jojoba Oil and Sunflower Oil. The Detoxifying Microgreens Complex will help to heal the skin and Stone Crop will reduce redness, inflammation and lightly moisturise the skin, keeping it healthy and protected.

Toners

After cleansing the skin, you should use an alcohol free “toner” to balance the pH and treat and hydrate the skin. Eminence’s Toniques and Mists will do just that, with healing botanical plant juices and botanical actives. Lime Refresh Tonique would be our top must have toner for oily skin as the refreshing lime juice will act as an astringent and reduce pores, whilst infusing the skin with Vitamin C and Green Tea to soothe and heal the skin. It feels really refreshing on the skin, cooling any inflammation and rejuvenating the skin for a fresh vibrant look.

Exfoliation Treatment

Even though an oily skin doesn’t always feel dry or have a rough, flaky texture, oily skin will benefit from a regular exfoliation treatment. Eminence’s Clear Skin Willow Bark Exfoliating Peel is our top pick for exfoliating an oily skin. With Willow Bark and Biosulphur this peel will not only remove excess dead skin; it will regulate oil production and reduce inflammation.

Botanical Acids gently dissolve away the build up of dead skin cells and surface impurities. Eminence’s Exfoliating Peels come with organic cotton pads, soak the pads in the liquid peel solution, wipe over the face, neck and décolleté and leave for 3 minutes. You don’t have to wash them off or neutralise them, so these simple yet effective exfoliants are easily added to your skincare routine for oily skin.

Moisturiser

Our final must have would be a moisturiser for oily skin. We haven already mentioned that lots of people who have an oily skin will avoid using anything that is an oil or a moisturiser. The misconception is that an oily skin is moisturised enough! More often than not an oily skin needs a good drink! A lightweight hydrating moisturiser for oily skin is the best must have to hydrate and protect your skin daily.

Our top pick moisturiser for an oily skin would be Eminences Clear Skin Probiotic Moisturiser, this lightweight gel like moisturiser feels super light on the skin, there is no greasy residue and the Probiotics and Tea Tree Oil cool and refresh the skin. The active botanicals will help to clear up blemishes and reduce the frequency and severity of breakouts.
