Cleanse

Use a mild cleanser in the morning and a little stronger cleanser in the evening to get rid of daytime grime, makeup, and sunscreen. Seek for cleansers that indicate they are "non-comedogenic" or "oil-free," indicating they won't clog your pores.

Exfoliation

Dead skin cells that clog pores and cause breakouts can be removed with the use of exfoliation. But over-exfoliating can aggravate oily skin.

Apply A Toner

Toners can aid in balancing the pH of your skin. If your skin is sensitive, avoid this step as they can potentially be drying.

Apply A Serum

Serums are lightweight, concentrated treatments that can target specific skin concerns. For oily skin, look for serums that contain ingredients like niacinamide, azelaic acid, or vitamin C.

Moisturize

Just because your skin is oily doesn't mean you don't need to moisturize. In fact, using a moisturizer can help to keep your skin balanced and prevent it from producing even more oil.

Sunscreen

Sun exposure can damage your skin and make it appear oilier. Choose a non-comedogenic sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and apply it every day, even on cloudy days.

Blot All Day Long

To absorb extra oil if your skin becomes shiny over the day, use blotting sheets. Use caution and avoid rubbing your face.
