Use a gentle cleanser formulated specifically for oily skin to remove excess oil, grime, and impurities. Avoid harsh cleansers.

Even oily skin requires moisturization, contrary to conventional belief. Choose non-comedogenic, oil-free or lightweight moisturizers that won't obstruct your pores.
3
Include oil-absorbing products, such as blotting papers and oil-control powders, in your hygiene regimen.
4
Choose a gentle exfoliant containing salicylic acid or glycolic acid to help regulate sebum production and increase cell turnover.
5
Utilize masks containing ingredients such as kaolin clay or bentonite clay once or twice per week to reduce the appearance of pores and control oiliness.
8
Steer clear of skincare products that contain harsh ingredients, such as alcohol, sulfates, or fragrances, as they can dry out your skin.
9
Although it may be tempting to wash your face frequently in an effort to remove excess oil, overwashing can actually increase oil production.
9
Avoid foundations with thick, viscous, or creamy textures, as they can contribute to an oily appearance. Look for products that are labeled "matte" or "oil-free" to reduce sheen.
10
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also aid in the management of oily skin. Maintain a diet abundant in fruits, vegetables, and whole cereals.
