Got Oily Skin? Lotion To Spritzers, These Products Are Ideal For You

Start off by understanding that water-based anything is awesome for your skin! Like this mild-water based cleanser from Avene. It rids your skin of all the dirt and impurities without clogging your pores. The cleansing gel has glyceryl laurate a compound that helps regulate sebum/oil production. It is also soap and paraben free which means you can use it twice a day (morning and evening preferably)

The Bioderma cleansing foam has a gel-based and soap-free formula that gently cleanses the skin without drying it. It's also non-comedogenic which means it won’t clog your pores. Bioderma also claims (based on feedback) that 37.5% of people saw a decrease in sebum secretion after 28 days of usage.

A good oily skin exfoliator is hard to come by but the Lotus Berry Scrub does a fairly good job. It's a mild scrub, therefore it gently removes the dead skin without aggravation and reduces excess oil production. The aloe vera extracts will also help soothe the skin and keep the pores from plugging.

The glycolic acid and green tea leaf extract in Plum's alcohol free toner makes it a winner for oily skin. Apply it right after exfoliation and it will make those pores almost invisible! So, all you will be left with is refined skin with zero sign of oiliness.

Tea tree oil works wonders for oily skin and this face mist by local brand Navah is packed with its goodness. These essential oils help balance the pH levels of the skin all while it rejuvenates and hydrates. Great to spritz at any time of the day and especially after you've cleansed.

This facial kit has been created keeping oily skin in mind so you know it's going to be effective. It is also going to show results because Trnatva uses only natural ayurvedic ingredients like lotus, hibiscus, chamomile, and manjistha (helps control breakouts, super common with oily skin). We especially like this kit because it comes with a cleanser, floral steam, scrub and under eye cream. All with instructions and steps with how to use and these are 5gm packs, so perfect for one single use.

Just because your skin is naturally moisturised most of the time doesn't mean you steer clear of moisturisers and creams. The key is to pick oil free moisturisers and not the pore clogging heavy formulas. Which is what makes Mamaearth's moisture your best bet. It is free from silicones, toxins, parabens, and harmful chemicals. Its non-greasy formula hydrates your skin without sending your oil glands into overdrive.

People with an oily skin type should resort to gel-based moisturisers as they are extremely lightweight and get absorbed in the skin fairly quickly. The Neutrogena Hydroboost is a great pick and isn’t super expensive either. Many suggest that it's a great affordable option for those who love (or wish to try) Clinique's Moisture Surge Moisturiser. 

Price: INR 1,000

Serums aren't an absolute necessity but if and when you're feeling dehydrated opt for the Matra Tea Tree Serum. It's light, hydrating, has anti-acne and brightening properties. Its lightweight formula gets absorbed by the skin easily, so you don't have to worry about that everlasting shine. We however suggest using it before bedtime. 

Price: INR 595

Sunscreen is one product and step people with oily skin shouldn't skip. Make sure you layer it on well before stepping out. The Organic Harvest Sunscreen for oily skin is  mineral based and has organic zinc oxide among other ingredients that absorbs oil making it your ideal choice. 

Price: 395

The ultra matte sunscreen from Re'equil is SPF 50 with PA +++ coverage and is a tried and tested product by the LBB crew, so you know you're in good hands with this one. It doesn’t leave a white cast and is lightweight compared to others available in the market.
