It can be a struggle to find the right products for oily skin. You don’t want to get something that'll be too drying and you don’t want something very gentle that won’t get rid of the excess oil on your face. Oily skin essentially means having excess sebum production, so what you want to be careful about when you have this type of skin is not use products that overly dry your face in the name of getting rid of the oil. Another problem that people with oily skin face is that their pores get clogged, eventually forming acne. You might have the products you use on a daily sorted — but some attention should be given to your weekly routine as well. A face pack for oily skin is something that can help you regulate sebum production, and also be your weekly pick-me-up ritual, a win-win in our opinion.

Quench Rice Water Clay-Cream Mask
One of the reasons why skin starts producing excess sebum is when it's trying to stay hydrated, which means oily skin can be a result of extremely dry skin as well which is ironic! This Quench Rice Water Clay-Cream Mask has a great balance of both, the aloe vera mixed with the rice extracts help give you a boost of hydration, while kaolin clay gently exfoliates and absorbs excess oil. What we really loved about it was the fact
that they have a 15ml pack also, which is great if you want to try the product before committing to the full size bottle.
