Have you ever found yourself glancing in the mirror at lunchtime and noticed that your once flawless complexion has now transformed into something that closely resembles an oil slick?
We are all about achieving a healthy radiant glow, whether it be on our cheekbones, hair or nails. But on our T-zone? Not so much. Luckily for us, there are subtle changes that we can make to our skincare and make-up routines that will stave off the dreaded 12pm shine.
It is common misconception that the best way to combat oily skin is to deprive your skin from much needed moisture. Many people will opt to use harsh, stripping products that remove all oils from the skin. This will only work to do the exact reverse, causing the skin to over-compensate for the reduction of oils by producing even more oil, which in turn only worsens the problem.
Instead, the best products for oily skin are gentle, lightweight hydrating formulas that let your skin do its thing while still being clearing and soothing for the skin – balance is the key.
Click through for the 10 best products for oily skin that’ll maintain a shine-free face all day long.
#1 – Sukin Oil Balancing Plus Charcoal Purifying Gel Cleanser $12.99
Start the day off with a fresh face (literally!) by cleansing with a face wash specifically targeted to purify, balance and detoxify the skin. Look for ingredients such as charcoal, salicylic acid and aloe vera that will work to remove oil and dirt build up deep within your pores and smooth the skin all at once, like this gel cleanser from Sukin. Avoid foaming cleansers as these will only strip your skin of moisture and trigger more oil production.
