skincare tips i wish i knew earlier (oily skin)

might do a part 2! ive been experimenting with my skin & these are some tips that have helped me.

1) oil cleansing isnt for everyone

if oil cleansers break you out, thats normal! try switching to micellar water or a cleansing balm. you dont need just an oil cleanser to double cleanse

2) having a hydrating toner & essence in the same routine is unnecessary

- there are other hydrating materials in other products such as ur moisturizer

- spending money on both is a waste

3) if ur skin appears oily after sunscreen, use blotting sheets

- after applying spf, i feel like my skin looks more oily, affecting my makeup so i use blotting sheets to reduce the shine

4) always moisturize

- even if u have oily skin, always moisturize

Understanding oily skin is crucial for selecting the right skincare routine. Many people with oily skin may feel that rich or oil-based products will worsen their condition, but that’s a misconception. Using lightweight moisturizers is key, even for oily skin types. Additionally, introducing niacinamide into your routine can help regulate oil production and minimize pores. When it comes to cleansing, while oil cleansers are popular, they do not suit everyone. For those struggling with breakouts, experimenting with non-comedogenic products is essential. Micellar waters can effectively cleanse without stripping the skin, and hydrating toners can provide an instant moisture boost without adding oil. Blotting sheets are a lifesaver to control mid-day shine after sunscreen application. It’s vital to remember that sun protection is important, and finding an oil-free, matte-finish sunscreen can help keep your skin looking its best throughout the day. Furthermore, investing in a good exfoliating routine is beneficial. Chemical exfoliants, such as salicylic or glycolic acid, can help unclog pores and reduce the appearance of acne breakouts. Incorporating exfoliation 1-2 times a week can dramatically improve skin texture and clarity. Lastly, always listen to your skin’s needs. What works for one individual may not work for another, so patience and experimentation are essential in formulating the optimal skincare routine tailored for oily skin.

I don’t agree with using the bottom sheets because you could use a more matte sunscreen or cover with a light powder instead of using a sheet and removing some of the sunscreen. Check with your dermatologist.
