7 Best Skin Care Products For Oily Skin

Do you have oily skin and find it hard to keep under control? You are not alone, believe me. It can be frustrating not finding the right products that work for your skin. I’ve put together the nine best skin care products for oily skin. Let’s jump right in!

1. Micellar Cleansing Water

I use micellar water both day and night. I have oily skin and I’ve seen a significant difference in the quality of my skin since using it. This stuff has a track record of working miracles on oily skin. It leaves your skin feeling so refreshed and clean. It’s that extra step after using a makeup wipe, and it is just as important, if not more. Personally, I use the Garnier Micellar Water 3-in-1 Makeup Remover and Cleanser.

2. Oil Free Acne Wash

This Neutrogena acne face wash is perfect for oily skin. It cleanses your face without drying you out and prevents breakouts all at once. What more could you ask for? Oh, and it smells divine. When your face smells like pink grapefruit you can’t really complain.

3. Charcoal Face Masks

Imagine this. It’s Friday night and you have zero plans. Pour yourself some Rose, draw a hot bath, light a candle and throw on a charcoal face mask. Treat your self, you deserve it! I love doing a face mask to wind down after a long week. It’s so rejuvenating for your skin, especially if you wear a lot of makeup like me. This is like a reboot for your face, and charcoal is oily skin’s best friend. It mattifies your face and clears breakouts without drying out your skin.

4. Oil-Free Moisturizer

I know using moisturize on oily skin may seem counter-intuitive, but it’s not. Trust me! There are plenty of moisturizers made just for oily skin, that hydrate your skin without adding excess oil. I use moisturizer every morning under my foundation, unless your foundation is moisturizing then you’re set. I love the Cerave facial moisturizing lotion because it has SPF 30. I don’t even need to worry about putting on sunscreen. I also use the PM version at night if my skin is feeling extra dry.

5. Facial Toner

Toner is perfect for getting an overall even complexion and making impurities less visible. I highly recommend Thayer’s Witch Hazel Facial Toner. I personally use the lavender scent because I love the way my face smells after using it. I use this in my morning skin care routine before I put on any makeup.

6. Deep Cleansing Exfoliator

Everyone needs a good exfoliator to get rid of dead skin and leave your skin feeling extra smooth and clean. Pores get clogged all the time, so this is an easy way to nip those breakouts in the bud before it’s too late. For oily skin, I love the deep cleansing exfoliator from Claudalie.

6. Oil-Free Serum

Facial serum is like a gift to your face. I like to use serums when my face is looking a little dull and it instantly revives my skin. I recommend the Physicians Formula Rose All Day Facial Serum. It tightens and brightens your skin and is specifically formulated for oily skin.

7. Best Skin Care Products: Oil-Free Gel

This Aqua Infusion Oil-Free Gel Cream from Tula is like a breath of fresh air for your skin. It creates a dewy texture for your skin without adding oil. This stuff shrinks your pores and reduces redness. I think we all need this product in our regular skin-care routines.
