One of beauty’s biggest battles is trying to combat oily skin. Triggered by highly productive sebaceous glands, those that produce both oil and sebum in the skin, people who suffer from it may find themselves dabbing at their complexion throughout the day. There are formulas that have been created to help this issue. Not only can they diminish oily skin, but they can also prevent acne and reduce shine. These are the products to shop now.
The Exfoliating Face Wash
To be used daily, this face wash by clean beauty brand Codex features a gentle scrub that won’t compromise your skin’s natural barrier. Helping to remove excess oils, it softens and purifies the skin, promoting a healthy dermis. Clinical trials measured a 27.5% reduction in sebum production and oiliness.
The Clarifying Mask
Take 15 minutes once or twice a week to mask. Tata Harper’s clarifying formula features AHA superfruits and exfoliants which target blemishes and help control oil. Unlike other masks, this non-drying blend helps soothe skin with raw honey featuring hydrating properties.
The Mattifying Primer
To keep your makeup looking fresh throughout the day, you need to start at the base. Gucci’s newest formula can be used alone and with foundation. Featuring a seboregulator complex, it helps to reduce the appearance of pores, controls shine and helps makeup last all day long.
The Sunscreen
A crucial step in your skincare routine is SPF. Those that suffer from oil, breakouts and sensitivity often find that most formulas leave them feeling greasy and can worsen these issues. EltaMD has created a lightweight blend that features a trio of game-changing ingredients, including niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and lactic acid, promoting healthy-looking and feeling skin.
The Setting Powder
When wearing makeup, a setting powder can as the name suggests, set your look, and it last longer. Makeup icon Kevyn Aucoin’s formula is micro-fine making it lightweight and ultra-silky. Always make sure to tap the powder on the back of your hand to reduce excess. Do not use too much powder. It can block and clog pores which can make acne worse in the long run.
