Spring Essentials: Normal - Oily Skin

Hi and welcome to the Blog. Indulge your senses and embark on a transformative journey towards luminous, rejuvenated skin in this sanctuary of self-care and skincare wisdom.

Skincare Routine for Normal to Oily Skin

Spring brings warmer temps and more humidity, which can make oily skin feel even shinier. Here’s how to keep your skin balanced and glowing (not greasy)!

• Switch to a Lightweight Cleanser – Use a gentle foaming or gel-based cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities without stripping the skin.

• Incorporate a Balancing Toner – A toner with ingredients like witch hazel or niacinamide can help control oil and minimize the appearance of pores.

• Hydrate Without the Heaviness – Opt for an oil-free or gel-based moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated without clogging pores.

• Use a Daily SPF – A lightweight, oil-free sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) is essential to protect against UV rays and prevent excess sebum production from sun exposure.

• Introduce a Weekly Clay Mask – A kaolin or bentonite clay mask can help absorb excess oil and keep breakouts at bay.

• Exfoliate Regularly – Use a gentle chemical exfoliant (like salicylic acid) 2–3 times a week to prevent clogged pores and brighten the skin.

• Keep Blotting Papers Handy – For quick touch-ups throughout the day, blotting papers can help absorb excess shine without disrupting makeup.

I personally prefer a matte finish in the spring/summer. Look for these actives for a shine free complexion.

Best Active Ingredients for Oil Control

✨ Salicylic Acid – Exfoliates inside the pores to reduce oil & prevent breakouts.

✨ Niacinamide – Regulates oil production & minimizes pores.

✨ Zinc PCA – Helps control sebum & soothe inflammation.

✨ Kaolin & Bentonite Clay – Absorb excess oil & detox the skin.

✨ Green Tea Extract – Contains antioxidants that reduce oiliness & inflammation.

✨ Tea Tree Oil – Has antibacterial properties that help with breakouts & oil control.

I hope this helps you transition into spring for your best complexion yet!
