What Is The Best Facial Kit For Oily Skin

To clear out acne, we have to understand the root cause which is oily skin. But external factors that make it worse are skipping moisturiser, using comedogenic products, the wrong diet, not drinking enough water, over-exfoliation or stressing out. To combat these issues, you need to follow astrict routine that targets oily skin. But If you don't know where to start, then fret not, because we have got you covered when it comes to the best facial kit for oily skin.

The best facial kit for oily skin will control excess sebum without completely stripping the natural oil from your skin. While following your usual CTM routine, also consider adding targeted boosters that control acne and blemishes, sunscreen and a good makeup remover if you don't want makeup to clog your pores and flare up your acne.

Have you ever wondered why toner is a must in a CTM routine? This is because it literally tones your skin, i.e., it keeps your skin soft and hydrated visibly. Don't trust us? Try applying a few drops of the Lakme Absolute Pore Fix Toner to add life to your dull skin while unclogging and tightening open pores. It also clears your skin of all the grime and oil that would otherwise turn into blackheads.

Before you finish yourskincare with moisturiser, get a hold of an acne-clearing booster. They work well on oily and sensitive skin as all you need to do is apply it on the acne, dark spots and scars thrice a day. We love the Simple Detox SOS Clearing Booster as it doesn't have any harsh chemicals like alcohol or even salicylic acid. It just uses zinc, thyme and witch hazel to control the excess oiliness. This gel formula also soothes any irritation and clears hyperpigmentation.

You may think that since your face is oily, you don't need moisturiser. That may be partly why your skin is so oily. If you don't keep your skin moisturised, your oil glands will work overtime while trying to keep the dryness away. Instead, go for a light moisturiser like the Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser. It keeps your skin hydrated and is fast-absorbing so you don't have to worry about a sticky finish. This oil-free moisturiser simply uses borage seed oil, glycerine, and vitamins B5 and E to keep your skin nourished.

Finish up your routine by generously applying some sunscreen. If you are afraid of it being greasy, just opt for a lightweight formula like the Lakme Sun Expert SPF 50 Ultra Matte Sunscreen which doesn't clog pores. It blocks 97% of the UV rays and is easy to apply as it doesn't leave any white residue behind. And while it may be tempting to forego sunscreen, remember the sun can dry out your skin and make your glands produce even more sebum, a vicious cycle which only sunscreen can stop.

Who doesn't like to just drop all their bags and fall to bed after a long and exhausting day? But if you wear makeup to work, you may want to take it all off before you fall asleep. Because makeup plus oily skin plus clogged pores equals a disaster. Take a few drops of a gentle makeup remover like the Simple Daily Skin Detox Oil Be Gone Micellar Water and clean your face. Free of harsh chemicals, it is perfect for oily and acne-prone skin. It uses thyme, zinc and witch hazel to not only remove makeup but unclog your pores and remove excess oil to give you a fresh and clear face.

But if you likeDIY packs and facial kits, there are some that help control excess oil production as well.
