What is the best daily routine for controlling oily skin?

A consistent routine is key to managing excess oil production and maintaining balanced skin. Start your morning with a gentle, oil-controlling cleanser to remove overnight build-up, followed by a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep skin hydrated without adding shine. Apply an oil control serum from our serums & essences collection to target problem areas, and finish with a mattifying SPF to protect your skin throughout the day. In the evening, double cleanse to thoroughly remove makeup and impurities, then use a balancing toner and night cream formulated for oily & blemish prone skin types to support your skin's natural renewal process while you sleep.

Will using a moisturiser make my oily skin worse?

This is a common misconception, but skipping moisturiser can actually make oily skin worse. When skin feels dehydrated, it compensates by producing even more oil, creating a cycle of excess shine. The key is choosing the right moisturiser. Look for lightweight, oil-free formulas specifically designed for face shine control that provide essential hydration without clogging pores. Our skincare for oil control range includes gel-based and water-light moisturisers that absorb quickly, leaving skin feeling fresh and balanced rather than greasy or heavy.

How can I stop my face from looking shiny by the end of the day?

Managing shine throughout the day requires a combination of the right products and smart application techniques. Begin with a mattifying primer or oil control base to create a smooth, shine-resistant canvas. Use skincare for oil control products that contain ingredients like tea tree oil or seaweed, which help regulate sebum production naturally. Keep blotting papers handy to absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup, and consider a light dusting of translucent powder on your T-zone. Avoid touching your face throughout the day, as this transfers oils from your hands and can trigger additional shine.

Which ingredients should I look for in shine control skincare?

Effective oil control products typically feature ingredients that regulate sebum production and refine the appearance of pores. Look for tea tree oil, which has natural purifying properties and helps balance oily skin without over-drying. Our seaweed and algae extracts are brilliant for controlling shine whilst providing essential minerals and hydration. Clay-based formulas, particularly those with charcoal, absorb excess oil and draw out impurities. Salicylic acid gently exfoliates and keeps pores clear, whilst niacinamide helps regulate oil production and improve skin texture over time.

How long does it take for oil control products to show results?

Most people begin noticing improvements in shine control within one to two weeks of consistent use, though individual results vary depending on skin type and concerns. You might see immediate mattifying effects after applying certain products, but lasting changes to oil production typically take four to six weeks as your skin adjusts to the new routine. Consistency is key: using your skincare for oil control products twice daily gives your skin the best chance to rebalance naturally. Remember that factors like diet, stress, and hormones also influence oil production, so a holistic approach to face care yields the best long-term results.
