The thing about skincare is that everyone always feel theirs is the hardest to manage. People with dry skin are forever complaining about dealing with their skin type. As do people with oily skin. The grass might be greener on the other side but everyone's skin is unique in their own way. So it doesn't matter what's your skin type – it's all about getting the basics right & treating it with the right kind of skincare products. Speaking of which, if you're someone with oily skin, let us tell you all about the essentials you'll need to build your own skincare kit.
The most common concern for anyone with oily skin is managing excess sebum & oil production, of course. What you needed is a good face wash or cleanser to help you remove all the impurities from your clogged pores and a serum that's designed to treat this skin type. The secret ingredient in that serum should be niacinamide to balance excess sebum production and reduce that oil-like shine. If you're also dealing with blackheads, whiteheads and/or clogged pores, add a salicylic acid-based product in your regimen as an extra step as well. And lastly, ensure your moisturiser & sunscreen are both water and/or gel-based only – anything else will further contribute to the problem.
Get yourself a face wash that's effective enough to deeply cleanse all your pores and remove impurities & excess oil without making the skin too dry or disrupting your skin barrier. If it's sounding like a tall task, it most definitely isn't.

Naicinamide is that wonder ingredient that's going to help your oily skin with everything from excess oil to excess shine, while reducing sebum production. Use this serum morning & evening before applying your moisturizer. Start slow, if you also have sensitive skin, and build it up from there.

A good moisturizer for oily skin is one that's only water/gel based and deeply nourishes the skin without feeling too heavy. This is the most crucial thing to remember as you don't want to use a thick moisturizer – it will only clog your pores and reverse the effects of your serum.

Like your moisturizer, even your sunscreen needs to be one that's light on the skin & leaves no waste. Anything that isn't quick absorbing will end up clogging your pores, always remember that!
