Oily skin is tough to handle specially in summers. So here I’ll give you the best skin care for oily skin. Along with the ingredients I will also suggest some products which will be very good on skin. I personally used them and suggested it to my friend who has very oily skin. On my skin it was not ideal because I have combinational skin. But my friend tried this out and she was shocked after seeing the result.
Best Ingredients For Oily Skin
Now I’m going to tell you the best ingredients which suit oily skin so much. Most of them are very popular with different properties. These ingredients are best to apply in a serum form. Just go downward to get the knowledge about the most useful and helpful ingredients for oily skin.
Niacinamide + Salicylic Acid
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is the best for oily skin because along with hydration it helps to reduce oil production and shrinking pores. I see many of my friends who have oily skin get more open pores on the skin so I think niacinamide is the best for treating open pores.
Not only for oily skin but also it can be used by other skin types because it balances the oil production not reducing. It can be used by dry skin people because it is hydrating and nourishing the skin along with combination skin. We can say that it is the holy Grail for the whole skin type.

Salicylic Acid:
Now come towards the salicylic acid. This acid is very beneficial to fight with comedones, blackheads and whiteheads. Most of the oily skin in people have blackheads and whiteheads on their skin so it will help to fight with them. It works very effectively and cleans the skin leaving behind very smooth and supple skin.

Combination of Salicylic Acid And Niacinamide:
You can see that I write the combination of these ingredients on the skin while combining these two skin care ingredients. It will work like magic. This combination is best for the oily skin because along with the pore cleaning it will help to reduce the pore size and oil production.
Now I will tell you how to layer these two ingredients on the skin. First of all wash the face with a gentle facewash. Then dry your face for about 5 minutes then apply two drops of salicylic acid on the face. Absorb it after 5 minutes and apply our thin layer of niacinamide serum.
You have to take just two drops, not more than two or less than two drops. After applying them, top it up with a moisturizer. which type of moisturizer you should use I will suggest below but it should be oil free. This would be a night time routine. Do not apply this routine during the day time but you can apply single niacinamide during daytime but always apply sunscreen on it.
Hyaluronic Acid
Now here is another ingredient which is ideal for the dry skin people but I prefer it to apply it on oily skin people. Oily skin people should avoid oil based things but hyaluronic acid serum is not oily it’s hydrating. Just keep a thing in your mind that oily skin people have a problem with oil not humactant. so all the ingredients which have oil should avoid it but in winters they can use it.
Hydration is not the enemy so they can use the hydrating serum or hydrating moisturizers. Therefore I always recommend oily skin type people to apply this ingredient on the skin. There is a reason for this.
As we know oily skin people are very concerned with the oil production so they tried to dry out the skin. Therefore the hydration level becomes low. That’s why it is very important to apply hydrating things on the face while avoiding the oily things.

Benzoyl Peroxide
The third thing is benzoyl peroxide. This ingredient is very helpful while we get active acne. As we all know oil skin people always get the active acne on the skin so they should use this on the skin just on the area where the acne is present.
It is not ideal to apply on all the face so just apply a drop on the pimple. It will dry your pimples and will get rid of it in just 2 days. If the girl is going to be a bride or you have to go to every event then this ingredient should be in your pocket.
Best Products For Oily Skin
Now I will give you the best products which I tried out and my fellows also tried out on their oily skin. These products are very useful while you have oily skin. I will also tell you which ingredient you have to use in which season. Just take a glance at the below information.
Facewash
Below is the recommendation and these face wash are very very helpful while in summer you can also use it during the winter but most of the skin have to apply a neutral and mild face wash. I also have an article where I use to make a face wash at home you can read it here.
If you have a low budget then you can make your mind face wash at your home but if you want to know how to make other types of facewashes then let me know in the comment. But here are my recommendations which are experienced by me and my friends so you can blindly trust me and buy them.

Moisturizers
When it comes to the moisturizer these skin types Apple have to apply oil free moisturizer. Really oily skin type Apple have to use the oil based moisturizer when there is a strong winter season but just during night.
Basically oily skin people do not need oil based moisturizer but if they are living in the cold areas all are trying to apply tretinoin on the skin then they have to apply this type of moisturizer. But generally I will only suggest oil free and below I gave them some of my recommendations you can buy by clicking the link on them.
Sunscreen
In Pakistan getting the skin according to your skin type is very difficult because they claim it is oil free but generally they are not oil free but below I have tried out some screen which works best during this summer and on the oily skin for any season. Generally there are two types of sunscreen.
The first one is physical and the second one is chemical but many brands try to make a hybrid one. I have a combination skin so I use a hybrid one. But in the summer my skin feels somewhat oily so this hybrid one works well for me. But if you have very very oily skin then you have to apply chemical sunscreen on the skin.
Physical sunscreen will give you some heaviness and can clog pores. But for the pregnant lady you have to consult with your doctor because I have read many studies that chemical sunscreen is not ideal for pregnant ladies.
Collectively chemical based sunscreen is best for oily skin and can be used during the summer and winters. Below I have attached some chemical based sunscreen but also one hybrid sun screen which is very dry and can give the best result on this type of skin.
