- Hey guys, my name is Nkisu.
Am a content creator from Perth, Australia.
And today we're gonna be talking
all about oily skin specifically
the basics of an oily skin caring routine.
So if you have oily skin,
it just means that your skin produces too much sebum.
And sebum is actually a good thing.
Your skin needs sebum, it helps to moisturize the skin.
It helps protect the skin, but an overproduction of sebum
can lead to things like clogged pores.
It can lead to blackheads.
It can lead to breakouts and acne and all that stuff.
So today I'm going to be going through the basics
of an oily skincare routine. So looking at cleansers,
moisturizers and sunscreens.
If you wanna know why those three specific areas
are so important, make sure you check out Joe's video.
It will be linked in the description below.
But if you guys wanna know more about exfoliants and toners
and serums that are good for oily skin,
let us know in the comments
and will hopefully make a video about it.
So when you're looking for products for oily skin,
in a nutshell you want things that are lightweight.
You want products that are going
to help with sebum production and shine control.
You don't want anything dry.
Might think that you want things that are dry
because your skin is so oily,
but that's a no-no you want hydrated products guys, okay.
So you want hydrating products over drying products,
and noncomedogenic products are also a good idea
because they don't clog up your pores.
So those are kind of like the basic areas
that you should look into when you're looking for products
to incorporate into your routine.
If you have oily skin.
Without further ado, I'm just going to get straight into it
and talk about my favorite cleansers,
moisturizers and sunscreens.
All right. So cleansers the first step of your routine,
when you're looking for a cleanser for oily skin,
you want to look for things that are not drying
or stripping.
Use a gentle and a hydrating cleanser, if you can.
A good idea is also to look for cleansers
that contain of salicylic acid.
Oily skin tends to be more acne prone.
So an ingredient like salicylic acid is great for helping
to absorb oil and help reduce the frequency of breakouts.
So my favorite oil cleansers or my favorite cleansers
for oily skin is the Squalane Cleanser from the Ordinary.
I love this cleanser. It is so so good because
it's just leaves your skin so soft and smooth and hydrated,
not stripped at all,
it is free from oils and free from silicons as well,
and yeah just a great great cleanser.
And I think this is actually good for a whole skin types
and not just oily skin. I really enjoy using it.
And the price point guys, it is so affordable $120
and a great cleanser at that.
I also highly recommend
the Grown Alchemist Gentle Gel Cleanser
that contains Willow Bark which is great for decongestion
as well as skin cell renewal
and the Medicate or Cleanse Gel Intense
that contains mandelic acid.
So it's kind of like an exfoliating cleanser.
The mandelic acid helps to gently exfoliate the skin
as well as helping with sebum regulation
and also minimizing pores.
So definitely check those two out as well.
Okay. So now we're on to moisturizers.
Do not skip out on your moisturizer,
it helps to keep your skin barrier intact.
And if you've been using something that is super drying
and stripping, it will help lock in the moisture
and just add in some extra hydration.
So focus on water-based hydrators over oil-based hydrators.
An ingredient like hyaluronic acid is fantastic.
Okay. My favorite moisturizers
are the Ordinary's Natural Moisturizing Factors
with hyaluronic acid.
This is just a great everyday moisturizer.
It contains ingredients like glycerin, amino acids,
and hyaluronic acid to help hydrate
the skin without feeling too heavy on the skin.
So it's really lightweight and absorbed really nicely.
And I just like it because it works.
And it's really affordable as well.
I also really liked the Aesthetics Prescription,
a daily moisturizer and combination.
This is specifically for oily and combination skin.
It contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid again
and vitamin B5 which is a great for hydrated soothing.
It also contains a plant extract called ethamat,
which helps to reduce oil production,
but this does contain essential oils.
So if that isn't your thing, give it a miss,
but it's so lightweight and like my skin just drinks it up.
So I really love this one.
They're both really great options.
Okay. So next up would be sunscreen,
last step of your routine. When you're looking
for a sunscreen for oily skin, you want something
that is lightweight, hopefully mattifying.
And I was looking for something that's non greasy
and noncomedogenic as well.
So it can be kind of tricky finding something that ticks
all the boxes that you want.
The Aspect Sun Envirostat Face sunscreen
and the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid.
So the Envirostat sunscreen is an SPF of 50.
It is a chemical sunscreen
and it is four hours water resistant and sweat proof.
It smells like banana and it is quite a thick texture.
It doesn't have a white cast.
And the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid
again doesn't have a white cast.
This is an SPF of 50.
And it is noncomedogenic, it is fragrance free.
All right so that is it.
Those are my picks for an oily skin care routine.
Having an oily skin is not the end of the world guys.
And your less likely to get wrinkles if you do.
So I mean it's not that terrible.
