Dealing with oily and greasy skin can be frustrating, especially when it results in too much shine, plus breakouts and blemishes. But by understanding the causes behind oily skin, and incorporating a few key habits into your skincare routine, you can effectively manage and treat your skin. In this feature, we'll cover everything you need to know to help your skin look and feel its best.

1. Understand the Causes of Oily Skin

The first step in treating oily skin is understanding what causes it. Often, oily skin is a result of genetics, hormonal imbalances, and environmental factors. While there are some causes you can't change, such as genetics, there are some things you can do to reduce the excess oil on your skin. Environmental factors such as pollution and humidity, can cause your skin to produce more oil. 

2. Develop an Effective Skincare Routine

Developing an effective skincare routine is one of the most important steps in treating oily skin. Choosing the right products like Nakin's, and using them consistently can help to control excess oil. Start by washing your face twice a day with a our Rejuvenating Face Wash and follow with our Purifying Face Toner to remove any remaining oil and impurities, then apply our lightweight Matt Formula Moisturiser that won't clog pores. 

3. Use the Right Products

If you have oily skin, it can be tempting to skip the moisturiser. But doing so can actually make your skin condition worse. Oily skin still needs hydration to stay healthy and balanced, so look for lightweight moisturisers like our Matt Cream that deeply hydrates without the shine. Additionally, incorporating our Exfoliating Radiance Tonic into your nightly routine can help to unclog pores and remove excess oil, keeping your skin looking fresh and renewed.

4. Make lifestyle changes

Making a few simple lifestyle changes can help to reduce oily skin. One of the most effective changes is watching what you eat. Avoiding foods that are high in sugar, oil, and unhealthy fats, like fried foods and processed snacks, can help to minimise excess oil on your skin. Additionally, getting regular exercise and reducing stress can help balance hormones and encourage healthy skin. Lastly, avoid touching your face throughout the day as the oils and bacteria on your hands can cause breakouts.

Oily skin can be challenging, but with the right knowledge and a few simple steps, it can be effectively managed and controlled. Give our tips a try today, and say hello to healthy, clear, and radiant skin.
