Oily skin can feel like a curse—shine by noon, clogged pores, and regular breakouts. But with the right skincare steps, you can take control.

The first step is using a gentle cleanser twice a day. Avoid anything that strips the skin completely—this can actually increase oil production. Next, use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. Yes, even oily skin needs hydration.

Exfoliation is your friend, but don’t overdo it. Use a mild exfoliant 2-3 times a week to clear dead skin and prevent clogged pores. Look for ingredients like salicylic acid and niacinamide, which are effective yet non-irritating.

Finally, always remove makeup before bed and avoid touching your face frequently. With patience and the right routine, oily skin can become manageable and even glow in a good way.
