Does your face look shiny only a few hours after washing it? Do you struggle with clogged pores, blackheads or frequent breakouts?
You may have oily skin.
Having oily skin isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The goal isn’t to remove every trace of oil from your skin, but to find a routine that helps keep excess oil under control while maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
Here’s how to build a simple skincare routine for oily skin.
What Causes Oily Skin?
Your skin naturally produces sebum, an oil that helps keep it protected and moisturised.
However, some people naturally produce more sebum than others. Genetics, hormones, stress and other factors can influence how oily your skin becomes.
Trying to completely dry out oily skin can sometimes leave it feeling irritated and uncomfortable.
Instead, focus on balance.
Step 1: Use a Suitable Cleanser
Cleansing helps remove excess oil, sweat, dirt and other impurities from your skin.
For oily and acne-prone skin, ingredients such as salicylic acid can be particularly useful because they help exfoliate the skin and unclog pores.
One option at Bimzee is the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with 2% Salicylic Acid, formulated for oily and acne-prone skin.

Step 2: Add a Lightweight Serum
Oily skin can still benefit from hydration.
A lightweight serum containing niacinamide can be a useful addition to an oily-skin routine.
The Estelin Rosehip & Niacinamide Spots Fading Serum combines niacinamide with rosehip oil, hyaluronic acid and glycerin. It is designed to support a more even-looking complexion while providing hydration.

Step 3: Don’t Skip Moisturiser
One of the biggest mistakes people with oily skin make is skipping moisturiser.
Your skin still needs hydration.
Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas that provide moisture without leaving your face feeling excessively greasy.
The PanOxyl PM Balancing Repair Moisturizer is formulated with niacinamide, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and Centella Asiatica and is listed by Bimzee as fragrance-free, oil-free and non-comedogenic.

Step 4: Finish With Sunscreen
Oily skin still needs daily sun protection.
Choose a sunscreen that feels comfortable on your skin and doesn’t leave you feeling overly greasy.
The Estelin Ultra Light Hydrating Invisible Sunscreen SPF 80 PA+++ has a lightweight, water-based texture and is currently available at Bimzee.
