Skincare for Oily Skin
Oily skin can feel shiny, congested or difficult to balance, particularly through the forehead, nose and chin. The right skincare routine can help remove excess surface oil while maintaining hydration and supporting a comfortable, healthy-looking skin barrier.
At Le Grand Medispa, our oily skin collection brings together professional skincare products designed for oily and combination complexions, including cleansers, serums, moisturisers, exfoliators, masks and targeted treatments.
The goal when caring for oily skin should not simply be to remove as much oil as possible. Harsh cleansing or excessive exfoliation can leave the complexion feeling tight, dry or uncomfortable. Instead, look for products that help cleanse effectively while maintaining the skin’s moisture balance.
What Causes Oily-Looking Skin?
Sebum is the natural oil produced by the skin. While it plays an important role in maintaining the skin barrier, some people naturally produce more oil than others.
Oily skin may appear shiny throughout the day and can sometimes be accompanied by enlarged-looking pores, congestion or breakouts. Combination skin may experience similar concerns through the T-zone while the cheeks remain normal or dry.
Your skincare routine, environment, climate and the products you use can all affect how oily your complexion feels.
How to Build an Oily Skin Routine
Start with a cleanser designed to remove makeup, sunscreen, impurities and excess oil without leaving the skin feeling stripped.
A serum can then be used to address specific concerns such as visible pores, uneven-looking texture, blemishes or dehydration. Ingredients commonly found in skincare for oily skin include niacinamide, salicylic acid and lightweight hydrating ingredients.
Exfoliation can also be useful when the skin feels congested or uneven, but more exfoliation is not necessarily better. Follow product directions and avoid layering too many strong active ingredients at once.
Oily skin still requires moisturiser. Lightweight moisturisers can provide hydration without feeling overly rich or heavy on the complexion.
Finish your morning routine with broad-spectrum SPF.
Can Oily Skin Be Dehydrated?
Yes. Oil and water are different, which means skin can produce excess sebum while still lacking hydration.
If your skin feels oily but also tight, dull or uncomfortable, consider incorporating lightweight hydrating products rather than avoiding moisturiser altogether.
Hyaluronic acid and other humectant ingredients are commonly used to attract and retain moisture at the skin’s surface without necessarily creating a heavy finish.
Choosing Products for Oily and Combination Skin
The most suitable routine will depend on your individual concerns. If shine is your primary concern, you may prefer lighter textures. If you also experience breakouts or congestion, targeted exfoliating or clarifying products may be helpful.
For combination skin, it can also be useful to adjust products according to different areas of the face rather than treating the entire complexion exactly the same way.
