Dedicated Summer Skincare Routine For Oily Skin In Summers

Summer skincare routine for oily skin

You can bifurcate your summer skincare for oily skin into daily and weekly routines and take the required steps.

• Daily summer skincare for oily skin

Here’s a 5-step summer skincare for oily skin that will help you beat the grease and shininess during summer. 

Step 1: Cleansing

Cleansing helps banish dirt, dust, and grime from the skin, ensuring clean pores and a healthy skin renewal process. For your AM cleansing, use a gel facewash that will help cleanse the pores without making the skin overly dry. For your PM summer skincare for oily skin, go for the double cleansing method (as the oiliness can return within hours of cleansing). For double cleansing, first cleanse your face by removing makeup, dirt, and dust with a micellar cleansing water and then apply your cleanser as usual.

Step 2: Toning

Toners benefit oily skin by tightening pores and extracting excess sebum from your skin. So, don’t forget to add a toner to your summer skincare vanity. Follow this effective summer skincare step and take care of your oily skin like a pro.

Step 3: Make way for face serum

This summer, upgrade your summer skincare routine for oily skin by applying non-oily and non-sticky vitamin C face serum on your skin as it helps to fade away dark spots caused by acne (the greatest enemy of oily skin).

Step 4: Moisturising

The next step of summer skincare for oily skin is to applying moisturiser as it aids in hydrating and nourishing the skin. So, include a serum gel moisturiser in your AM summer skincare routine for oily skin that will help you get oil control benefits for a longer time. For night-time oily skin care in summer, you can try the vitamin C yoghurt night cream that helps slough off dead cells and nourish the skin while you catch up on your beauty sleep.

Step 5: Sunscreen

The summer skincare routine for oily skin is incomplete without sunscreen. This staple skincare product protects your skin from the harmful rays of the sun and delays premature ageing and skin diseases like skin cancer. Those who like to keep their skincare vanity minimal can go for a sun-control moisturiser and get the benefit of both sun protection and moisturisation from one product.

• Weekly summer skincare for oily skin

While you should follow the above-mentioned steps daily, there are some skincare steps that should be followed weekly or bi-weekly. We’re talking about exfoliation, and sheet masks aka 5 minutes of ‘me-time’ in your summer skincare for oily skin.

Exfoliation: Those with oily skin must exfoliate their skin twice or thrice a week to remove dead cells and impurities trapped deep underneath the skin, unclog pores, and ultimately enhance the capacity to absorb other oily skin-friendly ingredients and products. Exfoliation should be done right after cleansing your face.

Sheet Mask: Post cleansing, exfoliating, toning, and applying face serums, the next step in your PM summer skincare routine for oily skin should be sheet masks. Although you can apply sheet masks at any time of the day, you can reap the maximum benefits during the evening or at night, considering you are done with all your outdoor activities and can keep the product on your skin for a long time. For best results, you can try the niacinamide-infused purifying mask for oily skin.

Oily skincare tips for summer:
