The problem of oily skin that doesn’t go away, constantly remains, and recurs frequently is caused by overactive sebaceous glands. The underlying causes of this issue vary for each person, such as genetics, hormones, certain cosmetics, pollution, and diets high in starches and sugars, which are the main culprits that lead to oily skin and breakouts.

What product should I use to get rid of oily skin?

When choosing products for oily skin, it is important to carefully read the labels or packaging. For people with oily skin, choose products with a low oil content and ingredients like Salicylic acid, Glycolic acid, Beta-Hydroxy acid, Azelaic acid, and Benzoyl peroxide.

Most products that contain these ingredients will help reduce acne. These components work by inhibiting the activity of sebaceous glands, resulting in less oil production throughout the day.

How to fix oily face

1. Wash your face thoroughly every morning and evening using a gentle cleanser that contains ingredients to help control oil production. Avoid scrubbing your face too often, as this can stimulate the sebaceous glands and increase oil production.
2. After cleansing, apply toner—especially on oily areas such as the forehead, nose, and chin. Avoid applying toner to dry areas of the face.
3. Use oil-blotting paper by gently pressing it on oily areas like the forehead, nose, or chin for about 15–20 seconds. This helps absorb excess oil and reduce shine.
4. Wipe your face with facial wipes—some brands contain salicylic acid, glycolic acid, alcohol, or ingredients that slow down oil production. These are especially suitable for oily skin and help refresh the face conveniently.
5. Apply aloe vera gel—it helps reduce oiliness, tightens pores, firms the skin, and provides moisture to the skin.
6. Use Srichand loose powder as a face mask—it effectively removes excess oil, treats acne, and leaves the skin soft, smooth, and radiant.
