  • Cleanse regularly

If you are a person with oily skin, you must cleanse regularly. So in a day, you should cleanse twice to keep the skin oil-free. Do not overdo it as that can be counter-productive and the skin might secrete more oil.

  • Gel-based cleanser

You must use a gel-based cleanser that contains salicylic acid, citric acid and glycolic acid which help in removing dead skin cells which generally tend to clog pores which then could lead to pimples

  • Face mask

A face mask is something that will help you soak the oil and hence needs to be inculcated in your skincare routine. The face mask also removes bacteria that are harmful from the skin. A face mask made of natural earth ingredients like Multani mitti or sandalwood once a week to get the best result.

  • Minimal makeup

Heavy makeup will become a hindrance for you especially if you have oily skin. This makes will choke all the pores making the skin burst with pimples and acne. Hence during summer, go easy on the makeup. Apply something minimal and not intrusive to your skin so that your skin can breathe.

  • Don’t touch the face

The more you touch your face during summer, the more it tends to secrete oil. Hence try not to touch your face every minute.

  • Use blotting paper

A blotting paper is known for its absorption, hence it is one the best things you can use during summers. Apply the blotting paper gently and it will soak all the excess oil on your face.

  • Exfoliate

Exfoliation is again important as in summer the oily skin will attract a lot of dirt and particle which will cling to the skin and eventually block the pores. Regular exfoliation will clear all the dirt and other particles along with the dead skin cells and make your skin look refreshing.

  • Sunscreen

It is summer and the application of sunscreen is super important. Try to use sunscreen that is not too heavy in its texture. Also, it should be SPF 30 or above.
