A Routine for Skin That’s Feeling Oily
This is a simple four-step edit for skin that’s dealing with excess shine, congestion or that not-quite-clean feeling by the end of the day. It covers the essentials: cleanse away buildup, refresh with a lightweight mist, exfoliate when skin needs a reset & moisturise without a heavy finish.
Everything here comes from our Hydration+ range, because oily skin still needs hydration. The goal isn’t to strip skin back, it’s to keep things feeling fresh, comfortable & balanced.
Why Stripping Skin Isn’t the Answer
When skin feels oily, it’s tempting to reach for the strongest cleanser possible & hope for the best. But over-cleansing can leave skin feeling tight, uncomfortable & generally harder to manage. A routine that cleanses properly while still supporting hydration is usually the better move.
This edit keeps things straightforward: effective everyday cleansing, light hydration & a clay exfoliator for the moments when skin feels congested or rough around the edges.
Balance, Without the Heavy Feeling
Used regularly, these formulas help support skin that feels clean, refreshed & more comfortable through the day. The Gel Cleanser removes daily buildup, while the Toning Mist gives skin a quick, lightweight hydration step after cleansing.
The Detoxifying Clay Exfoliator helps give congested areas a reset once or twice a week, while the Daily Face Moisturiser keeps skin feeling hydrated without the richer finish it may not always want. Simple, practical & not trying to overdo it.
How to Keep Oily Skin Feeling Fresh
Hydration+ Gel Cleanser. Use morning & night to cleanse away excess oil, makeup, SPF & daily buildup.
Hydration+ Toning Mist. Mist over cleansed skin to refresh, prep & add a light layer of hydration.
Hydration+ Daily Face Moisturiser. Apply after cleansing or serum steps to keep skin hydrated without weighing it down.
Hydration+ Detoxifying Clay Exfoliator. Use once or twice a week after cleansing to help clear away buildup & smooth the feel of skin.
Keep cleanser, mist & moisturiser as your everyday core three, then bring in the clay exfoliator when skin needs a little more attention.
FAQs

How often should I exfoliate oily skin?
Once or twice a week is a good place to start. Consistency is more useful than overdoing it.
