Cleansers for Oily Skin

Face Cleansers for Oily Skin

Oily skin is one of the most common skin concerns that can often present unique challenges, such as a shiny complexion or acne breakouts. Fortunately, Kohl’s has a wide assortment of cleansers formulated for oily skin sure to be great additions to your skincare routine. From exfoliating cleansers to cleansing balms, you’re sure to find skincare essentials that suit your needs.

What Causes Oily Skin?

Oily skin is caused by a variety of factors. Genetics is a common one but where you live and its climate can also play a role in how oily your skin can get. Our bodies naturally produce oil to keep our skin soft and supple. However, too much oil can present a shiny and greasy look. The good news is that we have plenty of oil-fighting cleansers available to help mattify your T-zone and reduce redness.

How Often Should You Cleanse Your Face?

The easiest way to treat oily skin is to simply wash your face in the morning and at night each day. During the nighttime, your skin sheds skin cells while producing oils. Therefore, it’s necessary to wash your face again right away in the morning.

Try to avoid vigorously scrubbing and washing your skin as this can lead to stripping, which can cause you to produce even more oil. If you have acne-prone skin, you should also cleanse twice a day. This will effectively ensure that makeup, sweat, sunscreen, and other things are properly removed.

What Cleansers Work Best for Oily Skin?

When it comes to choosing a cleanser, be sure to take a look at its list of ingredients. After all, you don’t want a formula that feels too harsh or dries out your skin. A good face wash for oily skin should leave your face feeling soft and matte throughout the day.

Heavier products often result in excess shine, so it’s best to use lightweight, oil-free products to minimize potential greasiness. Ingredients like niacinamide help to regulate oil on a superficial level while salicylic acid helps to remove excess oil from deep within the pores. Additionally hyaluronic acid adds an extra moisture boost since oily skin also needs hydration.

Now that you know what ingredients to look for, it’s time to consider the type of cleanser formulation you need. People with oily prone skin should use either a foaming cleanser or a gel cleanser. These options will ensure that excess dirt and oil is being adequately removed from the skin.
