Morning Skincare Routines: How to Combat Oily Skin For A Fresh Start

A new beginning for oily skin includes a morning regimen that eliminates overnight accumulation, controls sebum production and maintains a matte complexion all day long without drying out the skin.

To get rid of oil without making your skin feel squeaky clean, which might encourage more oil production, use a gel or foaming cleanser.

To unclog pores, look for salicylic acid or niacinamide, to regulate oil production. Use an alcohol free toner with witch hazel or niacinamide to balance pH and minimize the appearance of pores.

Use a light, water based serum with niacinamide or vitamin C to control sebum production and give antioxidant defense.

Start by drinking warm lemon water with honey, cucumber water, or amla juice to detoxify and replenish your vitamin C levels. (Disclaimer: Given the input is on an information basis, please seek professional advice.)
