Oily skin can be tough to manage during the summer as the warmer weather increases oil production in the sebaceous glands. These glands produce sebum which is a combination of fats and dead skin cells. They are vital for maintaining healthy skin. However, the overproduction of sebum in the summer leads to oily skin. The t-zone is often the oiliest part of the face as there is a concentrated number of sebaceous glands. Sometimes, skin that’s usually a dry or combination type in the winter can become oily in the summer. This is due to the humidity and heat. Minimising your beauty routine and swapping to products formulated for oily skin will help manage the excess oil. Here is a selection of products ideal for controlling oily skin during the summer.

Cleansers

A cleanser that targets oily skin can significantly help with the shine oil leaves on the skin. The Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Oil-Reducing Cleanser works to reduce the shine without stripping the skin of its natural oils. This cleanser also helps to balance sebum production by decongesting the pores and soothing the skin. As well as notably reducing the look of oily skin, the Skin Balancing cleanser fights breakouts caused by excess oil. A second cleanser formulated for oily skin is the Ole Henriksen Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser. This cleanser works to considerably reduce the amount of excess oil on the skin by deeply cleansing the pores. Formulated with AHA’s, this cleanser loosens and removes dead skin cells without stripping the skin. Perfect for the summer, it will keep the skin looking fresh all day long.

Moisturisers

Moisturising may seem like the wrong thing to do with oily skin. However, ensuring the skin is properly hydrated is necessary to manage this skin type. When choosing a moisturiser suitable for oily skin, it is always best to look for oil-free on the label. As well as this, it is a good idea to look for non-comedogenic and lightweight formulas as they won’t clog up your pores. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream helps to keep the shine away all day long. With its cooling effect, it is ideal for hotter days. Fast absorbing, this oil-free moisturiser ensures the skin is hydrated and refreshed. Another moisturiser that is great for keeping oily skin at bay is the Kate Somerville Oil-Free Moisturiser. Specifically formulated for oily skin, this moisturiser is light on the skin. It is a great option to use under makeup as it absorbs excess oil to create a matte look.

Makeup

Finding makeup for oily skin, especially in the summer months, can be particularly challenging. It’s important to pick the correct base for your makeup to ensure your makeup stays put. Therefore, it is best to choose an oil-free foundation such as the Clinique Stay-Matte Oil-Free Foundation. Controlling oily skin, this foundation will keep the skin matte, even during the hottest of days. With its lightweight texture, it feels comfortable on the skin and looks incredible throughout the day. Setting spray is essential for oily skin as it creates a barrier against shine emerging. A great product to keep your makeup looking flawless is the Cover FX Mattifying Setting Spray. This spray is a must for oily skin as it works to remove surface oils, controlling the shine. The setting spray also reduces the appearance of the pores, keeping the skin matte.

Blotting papers are perfect for on the go this summer. Made with super absorbent materials means the blotting papers soak up the excess oil on the skin. Ideal for a quick fix, they are a great beauty tool to keep in your handbag. The Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Blotting Papers are faultless for removing excess oil on top of makeup. These blotting papers will leave the makeup looking untouched and matte. Portable and compact, they come with a mirror making it the best product to manage oily skin throughout the day.

Switching up your beauty routine as we head into the warmer months will help to keep oily skin under control this summer.
