​Choose Oil-Free Moisturizers

For oily skin care, it's essential to prioritise hydration with oil-free moisturisers, especially during humid weather like monsoons. Look for lightweight formulations that won't clog pores or feel heavy on the skin, such as The Derma Co. 5% Propylene Oil-Free Moisturizer.

​Avoid Touching Your Face

Resist the urge to touch your face frequently, as this can transfer bacteria and oils from your hands to your skin, potentially causing breakouts.

​Exfoliate Regularly

Use a gentle exfoliator 2-3 times a week to slough off dead skin cells and prevent them from mixing with excess oil. Avoid harsh scrubs that can cause irritation and stimulate more oil production.

​Mask Treatments

Treat your skin to a purifying mask once or twice a week to deep-cleanse pores and control oil. Clay masks infused with ingredients like charcoal or tea tree oil are excellent choices for oily skin.

For oily skin care, apply sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days. Choose a non-comedogenic sunscreen like The Derma Co 1% Hyaluronic Sunscreen SPF 50. It protects us from UV rays and blue light, with a lightweight 'Aqua Gel' formula that hydrates without greasiness.

​Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush out toxins and keep your skin hydrated from within. Hydrated skin is less likely to overproduce oil.
