How to choose the right cleanser for oily skin?

Before we reveal what you should look for in a cleanser if you have oily skin, it’s important to determine if you have this skin type. Each of us is born with a varying pattern of oil flow on the surface of our skin. Those with oily skin will find that they produce a greater volume of oil, while those with dry skin will notice they produce very little to the point their skin may feel tight and uncomfortable at times. Some individuals have oily and dry parts of the face and are classified as having combination skin types.

As a result of the various skin types and sensitivity levels within each skin type, the different cleansers at our Ultraceuticals range fill different functions. Once you’re sure that you have an oily skin type, the tips below can help you find the best cleanser for oily skin.

Go for gel cleansersif you have acne-prone skin

More often than not, oily skin and breakouts go hand in hand. For this reason, you may want to opt for a face cleanser for oily skin that can decongest clogged pores and neutralise acne-causing bacteria while at the same time remove excess oil. 

Use a foam cleanserif you have combination skin

If your oily skin is only limited to the T-zone, this type of cleanser is a good option. This product is also ideal if you have layers of makeup or sunscreen you need to remove before you go to bed. 

Consider using a clarifying mask

At Ultraceuticals, you can find purifying masks designed to reduce congestion and surface shine while at the same time purifying the skin. These products are massaged onto the face and neck two to three times a week and left for around ten minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. 

What are the benefits of using a cleanser regularly?

The right oily skin cleanser is an integral part of your daily skincare routine if you want to maintain smooth and glowing skin. To help you better understand its benefits, read the list below. 

Removes impurities

Removing the dirt, debris, and gunk on your face caused by pollution, makeup, etc., is the first and most important step to achieving clarified skin. 

Sloughs off dead skin cells

By buffing away dead skin cells, your skin appears radiant. Consider using cleansers with hydrating properties, which can help restore the natural moisture balance in your skin. At Ultraceuticals, we offer oily skin cleanser products that are infused with hydrating properties to keep your skin radiant and youthful.

Revitalises the skin

Massaging your face with a good facial cleanser can help rejuvenate your complexion and even relax your mind and relieve stress. 

Preps your skin for other products

By removing the excess oil and dirt on your face, any skincare product that you apply later on is easily absorbed by your skin. 

How to apply an oily skin cleanser?

Knowing how to use an oily skin cleanser is just as important as the product you choose. That being said, read the instructions on your facial cleanser before using it. But for general tips, check out our step-by-step guide stated below. 

Step 1

If you have long hair, tie your hair back to make it easy to wash your face, especially the pores along your hairline. 

Step 2

Wash your hands with soap and water before you start the actual cleansing process. You don’t want grime and impurities from dirty hands to end up on your face and neck. 

Step 3

Wet your skin with lukewarm water before you apply your chosen skin cleanser. Using hot water contributes to stripping away the natural oils that are good for your face, meaning your skin is less effective at retaining its natural moisture without them.

Step 4

Put a dime-sized amount of face wash for oily skin onto clean hands and apply the product to your face. Don’t forget to include your neck, jawline, and hairline. 

Step 5

Massage your face and neck in a circular motion with your fingertips; not only is this technique relaxing, but it’s also a great way to help unclog your pores.

Step 6

Rinse your face with lukewarm water, then use a soft towel to pat your skin dry; avoid rubbing your face vigorously as this could irritate your skin.

Step 7

Once your face and neck are clean, you may want to follow it up with some additional steps. For example, you can spray on a mist to further hydrate your skin before proceeding with your moisturiser. You can also use a purifying mask to complement your daily skincare regimen to remove excess oil and boost radiance.
