The most effective cleansers for oily skin types will be formulated with gentle, non-drying surfactants that can efficiently cut through oil within the pore but won’t leave your skin tight, dry, or irritated.<\/p>\n
Take a look at the ingredient list, and steer clear of sneaky additions like sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate, and ammonium lauryl sulfate.<\/p>\n
As they’re known to produce a high lather and are drying and irritating and can disrupt the skin\u2019s protective barrier.<\/p>\n
If you dry out and strip your skin too much, it compromises the integrity of your skin barrier, and in turn stimulates even more oil production. Thus, a vicious and frustrating cycle can begin.<\/p>\n
When it comes to oily skin, many people are constantly trying to remove the oil, which in turn ends up stripping the skin.<\/p>\n
So many people are programmed to think they need to eliminate oil, but it often results in an adverse reaction.<\/p>\n
Especially since many oil-absorbing products are alcohol-based.<\/p>\n
When the skin is stripped of its oil barrier, it triggers a cascade of oil production since one of our skin’s primary jobs is to create sebum as a form of protection.<\/p>\n
So what to do when you have oily skin?<\/p>\n
If you’re set on using a cleansing oil, make sure you choose one with ingredients that are high quality and low on the comedogenic scale.<\/p>\n
And make sure to double- or triple-cleanse afterward!<\/p>\n
Or skip the cleansing oil altogether, and go straight for a cleanser that is hydrating enough to keep your skin balanced and happy but can effectively deep-clean your pores.<\/p>\n
