Winter Skincare Routine For Oily Skin (Step by Step)

Does Having Oily Skin Spare You From A Skincare Routine In Winters?

people have misunderstood oily skin to be a moisturised one and in fact, it is quite the opposite. The fact of the matter is that even those with oily skin can actually face dry skin and it is the result of excessive dryness that their skin produces more sebum making the skin look extra oily even in the dry weather.

In other words, the cold air will naturally strip your skin off its moisture and to counteract the feeling of dryness your oily skin will have its sebaceous glands kick into high gear, overproducing “oil” in a desperate attempt to keep your skin soft and supple. Therefore, in order to prevent this process, it is mandatory that people moisturise their skin, especially those with oily skin types.

Winter Skincare For Oily Skin:

Here’s what a person with oily skin type will need to do since moisturisers alone won’t make the cut.

Cleansing:

Cleansing is usually a step most dreaded in the winters however, since your skin is more oily than usual, you can dare wash your face more than once throughout the day. The cold weather will make you believe that your skin is perfectly fine and may not need a wash but the reality is that your skin is busy shedding cells and producing oils. Therefore, use a good cleanser before going to bed and after waking up to avoid excess sebum production and clean your face aptly.

Good Vibes Apple Cider Vinegar Foaming Face Wash can be used as a way to tackle oily skin and the harsh cold weather. The ACV regulates the pH balance in your skin reducing sebum production and also ensures that your face is not completely stripped off of moisture.

Use A Toner:

Again a step inevitably skipped from others routine is a step you have a privilege to follow. The astringent properties in toners can be quite drying to some which is why they are avoided in winters. But for those with an oily skin type, using toners is a way to minimise pores and get the impurities out of them, a step essential to you if your skin is producing more oil than normal.

And while toners are available in many varieties, you want to use one that is mild on your skin which is why you must try Good Vibes toners that are made from naturally derived products like honey, mulberry, pomegranate, avocado, etc that are not harsh on your skin and helps clean your face thoroughly.

Spot Treatments:

Winter doesn’t mean your acne will stop acting up. Therefore, you shouldn’t lower your guards either. So if you are prone to breakouts, your winter skincare routine for acne-prone skin mist contains serums and lotions that can curb it. In the morning, don’t forget to skip out on sunscreen and at night use products that have retinol in them to avoid the skin from breaking out too frequently.

To control the amount of sebum your face produces, you can also use the Good Vibes Tea Tree & Papaya Oil Control Serum that regulates oil production and fades acne marks. It is best suited for oily skin in winters since it also enhances the texture of your skin and speeds the production of youthful skin.

Moisturise:

So even though you might not have been used to moisturising your skin frequently in the winters, it is vitally important that you do so. In fact, it is recommended that you do so at least twice a day. However, with an oily skin type, you simply need to be more careful with the kind of moisturiser you are using.

A moisturiser that is heavily loaded with emollients like shea, coconut or cocoa butter might be too heavy for your skin type. And therefore, it is important that you use a moisturiser that is lightweight, free of oils and water-based. One such is the Good Vibes Tea Tree Oil Control Light Gel Creme that comes in a lightweight moisturising formula specially formulated to control excess sebum production and keep your skin hydrated and glowing.

If you have oily skin, the best solution to control the oil or frequent bouts of acne is to strictly adhere to a skincare routine. Especially in winters when the skin is so prone to climatic changes affecting the production of sebum. However, choosing the right products to maintain the above-mentioned regime can reduce oiliness in your skin and keep your skin clear and healthy.
