Summary of The ULTIMATE Oily Skin Routine | Doctorly Routines

Key Strategies for Oily Skin Care Routine

• Understanding Oily Skin Causes
  • Oily skin is primarily caused by sebaceous glands producing excess oil due to genetics and hormonal influences.
  • Oil serves a protective function for the skin, but excessive production can lead to acne.
• Categories of Ingredients
  • Inhibit Oil Production
    • Retinoids
    • Green tea
    • Niacinamide
    • Azelaic acid
  • Remove Oil from Skin
    • Salicylic acid (oil-soluble exfoliant)
    • Lipohydroxy acid
    • Clay masks (e.g., bentonite clay)
  • Absorb Oil
    • Silica
    • Perlite (often found in mattifying moisturizers)
• Building a Basic Skincare Routine
  • Cleansing
    • Use foaming cleansers or those containing salicylic acid.
    • Recommended products: CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cleanser.
  • Treatment
    • Incorporate a toner (e.g., Isn’t Tree Green Tea Fresh Toner).
    • Use retinol at night for oil control.
  • Moisturizing
    • Select lightweight, oil-controlling moisturizers (e.g., La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Matte Moisturizer, Cetaphil Mattifying Acne Moisturizer).
  • Sun Protection
    • Choose mattifying sunscreens that suit oily skin (e.g., Isn’t Tree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel, Cetaphil Pro Oil Control Sunscreen).
• Routine Structure
  • Night Routine: Cleanser → Toner → Retinol → Moisturizer.
  • Morning Routine: Cleanser → Toner → Optional Niacinamide treatment → Sunscreen.
• Personalization
  • Start with a basic routine and gradually personalize it based on individual skin needs.
