One of the most frequently asked questions we receive from you is: "What do you recommend for combination or oily skin with rashes?"
To help you achieve healthy and balanced skin, we have prepared a simple and effective skincare routine using The Ordinary products for you. This routine is designed specifically for those struggling with oily and problematic skin.
Step 1 - Cleansing
The first step in any skincare routine is thorough cleansing. Use squalane cleanser /suitable for all skin types/. Available in 50ml and 150ml versions.
Step 2 - Exfoliation
Exfoliation is key to maintaining clean and radiant skin. 2-3 times a week, exfoliate using glycolic acid /Glycolic Acid/, which also contains amino acids! /recommended for evening use/ or another acid - AHA/BHA - a 10-minute exfoliating serum for deep skin peeling. If you also have sensitive skin, we recommend gentler acids - lactic or mandelic.
You can read more about exfoliation in our article where we cover it in depth here.
Step 3 - Active Ingredients
Next comes the application of active ingredients. Our favorite product is Niacinamide, which will take care of an even skin tone and reduce almost all skin imperfections.
Another great product is Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution - a salicylic acid solution for all skin types, including acne-prone skin, inflammatory processes and pigment spots. This lightweight formula removes dead skin cells that can contribute to pore clogging, ensuring skin clarity /recommended for local application to inflammatory processes/
Step 4 - Hydration
Even oily skin needs hydration! HA acid, which we would love to bathe in all day :) for skin hydration and a juicy look :)
Finally, a light moisturizing cream Natural Moisturizing Factors.
That's it ladies & gentlemen! This simple routine will help you keep your skin under control and minimize problems associated with oily skin.
