​Evening skincare routine for oily skin

By: Clara Smart

During the day skin gathers dust and dirt, which means special care must be taken at night.  Skin must become free from dirt and debris,  keeping the skin's pores as clean as possible. There is no woman that doesn’t want to have flawless and beautiful skin. It’s perhaps the first thing we want to have in our appearance. Like any other skin type, oily skin also requires a nightly skincare routine in order to look fresher, healthier and shinier. Whatever you do for your skin, here is a great evening skincare routine to consider for oily skin. The evening is actually the best time for relaxation and face masks. It’s the best time to remove heavy makeup as well to pamper your skin. So, let’s start from the basic solutions.

Facial cleansing

Whatever you choose as a first step to refresh your skin, any skin care routine begins with facial cleansing. No matter your skin type, it’s important to have the right cleansing routine for everyday use. Never believe in the myth that oily skin doesn’t require cleansing or moisturizer. You can use oil-free cleansing products if your skin is oily. It’s the first step you are supposed to follow. Opt for the right face wash, facial cleanser, cleansing milk or any other cleansing product.

Toning
​
Once you are done with the proper facial cleansing your second step is toning. Toner gives you the opportunity to maintain the skin’s pH balance which is another very important step in improving your skin's texture and remiving dirt. You can do it after removing makeup too.

Night cream
​
There are night creams for all skin types which means that, which means that you do have the ability  to apply night cream on your face before sleeping. However, this doesn’t mean that you should use any cream you like. The right chosen night cream can repair your skin, making it smoother and shinier in the morning. The thing about oily skin, one must choose the cream that has rather refreshing than moisturizing components and effects.

​

Under eye cream
​
Don’t forget about under eye creams as they make your skin wrinkle-free and help you to get rid of  unpleasant dark circles. Apply under eye creams at night to obtain the best result. Many types of creams work better at night than during the day and eye creams are one of them. When your eyes look fresher and younger your entire face starts to shine more beautifully. ​

For oily skin, the acne treatments applied at night can work for a good 7-8 hours, particularly if using a high quality night cream for oily acne prone skin. So, it’s quite important to have your own night-time skin care routine. Focus on anti-acne products that are mostly photosensitive and therefore need to be used at night. In case you have oily, yet problematic skin it's best to refer to a dermatologist to pick up the right products. The use of the wrong products at night can damage your skin and might make it even worse. ​ Also,  try to stick with nourishing organic/natural products to help keep skin free from toxins.
