Oily Skin

NEW TO MALE GROOMING? OR JUST WANT MORE INFORMATION ON BATHROOM CABINET ESSENTIALS? HERE'S OUR LIFESTYLE AND GROOMING EDITOR LEE KYNASTON'S GUIDE TO SKINCARE BASICS.

Mattify oily skin without over-drying.

Skin type: Oily.

Characterised by: Oiliness, blemishes and shiny patches.

Routine: Avoid using harsh soaps as these will just strip the skin of it’s oil, prompting your sebaceous glands to produce even more to compensate. Use a face cleanser instead but avoid rubbing your face too hard with towels or using hot water as both can stimulate oil production. Moisturise daily with a water-based moisturiser and treat oily patches with a mattifying product.

Use: Polaar Shine Control Face Cleanser. A soap-free, non-foaming facial cleanser this is specially designed to combat oily skin, without leaving skin dry.
