SKINCARE GUIDE FOR MEN WITH OILY SKIN - DAILY ROUTINE AND PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS

Dealing with oily skin can be frustrating, but it’s something that many men experience. The good news? With the right skincare routine, you can control excess oil, keep your skin looking fresh and even prevent breakouts. The key is finding a balance—keeping your skin clean and hydrated without triggering even more oil production.

Read on as we walk you through a simple, effective routine tailored specifically for men with oily skin, with a few carefully chosen product suggestions to make things easier.

What is Oily skin?

Oily skin is primarily caused by overactive sebaceous glands, which produce excess sebum—a natural oil your skin produces to keep itself moisturised. However, when too much oil is produced, it can lead to clogged pores, breakouts and a greasy-looking face. While genetics play a role in determining your skin type, environmental factors like humidity, diet and stress can exacerbate oil production.

Daily Skincare Routine for Oily Skin

A consistent daily skincare routine is essential for controlling oily skin. Follow these steps that will guide you in building this routine; 

Step 1- Cleanse Twice Daily

A good cleanser will help remove excess oil, dirt and impurities without stripping the skin’s natural moisture. Cleanse your face twice a day—once in the morning and once before bed—to prevent build-up and maintain a fresh, clean complexion.

Try the Barbology London’s Vegan Men’s Hair & Beard Shampoo which is suitable for all skin types including oily skin. Its tea tree oil-rich formula helps clean both your skin and facial hair of excess oils, dirt and impurities, 

Step 2 - Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliating 2-3 times a week helps remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. This step is especially important for oily skin, as it prevents breakouts and improves skin texture. Avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate the skin and instead opt for more gentle exfoliating products.

Step 3 -  Apply a Toner

Toning helps to tighten pores and balance oil production. After cleansing consider integrating a toner into your routine which can reduce the appearance of shiny skin and minimise the likelihood of breakouts by balancing the skin's pH levels.

Step 4 - Moisturise—Yes, Even Oily Skin Needs It!

Skipping moisturiser can actually cause your skin to produce more oil to compensate for the dryness. Choose a lightweight moisturiser that hydrates without adding extra shine. Consider Barbology London’s Vegan Men’s Face Moisturiser & Beard Conditioner for this step which is designed to keep skin soft and hydrated without feeling greasy

Step 5 -  Beard Care 

If you have a beard, it's important to keep the skin beneath it healthy. Oily skin can cause irritation and even beard dandruff. Make sure to use products that cleanse and nourish both the beard and the skin underneath without clogging pores. Barbology London’s Vegan Beard and Face Oil is an ideal option for this step. It absorbs quickly, leaving your skin and beard soft and conditioned without adding unwanted greasiness.

Consistency is key when it comes to managing oily skin. By following these steps daily and using products that suit your skin type, you can achieve a healthier complexion that looks great throughout the day.
