How to take care of oily skin in summer naturally
Summers are here, and so is the humid weather. If you have oily skin, you know what it means.
Sebaceous glands get hyperactive in hot and humid weather. With more oil, sweat, and debris, things can get worse for oily skin quickly. However, you don’t have to worry.
Today’s article is all about oily skin issues, their possible causes, and of course, the solutions. But before diving into them, let’s first understand why your oily skin gets oilier in summers.
What Are Sebaceous Glands?
Just beneath our pores, are glands present that produce sebum to keep the skin from overdrying. But in summers, our body temperature rises, causing these glands to produce more sebum, and thus, you get oily skin.
It is important to keep in mind that sebum itself keeps your skin from getting dry, wrinkled, and stretched. However, excess sebum is a root cause of many skin problems. This is why sebum control must be an essential part of your skincare routine.
Acne & Breakout
One of the most common issues that people with oily skin face, is acne. The bacteria that cause acne loves greasy and oily skin and thus it lingers on oily skin for longer.
To prevent that, start with a face wash containing salicylic acid. Cleansing is the most important step in any skincare routine, so never skip that. After cleansing, use water or gel-based moisturizer for oily skin.

Dull And Greasy Skin
With excess oil accumulation, your skin can appear dull, lifeless, and tired. To counter that, you need to minimize your pores and control sebum.
A good quality toner is what you need. Make sure you are using a toner for oily skin. Toners with aloe vera, tea tree oil, and watermelon extracts are known to control sebum and shrink pores. They also help in fading away acne scars.
Blackheads And Whiteheads
If you’ve been a victim, you know how irritating these can be.
What exactly is a blackhead? Well, when a pore gets blocked because of oil, residue, dirt, or makeup, its tip gets oxidized and you get a blackhead. You get whiteheads when a pore is blocked with dead skin cells, hence the white color. The solution to both, is, however, the same, exfoliation!
Exfoliating pores is essential to prevent blackheads and whiteheads. Exfoliants with benzoyl peroxide and mendalec acid are great for oily and combination skin. You can use these chemical exfoliants once or twice a week or as per your dermatologist’s recommendation.
Or you can also try our VI chemical peel at an unbelievable price. Administered by our expert aestheticians, these peels gently exfoliate your skin and help you get rid of acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and scars.
