If in the morning when you wake up it seems that you have put your face in a pan with oil or if you are almost freshly made up and you already have to use the loose powder to mattify some areas of your face due to excess shine, it is more than likely that your skin is oily.
El excess shine, enlarged pores, sporadic or more frequent pimples, are just some of the many characteristics of this type of skin. We are not going to deceive you: Fighting oily skin is by no means an easy job, but it is not all bad news, since oily skin takes longer to wrinkle. It may not be a comfort, but over the years, having fewer wrinkles comes in handy.

If you have this problem and you do not know how to stop it or you just want to finally find a facial routine that helps you with your oily skin, keep reading this article, you will most likely be interested in what we tell you about it.
Daily routine for oily skin
Let's see below the steps you can follow on a daily basis if you want your oily skin to stabilize and look healthy:
- First step par excellence: Skin cleansing. A good cleaning will give our skin luminosity and, most importantly, in oily skin, it will leave it clean and shine-free. For this type of skin it is essential to look for a cleanser with some exfoliation for daily cleansing. These products contain microparticles that what they do is exfoliate our skin in a gentle and delicate way. Oily skin, in general, tends to have a lot of blackheads and a little more roughness, so having a cleanser that exfoliates daily is very important. Another important point that helps us both for this step and for the following ones, is to get products non-comedogenic. These types of cosmetics do not clog our pores and let them breathe, which is great to avoid acne and grains. The product that we dedicate to this step must be applied by massaging the face in circles and placing greater emphasis on those rough areas. At the end of the cleaning we should notice the fresh and smooth skin.
- The second step in this routine is to use a good tonic. The toner will help to calm those more sensitive areas of the skin that have been somewhat "damaged" after cleansing and to close or slightly minimize open pores that we have. In many treatments for oily skin from different cosmetic brands, the toner usually contains large amounts of alcohol. The usefulness of this component in these treatments is none other than to dry pimples and minimize excess sebum. It is effective but it can also over-dry our skin and damage it even more. It is for this reason that we advise you to buy an alcohol-free tonic or one that at least contains a small amount of this component. The toner will be applied with the help of a make-up remover disk in small strokes.
- The third step will be to use a eye contour for those women who need it. The eye contour will be applied to the lower bone of the eye, in minimal quantities and will be spread in small touches, going up to the upper bone but without touching the eyelid.
- The fourth and final step will be hydrate and regulate excess fat of our skin. Many people tend to confuse an oily face with a hydrated face, and therefore ignore this last step. From Bezzia We advise you and almost impose that you use a good moisturizing cream even if you have oily skin. There are moisturizing and regulating gels that are not heavy at all and have a very light texture and comfortable for this type of skin. We should look for a light, oil-free moisturizer so as not to add more fat, not comedogenic as we said before and that leaves us feeling fresh and comfortable after using it.
These are the 4 simple steps that you should take every day if you want to have healthier skin with a much more beautiful appearance. You must not forget that this routine should be done both in the morning and at night and that weekly we must apply a Scrub slightly thicker than our daily cleanser to remove dead cells and cleanse more thoroughly. It is also advisable that you apply once a week a clay mask if your skin is oily. The clay removes grease very well and leaves the skin very clean in depth.
