Oily Skin

The core principle of skincare for oily skin is "regulate, not suppress" – over-cleansing or over-degreasing can lead to compensatory overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands, creating a vicious cycle. The correct oily skin care routine involves gentle cleansing, followed by a toning lotion with regulating properties to stabilize the skin, a lightweight moisturizing serum to hydrate and lock in moisture, and finally, sunscreen. Herbs' Oil oily skin series aims to balance oil and water, helping the skin restore its natural oil regulation ability.

One of the common misconceptions in skincare is that oily skin doesn't need hydration. In fact, dehydration in oily skin is a common reason for overactive sebaceous glands. Choosing a lightweight, oil-free moisturizing serum for oily skin, such as a hydrating serum containing Vitamin B3 or hyaluronic acid, can effectively replenish moisture without adding greasiness, fundamentally helping to regulate sebum balance. Avoid serums containing mineral oil or heavy oils, as these can burden the pores.

When choosing skincare products for oily skin in summer, prioritize those that are refreshing, lightweight, and effective in regulating oil. It is recommended to select gel or jelly-textured moisturizers and toners that help balance skin conditions. For masks, a weekly deep cleansing mask can help unclog pores and reduce blockages. Herbs' Oil oily skin series offers summer skincare products with a refreshing texture, formulated to hydrate and control oil, making them suitable for daily use in Hong Kong's hot and humid climate.

The key to non-comedogenic skincare for oily skin is to avoid ingredients that may clog pores, such as mineral oil, paraffin, or overly rich cream textures. Priority should be given to natural ingredients with pore-regulating benefits, such as Vitamin B3, calendula extract, or aloe vera, and formulations should be lightweight, watery, or gel-based. Herbs' Oil's skincare line for oily skin is based on non-comedogenic formulas and transparent ingredients, allowing those with oily skin to care for their skin with peace of mind.

Face masks are excellent for oily skin, but choosing the right type is crucial. For oily skin, we recommend masks primarily formulated to regulate oil secretion, such as oil-control masks containing Vitamin B3, and hydrating repair masks for pore care. Avoid rich cream masks with mineral oil or thick emollients, as they can burden the pores. We suggest using a mask 1–2 times a week, combined with your daily skincare routine for optimal results.
