What Is The Best Way To Treat Oily Skin? Here's How.


Understanding Oily Skin: Causes, Routines, and Solutions - By Dr. Lazuk, Chief Dermatologist and CEO of Dr. Lazuk Esthetics ® | Cosmetics ®


As a dermatologist, one of the most common concerns my patients bring to me is oily skin. I often hear frustration about breakouts, a perpetually shiny face, and makeup that won’t stay put. If you’re struggling with oily skin, I want you to know you’re not alone—and more importantly, there are effective ways to manage it. Let me break this down for you: what causes oily skin, what you should and shouldn’t do, and when it’s time to seek professional help.


What Causes Oily Skin?

Oily skin occurs when your sebaceous glands produce more sebum than your skin needs. Sebum is the natural oil that hydrates and protects your skin, but when overproduced, it can lead to clogged pores, blackheads, acne, and an unwanted shine.

Some common triggers include:

  • Genetics: If your parents had oily skin, you’re more likely to have it too.

  • Hormonal changes: Puberty, pregnancy, and even stress can spike hormone levels, increasing sebum production.

  • Climate: Hot and humid conditions often exacerbate oiliness.

  • Skincare habits: Using harsh cleansers, skipping moisturizer, or over-washing can strip your skin and trigger an overproduction of oil.

Understanding these causes can help you make smarter choices for your skin.


Effective Routines and Treatments

Managing oily skin requires a balance between controlling shine and maintaining hydration. Here’s what I recommend:

Daily Routine

  1. Gentle Cleansing: Use a sulfate-free gel or foam cleanser twice daily—morning and night. Avoid over-cleansing as it can strip your skin, prompting it to produce even more oil.

  2. Toning: Incorporate a toner with salicylic acid or witch hazel to tighten pores and control excess oil.

  3. Lightweight Moisturizer: Yes, even oily skin needs hydration. Opt for an oil-free or gel-based moisturizer.

  4. Sunscreen: Use a non-comedogenic, matte-finish sunscreen every morning to protect against UV damage without clogging pores.


Weekly Routine

  1. Exfoliation: Gently exfoliate 1–2 times a week with a chemical exfoliant like glycolic or salicylic acid. This will help unclog pores and reduce buildup. Avoid harsh scrubs—they can irritate your skin and worsen oiliness.

  2. Masking: Use a clay or charcoal mask once a week to absorb excess oil and detoxify your skin.


Monthly Routine

  1. Professional Treatments: Consider a Hydrafacial or chemical peel to deeply cleanse and rejuvenate your skin. These treatments can also reduce the appearance of pores and improve texture.


What You Should Never Do

When it comes to managing oily skin, certain habits can do more harm than good:

  • Avoid Overwashing: Washing your face more than twice a day can dry out your skin, causing it to compensate by producing even more oil.

  • Skip Heavy Creams and Oils: These can clog your pores and exacerbate shine.

  • Don’t Forget Moisturizer: Skipping this step can leave your skin dehydrated, leading to overproduction of sebum.

  • Steer Clear of Alcohol-Based Products: While these may temporarily reduce oil, they can strip your skin barrier and trigger irritation.


When to See a Dermatologist

If your oily skin is causing persistent acne, blackheads, or enlarged pores that don’t improve with over-the-counter products, it’s time to seek professional advice. A dermatologist can recommend:

  • Prescription Treatments: These include retinoids, which regulate oil production and unclog pores.

  • Procedures: Laser therapy or microdermabrasion to target stubborn issues.

  • Customized Skincare Plans: Tailored to your specific needs and goals.


Quick Tips for Managing Oily Skin

To wrap things up, here are my go-to tips for keeping your skin balanced:

  • Daily: Use blotting papers to manage midday shine without disrupting your makeup.

  • Weekly: Rotate between a purifying mask and a hydrating mask for balance.

  • Monthly: Treat yourself to a professional-grade facial for deep cleansing.


Remember, oily skin isn’t something to be “fixed.” It’s a skin type that can be managed with the right care. With consistent effort, you can reduce shine, prevent breakouts, and enjoy a healthier complexion.
