Excess sebum can be a real problem for oily skin. It can cause acne, blackheads, and a greasy appearance.

But do not worry ! There are lots of things you can do to control excess oil and achieve a clearer, healthier complexion.

Washing your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser can help remove excess oil, dirt, and bacteria. Avoid using hot water, as it can strip your skin's natural oils.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating once or twice a week can help remove dead skin cells that can clog pores and contribute to excess oil. Here is our article on the skin to see more clearly .

Use oil-free products

Choose skincare products labeled "oil-free" or "non-comedogenic," which means they won't clog pores.

Consult a dermatologist

If your excess oil is severe and unresponsive to over-the-counter treatments, consider seeing a dermatologist. They may prescribe stronger medications or recommend other treatments, such as light therapy or chemical peels.
