Every skin type comes with its own set of blessings and challenges, and oily skin is no exception. We’re here to help you embrace the skin you're in, even if it tends to get a little extra shiny.
Most people with oily skin already know its disadvantages: clogged pores, breakouts, and a greasy texture. But you may not know that oily skin has its own advantages. Your skin needs oils to maintain its natural moisture and glow, and oily skin types may experience fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
Get ready to celebrate and work with the skin type you have, because we’ll empower you to rock your beautiful skin!

Oh, the struggle is real when it comes to finding makeup that can withstand the oily skin rollercoaster. It's like a race against time to prevent that dreaded slippy-slidey sensation that screams "retouch, stat!"
Fear not—we've got some tricks up our sleeve to help you keep the oil at bay and maintain a fresh look all day long.
1. Get a gentle foaming cleaner. If your skin gets too dry, it will overcompensate and create even more oil. We don’t want that! So make sure to choose a gentle cleanser to pamper your skin.
2.Use oil-free, non-comedogenic makeup to keep your look feeling fresh way longer.
3. Always have oil blotting papers within arm’s reach for quick touch-ups. Unlike using extra powder, blotting papers won't leave you feeling like you're wearing a cake on your face.
Hack alert: Those toilet seat covers you find in public restrooms work like a charm to absorb excess oil when you’re out and about!
Treat your skin to a clay mask to help absorb excess oil. Try using a mask daily or even weekly, depending on what type of mask you use.

Everyone’s got pores! But if you have oily skin, you may notice them more; oily skin often goes hand in hand with larger pores. While it's impossible to bid pores farewell completely, we can certainly minimize their appearance.

Moisturizer and oily skin may seem like an odd couple, but they can work together harmoniously.
The key is to choose a product that won't suffocate your skin or send it into oil production overdrive. Experts recommend you avoid thick moisturizers and creams, natural oils, alcohol-based products, silicones like dimethicone, and artificial dyes.
Non-comedogenic and lightweight moisturizers are your best friends here. For an extra boost of hydration, consider adding a facial serum to your routine.
A few pumps of nourishing serum can give your skin the love it needs without adding excess oil. Our Renew serum features squalane to balance oil production to help you avoid excessively oily skin
Our Refine serum is another amazing match for oily skin. Super ingredients like our glycolic acid, citric acid, and lactic acid blend gently exfoliate to help remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover to reveal brighter skin.
Oh, and don't forget the sunscreen! Look for a lightweight, oil-free sunscreen to avoid skin that feels greasier than a pizza slice.

When it comes to bumpy and congested skin, oily-skinned folks tend to be the stars of the show. Those pesky blackheads and whiteheads can really be a struggle.
To help your pores say goodbye to acne, try exfoliation. Regular exfoliation is vital, but make sure not to over-exfoliate. Too much exfoliation will make your oily skin overproduce oil, which can lead to more breakouts.
Microdermabrasion is a gentler alternative. Show those whiteheads and blackheads who's boss!

Ah, acne, our old friend. While acne is not exclusive to oily skin, extra oil production does make oily skin more prone to breakouts. Try these tips to tackle acne head-on.
1. Say "no" to fried foods and unhealthy carbs, and say "yes" to a nourishing diet filled with fruits and veggies.
2. Add some antibacterial toners and salicylic acid into the mix. Antibacterial toner helps get rid of acne-causing bacteria, and salicylic acid helps to unclog pores that may turn into acne.
3. Use Vita’s microdermabrasion and pore extraction treatments to help minimize pores and oil production.
Remember, skin care is not only about what products you use. It’s also about getting familiar with the knowledge and tools to rock your skin type with confidence. Celebrate your skin and work with its challenges to get the glowiest, happiest skin you can have!
