Oil is essential and naturally produced by our skin. But some people produce excess oils, creating a shiny layer over the skin that can cause clogged pores and acne. To help with naturally oily skin, stay away from oil-based products and switch to water-based/oil-free products that help prevent clogged pores. Salicylic acid is an essential ingredient for oily skin as it helps combat breakouts and acne-prone skin.
Natural Ingredients that help oily skin
1. Tea Tree Oil
- a gentle astringent, filled with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, that helps with germs, fungus, and bacteria.
2. Honey
- an ancient remedy known for its antibacterial agents that helps reduce excess oil and clear pores. It also has natural antiseptic properties that can help acne-prone skin.

Skin Care
Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturize
