Oily skin often feels shiny, especially in the T-zone, and can have visible pores, breakouts, or become easily clogged. Here's a guide to the signs and causes of oily skin and how a balancing, lightly moisturizing skincare routine can preserve the skin barrier and reduce sebum production.
Routine for oily skin that is prone to pimples and clogged pores.
1,468 SEKOily skin often feels shiny, especially in the T-zone, and may have visible pores or be prone to breakouts and clogged pores. This is because the skin produces more sebum than it needs. Oily skin may need help retaining moisture without clogging or feeling heavy. Proper skin care is therefore not about reducing oil, but about balancing sebum production and strengthening the skin barrier.
Oily skin benefits from a gentle cleanser that dissolves excess sebum without drying out. A light, hydrating face cream helps skin retain moisture and balance sebum production. Use a concentrate that balances sebum production and helps reduce shine and unclog pores.

The most important thing is not to overtreat the skin. Aggressive cleansing and drying products can disrupt the skin's natural balance. Cleanse your skin in the evening with a mild facial cleanser and follow with a light concentrate like Tribiotic Concentrate, which supports the skin's microbiome and skin barrier. Finish with a light moisturising face cream. When the UV index is above 2, sun protection is an important last step in your morning routine. The goal is to balance the skin, not to remove all natural glow.

The T-zone, meaning the forehead, nose, and chin, has more sebaceous glands than the rest of the face. Therefore, these areas often become oilier and shinier. If only the T-zone is shiny while the cheeks are normal or dry, you likely have combination skin rather than oily skin.
