Professional-grade men’s skin care for oily skin

Believe it or not, men and women have considerably different skin. Men’s skin contains more collagen and has larger sebaceous glands, making it appear thicker, firmer and oilier. Not all men have oily skin, but if your skin often appears greasy or shiny, you may want to consider a men’s skin care routine for oily skin.

Oily skin in men occurs as a result of an overproduction of sebum, which is skin’s natural moisturizer. This can happen as a result of genetics, diet, certain disorders or in some cases, a higher level of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). All can lead to excess oil, enlarged or clogged pores and even breakouts. Choosing proven men’s skin care products for oily skin and sticking to a regimen that works can help keep oiliness in check.

Tips for men’s oily skin regimen

An effective regimen for men with oily skin doesn’t have to be overly complex, but should include a few key steps:

• Choose an exfoliating face wash ideal for men with oily skin
• Add a toner or mask treatment as needed to your men’s skin care routine for oily skin
• Use a moisturizer specifically formulated for men’s oily skin

What is the best face wash for men with oily skin?

Contrary to what you may think, over-washing or using a stripping face wash isn’t an oily complexion’s best choice. While this may temporarily dry out excess oil, it can cause skin to kick into oil-producing overdrive and exacerbate the problem long-term. The best face wash for men with oily skin should balance out oil production and leave skin comfortable and hydrated. LovelySkin LUXE Clarifying Gel Cleanser is a great choice for men’s oily skin because it contains 2% salicylic acid, 2% glycolic acid and 3% afaLUXE™ to exfoliate and wash away excess oil, dead skin cells and other impurities. The best part is that it also works with skin’s moisture barrier to keep skin comfortable and hydrated.

How do I incorporate a toner or mask into a men’s skin care routine for oily skin?

A toner formulated with specific ingredients like witch hazel or salicylic acid can help men’s skin on its extra oily days. Both SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner and PCA SKIN Smoothing Toner are well-formulated choices that work to reduce oil and prevent breakouts without over-drying skin.

An oil-absorbing and detoxifying mask can be a once a week treatment or as an effective as-needed step in a men’s skin care routine for oily skin. We recommend looking for masks formulated with ingredients like charcoal, kaolin and bentonite clays to absorb excess oil and shrink the appearance of pores for smoother-looking skin. The Dermaologica Active Clearing Sebum Clearing Mask can be used up to three times per week to clear pore congestion and detoxify skin, while also minimizing signs of aging like fine lines.

Which type of moisturizer is best for men with oily skin?

Yes, even men with oily skin need to moisturize daily to keep skin at a healthy state. However, the best moisturizers for men’s oily skin should be non-comedogenic and use lightweight, hydrating ingredients to moisturize and balance skin. The LovelySkin LUXE Mattifying Antioxidant Moisturizer reduces shine and balances oil with clarifying ingredients, while afaLUXE™, a dermatologist-developed molecule, supports a healthy moisture barrier.

Pro Tip: Don’t skip the sunscreen! If you want to simplify your oily skin care routine for men and combine a few steps, the Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20 provides both lightweight moisture and prevents sun damage with broad-spectrum sunscreen ingredients.
