Expert Answers: The Most Frequently Asked Questions About Oily Skin – by Elvis Beauty
Struggling with oily skin that feels greasy by noon, causes frequent breakouts, or ruins your makeup? You’re not alone. Oily skin is a common concern, especially in humid climates like India. But with the right care and understanding, oily skin can become your best asset.
At Elvis Beauty, we believe that every skin type—oily, dry, or combination—deserves gentle, effective care. Below, our skincare experts answer the most frequently asked questions about oily skin to help you build a routine that works.
💡 What causes oily skin?
Oily skin is caused by overactive sebaceous glands that produce excess sebum (oil). While sebum is essential for maintaining healthy skin, too much of it can clog pores, cause acne, and lead to shiny skin.
- Genetics
- Hormonal changes (puberty, menstruation, pregnancy)
- Over-washing or using harsh cleansers
- Humidity and heat
- Poor skincare choices
Tip: Avoid alcohol-based toners or foaming cleansers with sulfates that strip your skin’s natural barrier.
🧴 How should I cleanse oily skin?
Use a sulfate-free cleanser that gently removes dirt and excess oil without over-drying your skin. Cleanse twice daily—no more, no less.
✨ Recommended: Elvis Goat Milk Soap – A gentle cleanser packed with natural goodness to keep your skin clean, soft, and hydrated.
🌟 Do I still need a moisturizer if I have oily skin?
Yes! Skipping moisturizer can actually make your skin more oily. When your skin is dehydrated, it produces more oil to compensate. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) formula.
💧 Try this: Elvis Face Brightening Night Cream – A non-greasy night moisturizer that repairs and balances oil production while you sleep.
🔍 What ingredients should I avoid if I have oily skin?
Avoid:
- Heavy oils like coconut oil and mineral oil
- Alcohol-based toners
- Fragrances and artificial dyes
- Petroleum jelly
Instead, look for products with:
- Niacinamide
- Salicylic Acid
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Aloe Vera
✨ Our Pick: Elvis Face Cream 35g – Fast-absorbing and formulated for oily/combination skin types.
💧 Can oily skin be dehydrated?
Yes. Dehydrated oily skin feels greasy but tight, flaky, or rough. This often happens if you’re using drying ingredients or skipping moisturizer altogether.
Solution: Use a hydrating serum followed by a gel-based moisturizer to lock in water without adding extra oil.
💡 Pair this routine with Elvis Brightening Night Cream for night repair and glow.
😓 Why does my face become oily so quickly?
Common reasons include:
- Over-cleansing
- Skipping moisturizer
- Using the wrong products
- Hormonal imbalance
Fix: Rebalance your skin with hydrating, non-stripping skincare. Always follow up cleansing with a moisturizer and sunscreen.
☀️ What kind of sunscreen is best for oily skin?
Choose:
- Oil-free formulas
- Matte finish or gel-based sunscreens
- SPF 30 or higher
- Non-comedogenic and fragrance-free
