Skincare Products for Oily Skin

So many products marketed toward oily skin types will actually make the problems worse. Not only will many over-the-counter skin care products increase the oil production of your skin, they also contain harmful or toxic ingredients. 

So what do you look for to find products that will actually help slow down oil production without damaging your skin? Swiss Toniq offers a range of skin care products for oily skin made from organic, plant-based ingredients to help you restore the natural health of your skin. 

The Causes of Oily Skin

Oily skin is often the result of various factors that influence the production of sebum, the skin's natural oil. Understanding these common causes can help you manage your oily skin and find the right Swiss Toniq products for you.

Genetics

Genetics play a significant role in determining skin type, including oil production. If you have a family history of oily skin, you are more likely to experience excessive sebum production yourself.

Hormonal Changes

Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, can trigger an increase in sebum production. Hormonal imbalances can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, leading to oily skin and acne breakouts.

Overactive Sebaceous Glands

The sebaceous glands are responsible for producing sebum to moisturise and protect the skin. In some individuals, these glands may become overactive, producing an excess of oil that can leave the skin looking shiny and greasy.

Environmental Factors

Environmental factors such as hot and humid weather can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. Additionally, exposure to pollutants, dirt, and irritants can clog pores and exacerbate oily skin.

Skincare and Cosmetic Products

Certain skincare and cosmetic products, such as heavy moisturisers, oily foundations, and comedogenic creams, can clog pores and contribute to oily skin. It may seem counterintuitive, but using products that are made to dry out your skin can actually be too harsh and strip your skin of natural oils, causing it to produce more oil as it compensates for moisture loss and thus creating a vicious circle.

Dietary Factors

While diet alone doesn't directly cause oily skin, certain foods high in sugar and refined carbohydrates can trigger hormonal fluctuations that may exacerbate oil production. Additionally, dairy products and foods with a high glycemic index have been linked to an increase in acne and oily skin in some individuals.

Stress

Stress can have a significant impact on hormone levels, leading to an increase in cortisol, which in turn can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. Chronic stress can contribute to persistent oily skin and acne breakouts.

By recognizing the common causes of oily skin, you can implement effective strategies to manage excess oil production and maintain a balanced complexion. This may involve adopting a gentle and consistent skincare routine, using non-comedogenic and natural products like the cleansers and moisturisers from Swiss Toniq, managing stress levels, and addressing any underlying hormonal imbalances with the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Skin Care Products for Oily Skin

With oily skin it can be tempting to avoid many skincare products if you are worried about clogging pores or adding extra oils and hydration. Finding products designed for naturally oily skin is important to help you feel comfortable in your skin. Here are some effective, oil balancing and moisturising Swiss Toniq products.

Pure Organic Argan Face Oil

For balancing oily skin, argan oil is an excellent choice. However, argan oil is difficult to find in its pure cold pressed form. Most suppliers sell heated, diluted or modified versions which detract from its beneficial properties. At Swiss Toniq, our uncooked and unmodified argan oil is full of healing Vitamin E and fatty acids that help to protect, hydrate, and restore skin of any type. While designated for use at any age, argan oil can be a helpful tool for combating teenage acne or adult acne.

New Skin Moisturising Facial Polish Exfoliant

While exfoliating and clearing away skin flakes is an important step for anyone with dry skin, it is also crucial for those with oily skin types. Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, preventing the buildup of oil and debris. A couple times each week you should exfoliate after daily facial cleansing. Our Swiss Toniq Moisturising Facial Polish Exfoliant provides nutrient-rich oils that absorb into your skin after debris is gently removed. These ingredients help the skin begin to restore itself.

Moisturising Aloe Vera and Jasmine Cream Soap

To help decrease natural oil production, you will want to wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser specifically formulated for oily skin. Harsh or abrasive cleansers can damage your skin and pull away all of your natural oils. These harsh cleansers will trigger even more oil production. 

Our Moisturising Aloe Vera and Jasmine Cream Soap Bar is a gentle cleanser that will gently pull out dirt and debris while delivering essential vitamins and minerals to your skin’s surface.

Cellular Sun Defense Face Sunscreen 30 SPF

Swiss Toniq offers sunscreen that is 100% natural. Use daily to protect from harmful UV rays. Our sunscreen will not clog your pores, leading to more oil production. This cream is liquid-resistant, so you won’t need to be concerned about it coming off. This 30 SPF sunscreen not only prevents the sun from harming your skin, it also delivers healthy moisture.

The Swiss Toniq Difference

Living with oily skin may not feel convenient, but taking care of it doesn’t have to be complicated. Swiss Toniq skin care products for oily skin simplify your skin routine with natural, organic and effective plant-based ingredients. 

At Swiss Toniq, we don’t water down our serums or substitute the real thing with artificial substances. We use only raw, uncooked, unbleached, and natural ingredients to promote hydration, anti-ageing effects, and oil balancing skin restoration.
