Collection: Oily and Combination Skin

These skincare products are specially formulated to benefit oily and combination skin. Oily skin is formed from the body overproducing the natural waxy protection oils called sebum, leading to oily skin, clogged pores and acne. Using the right skin products will help reduce that oily and shiny look.
What does oily skin look like?
The main characteristics of oily skin are usually a shiny complexion, less visible wrinkles and visible pores. Your make-up may wear off easier, and you often have breakouts.
What is the difference between oily and combination skin?
Oily skin has an overall shine and a tendency to break out on the cheeks and T-zone. Combination skin has an oily T-zone, but the cheeks are normal or dry.
Why do I have Oily Skin?
The causes of oily skin include genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. While you can't necessarily get rid of oily skin, you can take steps in your skincare regime to make your skin less oily and be beneficial to maintaining your skin's health and limiting long-term damage.
Does hot weather cause Oily Skin?
Where you live and the time of year can be a factor in oily skin. If you live in hot and humid climates, your skin is more likely to be oilier. While you may be unable to pick up and move away because of your oily skin, you can adjust your daily skincare routine. If you travel to a hot and humid climate, you will also need to adjust your skincare routine.
In hot weather, use the UpCircle Beauty Face Moisturiser with Vitamin E for your face.
Travel-sized skincare products are essential to avoid restrictions with travel liquids limits and if you only need the new products for a short period. See the Travel-size skincare range at BotaniVie and prepare yourself for that upcoming holiday or help someone special on their break and make the purchase for them.
Why Oily Skin needs moisturiser?
It's a myth that moisturisers cause oily skin. Some medications targeting oily skin can cause your skin to dry out, so you will need a good moisturiser to help your skin stay healthy. The most important factor to consider when choosing a moisturiser is selecting the right one for your skin type. Lightweight moisturisers work well for oily skin. Always make this your last step after cleansing and toning.
Also, look for 'oil-free' and 'non-comedogenic' to help keep your pores clear. To moisturise your face, we recommend the Silvan Skincare Balance Face Cream and UpCircle Beauty Face Moisturiser to balance your skin.
Does washing regularly help my skin?
To care for oily skin, you need to clear it of excess oil. You should wash your face in the morning, at night, and after exercise. Your cleanser should be non-comedogenic, non-irritating, and non-allergenic. The Beauty Balm Tea Tree Cleansing Balm is gentle and soothing.
Also, remember to exfoliate. Use gentle exfoliating wash several times a week. Doing this will help rid your skin of dead skin cells that can trap sebum. A great exfoliating Face Scrub is the UpCircle Beauty - Herbal Blend, and for body scrub, we recommend the UpCircle Beauty - Coffee Body Scrub with Lemongrass.
Will oily skin go away?
Unfortunately, not for everyone. Because our genes direct how we respond to hormone fluctuations, excess sebum production may be inherent to your skin and body processes. The best treatment is careful monitoring and using skincare products specially suited to oily skin.
Can Oily Skin cause Acne?
The short answer is no. While people with increased oil on their skin are more likely to have clogged pores, the oil itself is not the root cause of acne. Therefore, having oily skin does not necessarily mean you will have acne, and having dry skin does not necessarily mean you won't ever get breakouts.
