Wondering how to care for oily skin in a way that gives it all it needs without unintentionally triggering breakouts?
Here are some of the best products from Avinichi for doing exactly that:
For a Thorough Daily Cleanse: The Noni Clarifying Lather Purifier
A cleanser is one of the most important products for keeping oily skin under control. This is what you’ll be using to remove the excess oil that your skin produces each day. Skip a cleanse and all of that sebum will build up on your skin’s surface and will start to make its way into your pores, where blockages and acne breakouts won’t be far behind.
However, don’t go reaching for the most powerful cleanser that you can find. You still need to consider your skin’s natural protective barrier. Many cleansers interfere with barrier function, which only makes oily skin worse in the long run.
To preserve the integrity of this barrier, seek out a cleanser that doesn’t contain any barrier-damaging ingredients, just like the Noni Clarifying Lather Purifier from Avinichi. As you can tell from its name, this cleanser forms a beautiful lather. However, unlike other lathering cleansers, it doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients. Instead, it’s filled with a variety of peptides and botanical extracts, all of which will keep your skin feeling healthy.
It’s also worth mentioning that this cleanser can be safely used twice a day. This is important if you have oily skin as a once-daily cleanse won’t be enough. Use this formula in the mornings and evenings and you’ll be able to keep the appearance of clogged pores and breakouts to a minimum.
Keep Surface pH Balanced: The Noni Pore Purifying Toner
If you have oily skin, then you’ll be all too familiar with how easy it is for your skin to suddenly break out. It’s a common problem among those with oily skin due to all of that excess sebum often ending up stuck inside the pores.
Fortunately, there are a few things that you can do to help your skin feel less oily in the long run. One of these is to make sure that the pH level of your skin’s surface is balanced. When this is disrupted, oil production can increase and bacteria is much more likely to flourish, meaning that breakouts become much more prevalent. Research confirms this, showing that there’s a strong link between acne breakouts and an altered skin pH.
How can you keep your skin’s pH feeling balanced? This is where a good toner, like the Avinichi Noni Pore Purifying Toner, comes in. While this toner can be used on all skin types, it’s particularly beneficial to those with oily skin. Its oil-free formula hydrates the skin without weighing it down while the aloe vera, chamomile, and cucumber extracts work to soothe the feeling of inflammation, keeping the appearance of breakouts to a minimum. Better yet, it also contains witch hazel extract. This botanical has astringent properties, making it great for shrinking the look of enlarged pores. People with oily skin often struggle with dark and large pores, making this toner a must-have to keep the skin looking clear and pore-less.
Clear Out Clogged Pores: The Noni Polishing Peel
Of course, no matter how dedicated you may be to cleansing your skin twice a day, chances are that your pores will still end up clogged, or at least partly so. Although regular cleansing will minimize this, there’s no way to 100% prevent clogged pores. This is why a good exfoliator is essential – it’s the only way to efficiently clear out blockages that have started to form within your pores.
People with oily skin often struggle to choose between a mechanical or a chemical exfoliator. Both have their benefits. Mechanical exfoliation gets the job done quickly and effectively while chemical exfoliation tends to be slightly gentler and usually leaves the skin feeling exfoliated on a deeper level.
To save you from having to choose between the two, we created the Avinichi Noni Polishing Peel. This exfoliator makes use of both mechanical and chemical exfoliants. Bamboo powder physically sloughs away dead skin cells and excess sebum while mandelic acid dives further down to remove blockages from within the pores.
At the same time, we’ve also infused this peel with a number of antioxidants. Vitamin A, vitamin E, and two forms of vitamin C can be found in this exfoliator, along with a range of antioxidant-rich botanical extracts. As a result, not only will this formula exfoliate your skin but it will also leave it looking brighter and deeply rejuvenated.
De-Grease Your Complexion: The Phyto Remedy Thermal Mask
Exfoliation is a great way to remove excess oil and immediately brighten and clarify your complexion. Unfortunately, it can’t be done too often. If you have oily skin, the most you should be exfoliating is three times a week. Any more than this and you run the risk of damaging your skin barrier. This, as you know, could make your oiliness so much worse.
So, what should you do if your skin is starting to feel overly greasy in between exfoliation sessions? That’s where a clay mask can save the day. Clay is loved for how it absorbs excess sebum from the skin. It has been used for centuries to cleanse, detoxify, and mattify the complexion, and is an ingredient that is just as valid today.
With that said, modern-day clay masks are a step above those that were used by our ancestors, with the Avinichi Phyto Remedy Thermal Mask being a great example of this. This mask makes use of kaolin clay, which is known for being the mildest clay. It’s fantastic at removing excess oil but it does so without causing irritation or inflammation – this is key if you have oily skin! However, what sets this mask apart from the many other kaolin-based formulas out there is its thermal catalysts. These allow the mask to gently heat up when it’s massaged onto the skin, which leaves the pores feeling more elastic. This then means that the mask is able to do a much better job of drawing excess sebum out of the pores and away from the skin.
Repair the Appearance of Free Radical Damage: The Hydrating Antioxidant Serum
Antioxidants do so much for the skin, making them ingredients that should be utilized by all skin types. They’re the most effective way to counter the appearance of free radical damage, meaning that they’ll do everything from erasing the visibility of wrinkles to calming the feeling of inflammation.
Ideally, you should be giving your oily skin as many antioxidants as possible. Antioxidants work best when they’re combined with other antioxidants. Try to incorporate them into every stage of your skincare routine, which is easy to do if you’re using Avinichi products!
With that said, certain skincare products are known for containing a particularly high concentration of antioxidants, with the Hydrating Antioxidant Serum from the Avinichi Phyto Thermal Collection being one. This serum contains a long list of plant extracts, each one revered for its antioxidant content. Between hawthorn berries, lilac, and reishi mushroom, you’ll be giving your skin some truly incredible phytochemicals!
Better yet, this serum also contains a blend of peptides. Although peptides are most commonly known for how they smooth and firm the complexion to counter the look of aging, they’re also amazing at calming the feeling of inflammation, which oily skin is very susceptible to.
For Daily Moisture: The Mulberry Velvet Silk Creme
People with oily skin are often tempted to skip the moisturizer. Why? Because it’s so easy for moisturizers to make oily skin even greasier. Moisturizers are known for being relatively thick skincare products, which is the last thing that oily skin needs.
With that said, forgoing the moisturizer isn’t recommended either. Your skin, just like every other skin type, needs moisture in order to function properly. If your skin cells don’t receive enough moisture, they’ll respond by increasing oil production, leaving your skin even shinier in the long run.
The solution is to find a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that will hydrate your skin without weighing it down. This is where the Avinichi Mulberry Velvet Silk Creme, which can be found in our Mulberry Hydrating Regimen, comes out on top.
This moisturizer feels weightless yet it’s packed with hydrating ingredients that immediately quench and plump up the complexion. It also contains licorice root extract to even out the appearance of discoloration and acne marks while the numerous antioxidants will keep your skin cells feeling healthy.
Bump Up Hydration: The Noni Advanced Hydro-Gel Face & Eye Mask
As we’ve just mentioned, keeping oily skin well-hydrated is vital. You don’t want to give your skin a reason to start producing more oil, so never allow it to become dehydrated.
A solid daily skincare routine that contains some of the products featured above will help with this. However, it would also be a good idea to pamper your skin with some extra hydration every once in a while, which is something that the Noni Advanced Hydro-Gel Face & Eye Mask is very good at doing!
Not only is this mask incredibly hydrating, but it’s also filled with ingredients that counter the look of inflammation. Between lavender, aloe, collagen, and Irish sea moss, it will keep your skin feeling calm and balanced. This will help to prevent the appearance of acne breakouts. There are plenty of antioxidants in this formula too, which will leave your skin looking brighter and more radiant!
