I’ve lived my life dealing with oily skin (and acne prone skin, but we’ll get to thank next week). During my teenage years, it was downright embarrassing as people would joke that they could see their reflection in my forehead. Yup. Kids are cruel. I had NO clue how to navigate it all as a teenager. I even *cringe* would lather Mary Kay Oil Mattifier all over my face every morning before school (I know better now than to ever use their products) and carry around those little oil blotting sheets with me all day for touchups.
Gone are those day. (Insert sigh of relief.)
Instead of actually working to solve the problem, I was putting bandaids over the problem every single day and I didn’t learn until adulthood how to actually rectify the issue.

The Best Products For Oily Skin
If you only take away two things from reading this post about the best products for oily skin, let it be this: ALWAYS choose clean beauty products and the easiest way to fight oily skin is with moisture.
If you are new to clean beauty, check out this post here to get started and this post to share my super easy way to transition your beauty products to clean ones without breaking the bank.
First, what causes oily skin?
There are so many answers to this question. Genetics, enlarged pores, and sometimes even where you live and the time of years can impact people’s skin in different ways. However, the culprit in most cases boils down to:
- Using the wrong products
- Skipping moisture (Ahem: see above)
- Overdoing your beauty routine – keep it simple!
Here are my favorite products for oily skin:
1. The Countercontrol Collection
