Men's Oily Skin FAQs

Oily skin in men can be due to several factors including genetics, diet, stress, hormonal changes, and environmental factors. However, it's primarily caused by overactive sebaceous glands that produce excess oil.

If your face looks shiny or greasy a few hours after washing, or if you frequently have blackheads, pimples or other blemishes, you likely have oily skin. Also, if your pores appear larger, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), this is a common sign of oily skin.

Yes, look for oil-free and non-comedogenic products that won't clog your pores. Use a gentle cleanser specifically designed for oily skin, an alcohol-free toner, and a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. A salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide-based product can help control acne.

Men with oily skin should wash their face twice a day - in the morning and at night. Over-washing can strip the skin of its natural oils, causing it to produce more oil in response.

Yes, diet can contribute to oily skin. Foods high in sugar and fats can stimulate oil production. Incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins into your diet can help control oiliness.

Absolutely, even oily skin needs hydration. Choose a lightweight, oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated without making it greasy.

Shaving can sometimes cause irritation and increase oil production. Using a quality shaving cream or gel and a clean, sharp razor can help. Also, consider using an aftershave lotion that's designed for oily skin to hydrate and soothe the skin without adding excess oil.
