I am 18 years old boy. I have oily skin type. What skincare routine should I follow? Currently I follow facewash, toning,serum and sunscreen. Also could I apply venusia max cream on my face?

1. Wash face regularly --washing regularly can reduce the amount of oil on the skin. Wash with a gentle soap and warm water 2. Use a toner--astringent toners that contain alcohol tend to dry out the skin. U should test out any new toner on a small patch of skin to avoid potential irritation. 3. Pat the face dry--when drying the face after washing and using toner, people should gently pat their skin dry with a soft towel. This should be done with care, however. Pulling down on the skin with a towel, or using a rough washcloth, is not advised, as it may stimulate the skin to create more sebum. 4. Use blotting papers-- blotting papers will not treat the sebum production in the skin, but they can be used to lift excess oil off the skin throughout the day to make it appear less shiny. 5. You can apply aloe vera juice/gel from its leaf (fresh), not from ready made gels available in market. Remove skin of an aloe vera leaf. Take /scoop out gel. Apply this gel to your skin. Wash with plain water after an hour. Also stay hydrated, avoid greasy foods and trans fats, and to eat a well-rounded diet full of whole foods.

Hii, For Oily skin type you should use the following: 1. Any good Glycolic acid/ salicylic acid based facewash. If it's very oily, you can use foam based facewash, otherwise facewash gels are good for you. Wash your face twice daily using this. When you have a good facewash, you generally donot require a toner. 2. GEL based moisturizers, see that your moisturizer is non comedogenic / oil-free/ does not clog pores. These are usually mentioned on the moisturizers. Avoid any thick creams as it would clog your pores, make your face more oily. Apply such moisturizer after every facewash. 3. Sunprotection. Use any GEL Based sunscreen for oily face with SPF 30 +. Apply 30 min before sun exposure, 2-3 hrly thereafter. Wear a sunscreen even when staying indoors as UV light from screens and lapotops too has been shown to affect your skin. This is a simplified, basic skincare routine for Oily skin. Hope it helps.
