The Best Facial Cleansers for Rescuing Oily Skin This Summer

 

Keeping your skin oil-free during summers can be an uphill task but can be tackled with the help of a skincare regimen especially dedicated to managing the sebum balance at every step. From using an apt cleanser to using the right kind of skin gel or serum for maintaining skin’s hydration level, one must ensure that no product worsens the condition of your oily skin. Sebum—a greasy fluid produced by the sebaceous gland—in combination with lipids forms a protective layer over the skin and aids in keeping it hydrated. It is skin’s way of naturally maintaining its overall health, but excessive sebum production causes a host of skin troubles.    

Accumulation of sebum on the epidermis often causes your complexion to appear dull, as the grease attracts dirt and pollution, just within a few minutes after your latest cleanse. It also clogs up pores, which in turn causes formation of blackheads and renders your skin vulnerable to breakouts. The increase in humidity and temperatures in summertime encourage the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum and hence, using an oil-control facial cleanser becomes even more imperative. So, check out these face washes specifically designed to control and balance sebum production of skin, while getting rid of all the impurities to help decongest it, and keep it fresher for long.
