Oily skin is skin characterized by excessive sebum production and appears shiny and greasy , it is often impure , with an irregular texture and a dull complexion.
For oily skin we must choose dermo-purifying, delicate and sebum-balancing products.
Recognizing your skin type is the fundamental step in any beauty routine: understanding what your skin needs is the first step to taking the best care of it and obtaining visible results.
Let's now look in detail at the ten steps and our recommendations for eco-bio products for a skincare routine suitable for oily and impure skin.

Double facial cleansing
An initial cleansing and make-up removal with oil-based products and subsequent cleansing with water-based and foaming products
The first two steps are part of the mini-ritual of double cleansing : it is a deep and thorough cleansing , it removes residues of heavy makeup, aggressive external agents and is also perfect for removing sun filters.
The oil cleanser removes all the oil-based impurities such as make-up - even waterproof -, sunscreens, skin sebum and dirt from air pollution; the foaming cleanser instead eliminates other dry residues, for example dead skin cells and dust.
You first use the oil cleanser , an oil, or a solid or a balm, and massage it into your face, eyes and lips.
Rinse your face or use a dry cloth to remove any residue.
Now we move on to the aqueous phase : take the cream, gel or mousse cleanser, and after having foamed it on your hands, massage it on your face always with circular movements.
We recommend the Sebo Lift Soap Cream by Domus Olea Toscana It is an ideal cleanser for oily and combination skin.
Oily skin will benefit greatly from this double step to remove excess sebum.
Finally, rinse your face thoroughly with warm water.
Exfoliation
A fundamental step especially for the routine of oily skin: it revives the pores, controls excess sebum and deeply purifies the skin.
You can do it with a scrub through mechanical exfoliation or with a peeling and therefore with chemical but natural exfoliation . Even if we have oily skin we must not overdo it, this step should be done no more than once maximum twice a week.
Toning
In this routine the tonic, also called skin , must be rich in active ingredients and natural extracts . It must rebalance the skin's pH, be a tightening for oily skin and prepare it for hydration.
Domus Olea Toscana's Sebo Lift Mist Tonic is an anti-aging spray toner with an astringent action for combination, oily, acne-prone skin, with dilated pores or skin that tends to sweat.
Essences
Korean women consider the “essence step” the most important. What is essence? Let's say it's a cross between toner and serum! It hydrates, soothes and strengthens the skin.
The Lux Light Essence Radiance Effect Preparatory Serum by Eterea Cosmesi is a smooth texture that prepares the skin of the face for subsequent treatments.
Serums and boosters
With the serum or booster we get to the heart of the problem, which for oily skin is often that of rebalancing! The Sebo Lift Booster Serum by Domus Olea Toscana is a concentrated anti-aging serum, which offers hydration and highly penetrating functional substances for combination, oily, acne-prone skin, with dilated pores or tending to sweat.
Mask
The Korean mask is a mask preferably made of fabric. It is an extra treatment that you can do 1-2 times a week. In the case of oily skin, choose a purifying, detoxifying, sebum-regulating mask. Green clay -based masks are also excellent, with a strong sebum-regulating and purifying action.
Eye contour
The eye contour area is a delicate area that we must take very good care of . We apply the product by tapping it with our ring finger slowly until it has been absorbed.
Hydration
We have reached the hydration stage, with oily skin we opt for lighter creams and gels. In this way we will provide the skin with the right level of hydration, avoiding occluding it and seeing it ooze after a few hours from application, obtaining a greasy effect, especially on the T-zone. The sebum-lift face cream by Domus Olea Toscana is a rapidly absorbed cream that deeply hydrates the skin and contributes to the elimination of dead cells and the rebalancing of excess sebum.
Sunscreen or night nourishment
If it's morning skincare , always protect yourself, even in the city with sunscreen. This way you will avoid the damage of photoaging such as wrinkles and spots. On the market you can find many eco-bio sunscreens perfect even for oily skin, which are applied comfortably, do not leave residues and do not sweat. Not only creams, but also serums, boosters and primers with SPF, can be right for you!
If you are doing the routine in the evening then dedicate yourself to deep nourishment with a night mask. During the night the skin has a greater capacity to regenerate and absorb the treatments we perform, so it is important to take advantage of this moment to dedicate an extra pampering to the skin!
Having good skincare doesn’t have to be expensive or involve many steps.
