Taking care of your skin is a challenging task. Everyone has a different skin type, and while caring for each type is difficult, one can argue that oily skin is a more formidable challenge than others.
Different seasons ask for different adjustments in the process of caring for your oily skin, and following a simple daytime routine is not enough. At night, as we sleep, our skin finally gets an opportunity to repair and regenerate new cells. The increased blood flow to the skin at night time is beneficial in various ways.
As such, we ought to take advantage of this, and also incorporate a night time skin care routine for our oily skin. A well-followed night skin care routine for oily skin can have a great impact on hydrating, healing and brightening it.
In this blog post, we will lay out simple, easy-to-understand skincare routine steps for oily skin. Not only this, after the steps we will also tell you how to adjust your skin care routine for oily skin at home for the incoming Winter season.
Our years of knowledge and expertise in skincare at Flower Organics empower us to provide this knowledge.
Let’s Begin!
A Step-By-Step Night Skincare Routine For Oily Skin
Oily skin can be tough to manage, but by following these steps regularly, you can certainly feel better and also feel your skin getting better and better, whether it is brightening or feeling healthier.
Step 1: Apply Cleanser
The first step is to apply a cleanser. Choose a cleanser that is suitable for oily skin, and removes the excess oil and dirt on your face, without removing your skin’s natural moisture. Choose a face wash for oily skin, as it would suit the skin perfectly.
Step 2: Apply Toner
The second step is to apply a toner. Choose one specifically for oily skin as it can be useful in removing any remaining impurities while keeping your skin’s pH levels balanced. Choosing an alcohol-free toner is recommended.
Step 3: Apply Exfoliator
Exfoliation is a deep cleaning process and can be taxing on the skin. However, out of all skin
types, oily skin type is the most resilient to it. Even so, only exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week. Doing so removes the dead skin cells from your face and clears away clogged-up pores.

Step 4: Apply Serum
In the fourth step, apply a lightweight face serum suited for oily skin. Choose a serum that attacks skin concerns such as acne, excess oil or large pores. Choose a serum that contains ingredients that are beneficial for oily skin, such as niacinamide or Vitamin C.
Step 5: Apply Moisturiser
After applying the face serum, it is time to apply a moisturizer. This is important as oily skin requires proper hydration. Choose an oil-free moisturizer, as it would keep your skin hydrating without adding onto the excess oil.
Step 6: Apply Eye Cream
Caring for your eyes is important, the skin covering your eyes is delicate and should be hydrated. Apply a lightweight eye cream to protect it.
Final Step: Apply Night Cream
The final step in this night skin care routine for oily skin is to apply a night cream. Choose a night cream that is meant to specifically target and treat skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, acne or premature ageing. It is recommended to finish off with this as it will take advantage of blood flow and heal your skin throughout the night.
Night Skin Care Routine For Oily Skin For Winter Season
As mentioned above, just following skin care routine steps for oily skin is not enough; we also have to account for the seasonal changes. The change in temperature and humidity can call for adjustment. Let’s discuss how you can effectively adjust your skin care routine for oily skin in the Winter season:
Cleanser
In the Winter season, moisturizer can be stripped off of your skin. As such, use a hydrating cleanser to avoid even more moisture being taken off your skin.
Exfoliation
The Winter cold is harsh, so it is recommended to limit exfoliation to only once a week, as it is a process that can cause exertion to the skin. Not only this but limiting it to once a week in Winter can prevent irritation and dryness.
Toner
Choose a toner that has hydrating qualities, such as one with ingredients like rose water or hyaluronic acid. This can help in the Winter season by providing additional hydration to your skin.
Serum
Moisture is important for your oily skin, even more so in Winter. Choose a face serum that can lock in moisture, such as one with ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid.
Moisturizer
Choose a rich moisturizer, one with ceramides or shea butter and apply it regularly to combat Winter’s harsh atmosphere.
Spot Treatment
Use whatever treatment skin care product you require to treat your skin issues, but make sure it does not dry out its surrounding skin.
Conclusion
Caring for oily skin requires a consistent routine, especially at night when the skin repairs itself. By following the outlined steps and adjusting your skincare for Winter, you can effectively manage excess oil while keeping your skin hydrated and healthy.
