Best Skincare Routine for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin in Pakistan

Oily and acne-prone skin can feel frustrating, especially in Pakistan’s hot and humid climate. Excess sweat, pollution, and sun exposure often lead to clogged pores, breakouts, and shine. The good news? With the right skincare routine for oily skin, you can control oil, prevent acne, and keep your skin fresh and balanced.

Below is the best routine. Simple, effective, and designed for Pakistani skin types.

Why Does Oily Skin Need a Routine?

Most people with oily skin think they don’t need skincare.
But in reality:

• Heat + humidity increase oil production
  
  

• Dehydration triggers even more oil
  
  

• Pollution traps dirt inside pores
  
  

• Sun exposure darkens acne marks
  
  

A consistent routine helps control sebum, reduce acne, and strengthen the skin barrier over time.

🔹 Step 1: Cleanser – Use an Acne Face Wash Twice a Day

Using the right acne face wash clears oil, dirt, and bacteria without stripping the skin.

What to look for:

• Salicylic Acid (best for unclogging pores)
  
  

• Niacinamide (oil-control + calming)
  
  

• Gel-based, non-drying formulas
  
  

Pro Tip:

Avoid harsh scrubs, they irritate and increase acne.

🔹 Step 2: Toner – Optional but Helpful

A gentle toner can balance the skin and tighten pores.

Best ingredients for Pakistani oily skin:

• Witch Hazel
  
  

• Green Tea
  
  

• Niacinamide
  
  

Use only if your skin tolerates it. Skip if you feel dryness.

🔹 Step 3: Serum – Target Acne, Dark Spots & Texture

Oily and acne-prone skin benefits from lightweight serums.
Choose one depending on your concern.

Best serum ingredients:

• Niacinamide → controls oil, reduces acne marks
  
  

• Salicylic Acid (BHA) → deep cleansing of pores
  
  

• Vitamin C → brightening and fading dark spots
  
  

Use 3–4 drops daily.

🔹 Step 4: Moisturizer – Oil-Free Is a Must

Many people skip moisturizers, but this makes oily skin worse.
When your skin dries out, it produces more oil.

Always use an oil-free moisturizer Pakistan users prefer for lightweight hydration.

Look for:

• Gel texture
  
  

• Hyaluronic Acid
  
  

• Ceramides
  
  

• Niacinamide
  
  

A good moisturizer will hydrate without greasiness, prevent breakouts, and repair your barrier.

🔹 Step 5: Sunscreen – The Most Important Step

Sun exposure darkens acne scars and increases oil production.
For oily skin, choose:

• Gel-based
  
  

• Oil-free
  
  

• Non-comedogenic
  
  

• SPF 30 or SPF 50
  
  

Use daily — even indoors.
