Top 5 Budget Buys for Combination and Oily Skin!

If you have combination or oily skin that can feel greasy by the end of the day, then you need to try mattifying products that balance oil production! For anyone with oily skin, I recommend looking out for skincare that works to control excess sebum on the skin. Oily skin can be worsened by factors such as hormonal fluctuations during your menstrual cycle, stress, comedogenic skincare (that block pores) and changes in the weather. When the weather gets warmer, you may notice that your skin becomes even more oily than usual! To control shine and balance your skin, these are the natural products that I love!

1. WOTNOT Facial Wipes - Oily/Sensitive

For those days when you want a quicker alternative to your regular cleansing routine, I recommend the WOTNOT Facial Wipes - Oily/Sensitive $8.95. Formulated with certified organic ingredients including Pink Grapefruit, Papaya and Rosehip, these hydrating wipes cleanse without leaving your skin feeling dried out. They may be ideal for anyone with oily or acne prone skin because they deep clean and effectively remove any traces of makeup"¦ even waterproof mascara! Facial wipes are also great to take travelling as they quickly cleanse on the go.

2. Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses® Cleansing Foam

The Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses® Cleansing Foam $19.99, is a rich foaming cleanser that removes makeup, oil, and other impurities.

3. Lavera Cleansing Gel

If you’re looking for a fuss free cleanser, I highly recommend the Lavera Cleansing Gel $15.35! It’s a lightly foaming gel ideal for all skin types including oily and sensitive. This cleanser is made using a natural blend of organic Lemon Balm and Mallow which may be both healing and calming. When massaged into your skin, this cleanser works to remove any traces of dirt, makeup and oily impurities. It’s the perfect alternative to mainstream supermarket cleansers!
