Oily Skin Care in Nigeria
Oily skin makes extra sebum, especially in Nigerian heat and humidity, which can mean shine by midday, enlarged-looking pores and breakouts. The goal is to balance oil, not strip it.
Your routine, step by step
- Use a gentle gel or foaming cleanser twice a day. Harsh scrubbing makes skin produce more oil.
- Add niacinamide or salicylic acid (BHA) to calm shine and clear pores. Start a few nights a week.
- Moisturise with a light gel or lotion. Skipping moisturiser can make oil worse.
- Wear a lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen every morning, SPF 30 or higher.
