How do i know if i have oily skin?

Determining your skin type is the first step in developing a skin care routine. A skin diagnosis, as offered by Clarins, will identify if you have oily skin and help you select the best products and routines for a radiant complexion.

How is oily skin diagnosed?
To be sure that you have oily skin you will want to get familiar with the symptoms and signs of oily skin. Oilier skin usually means a shinier forehead and nose area, as well as the appearance of dilated pores. The shine may be frustrating to try and combat on a daily basis, and the blackheads and dead skin cells that result from the over-production of sebum may seem nothing short of a beauty burden. But, caring for oily skin boils down to a few beauty tips and tricks, and Clarins has a wealth of skincare insight to help promote the health and beauty of your skin.

How do I treat oily skin?
Oily skin requires gentle but deep cleansing to keep it looking its best. Although it seems counter-intuitive, oily skin still requires adequate hydration for optimal balance and radiance. Try Clarins’ Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Tamarind to prep oily skin for its beauty regimen and to counter dullness and excess sebum. Don't forget oily skin's mantra: proper cleansing equals long-term vibrancy. Clarins' collection of mattifying products works against the symptoms of oily skin to keep your skin's balance in check and to promote health and glow. Creating a flawless look is achieved by minimizing shine as well as the appearance of large pores. Developing a great skin care routine with quality products will help revolutionize your skin's appearance.
