After washing your face, pat it dry with a soft cloth or towel. Don’t rub it with a harsh towel.
Once you’ve picked an oily skin sunscreen, cross check and ensure that all the other cosmetic products you use are also oil-free and non-comedogenic.
After cleansing your face, make sure to apply a toner. This will remove any leftover dead skin cells and sebum.
Moisturize, as always. Even if your skin is oily, you must never skip moisturizer.
