Stepping outside in summer can feel like you’re instantly sticky. If you’ve got oily skin, that greasy shine isn’t just about sweat—heat and humidity crank up oil production, clog pores, and make breakouts way more likely. Even sunscreen can feel heavy or leave you shiny if you pick the wrong kind.
Your skin’s sebaceous glands go into overdrive when it’s hot. Dermatologists see up to a 20% increase in oil output during peak summer months. Mix that with sweat and pollution and you’ve got a recipe for blocked pores and stubborn acne.
Skip creamy or oil-based formulas. Use a gentle, gel-based cleanser twice daily—morning and night. Look for ingredients like tea tree, green tea, or niacinamide. These help manage excess oil without stripping your skin.
Many people skip sunscreen, worried it’ll clog pores. But broad-spectrum SPF is a must. Choose mattifying sunscreens or mineral-based ones (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide). Avoid formulas with heavy oils or pore-blocking waxes.
Our plant-powered, vegan skincare line is designed for oily and combination skin. We offer gel cleansers, light moisturizers, and zinc-based sunscreens that keep your skin feeling fresh, not greasy. If you want formulas free from parabens, sulfates, or silicones, check out Lotus Botanicals. We blend nature and science so oily skin can finally breathe easy all summer.
1. Why does my skin get so much oilier in summer?
Heat and humidity boost your skin’s oil production, and sweat mixes with that oil. This can clog pores and make breakouts more frequent.
2. Should I skip moisturizer if my skin is super oily?
No, even oily skin needs moisture. Use a lightweight, oil-free gel moisturizer so your skin stays balanced and hydrated.
3. Is gel cleanser better than foam or cream for oily skin?
Gel cleansers are less likely to leave residue and are gentler on oily skin. Foams can be drying, while creams are often too heavy for summer.
4. How often should I wash my face during summer?
Twice a day is usually enough. Over-washing can strip your skin and actually trigger more oil production.
5. Will sunscreen make my oily skin worse?
Not if you choose the right kind. Look for mineral sunscreens or matte-finish formulas that won’t clog pores.
6. Can I use Lotus Botanicals products for oily skin in summer?
Absolutely. Our gel cleansers, light moisturizers, and zinc-based sunscreens are made for oily skin and won’t leave you greasy.
7. What ingredients should I avoid in summer skincare for oily skin?
Skip heavy oils, waxes, and alcohol-based products. They can clog pores or dry out your skin, making oiliness worse.
8. How do I keep my makeup from sliding off oily skin in hot weather?
Use a mattifying primer and set with translucent powder. Blotting papers in your bag can help you stay shine-free on the go.
9. Is it safe to exfoliate oily skin in summer?
Yes, but stick to gentle exfoliation—like chemical exfoliants (BHA)—once or twice a week. Don’t overdo it with harsh scrubs.
10. What sets Lotus Botanicals apart for oily skin care?
We use plant-based, vegan ingredients and avoid parabens, sulfates, and silicones. Our products support oily skin without irritation.
