Because “glowy” and “greasy” are two very different things.
If you’re someone who washes your face in the morning, only to look like a glazed donut by noon, you’re in the right place. Oily skin is totally normal (and can actually age slower!), but it can also feel sticky, shiny, and high-maintenance.
The good news? It doesn’t have to be. With the right natural skincare products that actually understand oily skin, you can manage excess oil, reduce breakouts, and keep your skin looking fresh, not fried.
At Mintree, we’re all about simple routines that actually work. No 12-step rituals. No harsh chemicals. Just clean, natural products that keep your skin balanced, breathable, and bright.
Ready to get your oily skin under control? Let’s check it out!
Why Does Your Skin Get Oily in the First Place?
Your skin produces sebum (natural oil) to keep itself moisturized. Oily skin just... goes a bit overboard. It could be genetic, hormonal, caused by over-washing (yes, really), or using the wrong products. The key is not to strip your skin but to balance it.
Your skin is probably crying out, “Please don’t dry me out with soap bars!” And honestly? Fair enough.
Step 1: Start With the Right Face Wash for Oily Skin
If you’ve ever used a foaming cleanser that made your face feel squeaky-clean (and then even oilier two hours later), we’ve been there.
What you need is a Face Wash for Oily Skin that:
-
Cleanses deeply
-
Doesn’t strip natural moisture
-
Helps regulate oil, not fight it
Mintree Tip: Look for natural ingredients like tea tree, neem, or aloe vera; they’re gentle yet effective at dealing with excess sebum.
Use it - Twice a day, morning to refresh, night to remove the grime.
Step 2: Exfoliate (But Don’t Overdo It)
Oily skin = clogged pores = blackheads + breakouts.
So, start using the Exfoliating Face Scrub.
Why is it essential?
-
Removes dead skin cells
-
Unclogs pores
-
Prevents those surprise pimples on your cheeks, chin, and nose
How often? 2–3 times a week is plenty.
Over-exfoliating can irritate your skin and make it oilier, let’s not go there.
Mintree Tip: Our gentle Exfoliating Face Scrub is made with natural granules that don’t scratch or inflame your skin. It’s like a smooth reset button.
Step 3: Hydrate with the Right Moisturizer for Oily Skin
Yes, oily skin needs moisture too.
We know, it feels weird. But when you skip moisturizing, your skin panics and produces even more oil. The trick is to use a Moisturizer for Oily Skin; lightweight, gel-based, and non-comedogenic (fancy word for “won’t clog your pores”).
What to look for?
-
Ingredients like aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, or green tea
-
Oil-free formulas
-
Quick-absorption and matte finish
Mintree Tip: Apply your moisturizer on damp skin (right after cleansing) to lock in hydration.
Step 4: Add a Targeted Face Serum
Think of a Face Serum as your skin’s personal assistant; focused, reliable, and great at multitasking. It dives deeper than a moisturizer and addresses specific oily skin issues like-
-
Enlarged pores
-
Acne scars
-
Uneven texture
-
Choose serums with:
-
Niacinamide (balances oil, shrinks pores)
-
Vitamin C (brightens, fights inflammation)
-
Salicylic acid (clears congestion)
Mintree Tip: Just 2–3 drops after cleansing and before moisturizing is enough. Use daily, and you’ll start to notice the glow—not the grease.
Step 5: Never Skip Sunscreen (Seriously, Never)
Sunscreen is your skin’s bodyguard, especially if you're using serums or scrubs. And if you have oily skin, the wrong sunscreen can feel like a hot, sticky mess.
That’s why you need Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++—the kind that -
-
Offers broad-spectrum protection (UVA + UVB)
-
Feels weightless on the skin
-
Leaves no white cast
-
Keeps shine in check
Mintree Tip: Apply as the last step in your routine every morning, even if you’re indoors. Reapply every 2–3 hours when outdoors.
Weekly Bonus Step - Detox Your Skin with a Mask
Give your skin a breather once a week with a clay or charcoal-based mask. It’ll help absorb excess oil, unclog stubborn pores, and calm down any angry breakouts.
Pro move: Mask after exfoliating for maximum effect. Your skin will drink it up.

Why Natural Products Matter for Oily Skin
Using natural skincare products isn’t about trends, it’s about trust. Your skin absorbs what you apply, and harsh chemicals can trigger more oil, more breakouts, and more frustration.
At Mintree, we craft our skincare with your real skin needs in mind. No sulphates, no parabens, no heavy fillers; just clean, plant-based, skin-loving formulas that keep your oily skin in balance.
Oily skin doesn’t have to feel high-maintenance. With the right skincare products, a few minutes of daily care, and consistency, you’ll see results that last, less grease, more glow, fewer breakouts, and skin that finally feels like it’s under control.
