Ingredients to avoid:

5. Consider the season and environment

6. Check your reaction
When using a new product, test a small amount to see if it causes any breakouts or irritation before using it

The bottom line
oil control and moisture balance are key for oily skin. It's important to choose products based on your skin condition and seasonal factors, and to regularly check your skin's reaction after use.
