If you have oily or combination skin, the morning is your golden opportunity to control shine, minimize pores, prevent breakouts, and deeply cleanse your skin to avoid dead cell buildup or blackheads. Since mornings are often rushed, here’s an easy and effective skincare routine that takes just 7 minutes to prep your skin for the day.

Minutes 1–2: Gentle Cleansing
Start your day with a cleanser designed for oily or combination skin. Look for one that contains salicylic acid or green clay to help remove excess oil and deeply cleanse your pores without over-drying the skin.
Minute 3: Balancing Toner
Swipe a cotton pad soaked in an alcohol-free toner across your face to soothe your pores and regulate oil production. Ideally, use a toner with niacinamide or rose water to help fade dark spots.
Minute 4: Lightweight Serum
Apply a few drops of a serum rich in antioxidants like Vitamin C or niacinamide. These ingredients help even out skin tone and reduce inflammation.
Minute 5: Light and Smart Moisturizing
Even oily skin needs hydration. Choose a lightweight, non-greasy gel moisturizer that absorbs quickly and leaves no shine.
Minute 6: Sunscreen Protection
Use a gel-based or water-based sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Opt for a mattifying formula to help control shine throughout the day.
Minute 7: Final Touch
If you’re wearing makeup, apply a mattifying primer to prep your skin and help your makeup last longer through the day.
