Cold Weather but Shiny Face? Here’s How to Control Oily Skin

Many people assume that oily skin is only a concern in hot weather. However, when the temperature drops, your skin may actually produce more oil in response to dryness and cold air. The result? A shiny face, clogged pores, and unwanted breakouts. Don't worry here are some practical tips along with recommended TST products to help you manage oily skin during cold weather:

1. Use a Gentle, Alcohol Free Cleanser

Cold air can make your skin more sensitive. Harsh cleansers may strip your natural oils and trigger even more oil production.

Recommended: TST Gentle Facial Cleanser with Centella Asiatica, Ginger Root, and Algae Extract helps remove impurities, deeply hydrates, and supports the skin barrier.

2. Never Skip Moisturizer

Even oily skin needs proper hydration, especially during colder months. Opt for a water-based, non-comedogenic moisturizer.

Recommended: TST Tender Soothing Gel Film, enriched with Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, Lactobacillus, and Chamomilla Recutita Extract moisturizes, softens, and maintains skin hydration throughout the day.

3. Use a Balancing Toner

A toner with the right ingredients can control oil while keeping the skin soft and hydrated.

Recommended: TST Rose Extraction Balancing Toner, formulated with Rosa Damascena Rose Petals, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Chlorella Extract soothes redness, maintains skin softness, and delivers essential hydration.

4. Exfoliate Regularly But Gently

Exfoliating 1–2 times a week helps remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. Over-exfoliating, however, can irritate your skin and worsen oiliness.

5. Use a Clay Mask Weekly

Clay masks can absorb excess oil and purify the skin without overdrying it.

Recommended: TST Immaculated Cleansing Mud Mask with Montmorillonite, Jojoba Seed Oil, and Sodium Hyaluronate removes deep seated dirt, controls sebum, and balances skin moisture.

6. Watch Your Diet and Stay Hydrated

Drink enough water and limit greasy, sugary foods. A healthy diet supports oil control from within.

7. Don’t Skip Sunscreen Even on Cloudy Days

UV rays are still present in cold weather and can harm your skin.

Recommended: TST Lightweight Aqua Sheer Sunscreen with Bisabolol, Tuber Magnatum Extract, and Arbutin offers UV protection while keeping the skin hydrated and feeling light.

Managing oily skin in cold weather is all about balance. With a consistent routine and skin-friendly products like those from TST, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and shine-free all winter long.
