4 Tips to Manage Oily Skin

4 Tips to Manage Oily Skin

1. Choose a Gentle Cleanser

The biggest mistake with oily skin is over-cleansing or using harsh foaming washes that strip natural oils. This only causes your skin to produce even more oil. Instead, opt for a gentle cream cleanser that balances without irritation.

✨ Try This:

Clean Slate – Creamy Cream Cleanser

With Willow Bark Extract (a natural BHA), Colloidal Oatmeal, and Sunflower Oil, it unclogs pores, smooths skin, and calms redness — making it ideal for daily use.


2. Don’t Skip Moisturizer

It’s a myth that oily skin doesn’t need moisture. In fact, hydration keeps your skin balanced, preventing it from overproducing oil. Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic creams that provide hydration without clogging pores.

Try This:

Revive Crème – Lightweight Daily Moisturizer

Packed with Niacinamide, Aloe Vera, and Green Tea Extract, this silky formula strengthens your skin barrier, reduces shine, and leaves skin refreshed.


3. Incorporate Natural Exfoliation

Oily skin is prone to clogged pores and congestion. Gentle exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and prevent breakouts - but harsh scrubs can cause micro-tears and irritation. 

✨ Try This:

Buff Off – Creamy Clay Cleanser

Formulated with New Zealand Glacial Clay, Rose Clay, and Tea Tree Oil, it gently purifies, absorbs excess oil, and helps calm blemishes — without leaving your skin dry or tight.


4. Balance with a Targeted Mask

A weekly clay mask helps absorb excess oil, refine pores, and give your skin a refreshed, clarified look. The key is choosing a mask that purifies without stripping.

Try This:

Glacial Bloom – Detox Clay Mask

Infused with NZ Glacial Clay, Kaolin Clay, and Rosehip Oil, this mask draws out impurities while replenishing hydration and calming irritation — perfect for sensitive, oily, or breakout-prone skin.


Managing oily skin isn’t about harsh products — it’s about balance and barrier support. By using Pure + Kiwi's gentle cleansers, hydrating moisturizers, natural exfoliants, and weekly clay masks, you can reduce shine and keep your complexion smooth and clear.
