5 Secrets That Helped Me Finally Love My Oily, Acne-Prone Skin
If you have oily or acne-prone skin, you know how frustrating it can be. You try product after product, but nothing seems to help. Sometimes it even feels like things are getting worse.
I’ve been there. For years through my teens and twenties, I struggled with shiny skin, constant breakouts, and the frustration of never finding a routine that worked. Then I learned why nothing had worked and discovered the right solution for my skin. For the first time ever, I actually loved the way my skin looked and felt.
In this post, I’m sharing the 5 secrets that completely changed my skin and my confidence.
Secret #1: Skincare Systems Are Not One-Size-Fits-All
Building Confidence
Before finding the right skincare system that works for my skin type, I hid behind the camera. My confidence was low and didn’t like how I looked.
It’s easy to assume that all skincare systems are basically the same. But they’re not! Each one is formulated with specific skin types and concerns in mind. If you have oily or combination skin, you need a skincare regimen that specifically created for that skin type. Not just a generic cleanser and moisturizer.
I’ll never forget the first time I used a cleanser and moisturizer designed specifically for oily skin. After one use, my skin felt different, but in a good way. I couldn’t stop checking the mirror (or touching my face, even though I shouldn’t have). It really does make all the difference.
Secret #2: Wash Your Face Morning and Night
When your skin is oily, cleansing twice a day is non-negotiable. Washing at night clears away dirt, oil, and impurities that build up during the day. Washing in the morning helps reset your skin before you apply makeup or sunscreen.
Think of your face like the windshield of a car. It’s the first thing exposed to everything. If you skip washing before bed, all of that ends up on your pillowcase (and back on your skin). Over time, that leads to clogged pores and breakouts.
Bonus Tip: Wash or change your pillowcase at least once a week. If you struggle with frequent blemishes or sweat at night, swap it out twice a week.
Pro Tip: If you’re just building the routine of washing your face, my secret is to get 2 cleansers (1 for the shower & 1 for the bathroom sink). Seeing the cleanser will help cue a signal to remember to wash your face.
Secret #3: Yes, Oily Skin Still Needs Moisturizer
I know what you’re thinking: “Why would I put moisturizer on oily skin? Won’t that make it worse?” I thought the same thing.
But here’s the truth: when your skin isn’t getting enough hydration, it produces even more oil to make up for it. That overproduction can lead to clogged pores, shine, and breakouts.
Once I started using a lightweight moisturizer made for oily skin, everything changed. My skin stopped overcompensating and actually looked balanced. I couldn’t believe it!

Secret #4: Activated Charcoal Is Your Friend
Adding an activated charcoal mask to your weekly routine can make a huge difference. (Pro tip: use a wash-off mask, not a peel!)
Charcoal works like a magnet, pulling out excess oil, dirt, and impurities from your pores. But that’s not all—it also:
Detoxifies the skin
Removes dead skin cells
Brightens your complexion
It’s like a reset button for your face.
My FAVORITE Charcoal Mask
This triple-action mask uses activated charcoal and mineral clays to draw out impurities, absorb excess oil, and reduce shine, without leaving skin feeling dry or tight. Infused with soothing botanicals, it helps calm and clarify for a fresh, healthy-looking glow.

Secret #5: Avoid Touching Your Face (I Know, It’s Hard)
I’ll admit it, I’m guilty of this one. Especially when you LOVE how your skin feels. However, touching your face spreads dirt, bacteria, and oil from your hands to your skin. That leads to clogged pores and more breakouts.
According to Healthline, a study found that we touch our faces about 16 times an hour. Not only can that worsen acne, but it also increases your risk of infections. So hands off as much as possible!
The Bottom Line
You can’t change your skin type, but you can manage it. When I finally learned to:
* Use a system made for my oily skin
* Wash morning and night
* Moisturize daily
* Add activated charcoal
* Avoid touching my face
…my skin completely transformed. Since 2017, I’ve been using a system that works for me, and my confidence has never been higher. I smile more, I take more pictures, and I actually love my skin.
I want that for you, too. 💕
