Tip 1: A Little Toner Goes A Long Way
Ever heard that saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?” Well skin toners work something like that. It’s all about the before of the make-up routine. Toners help to remove oil and traces of dirt and grime. And on top of that they help shrink pores, reducing the penetration of impurities and environmental contaminants into the skin.

We’re forever swearing by Clarins Toning Lotion With Iris Combination or Oily Skin as your go-to toner. It contains sage, which firms, tones and stimulates while acting as an astringent. Being lightweight and refreshing, it’s the perfect way to balance out your skin. (was $24, now $22.95)

Tip 2:  Less is More
When you have oily skin you need to cut back on what’s feeding the problem, but without sacrificing the results of smooth and glowing skin. We recommend two-in-one foundations to cut back on layers of make-up that could be clogging up your pores.

One of the best is Shiseido’s Urban Environment Tinted UV Protector SPF 43. It’s a sheer – hydrating and oil-free tinted cream that delivers high protection against UV rays and environmental aggressors. It even gives skin a healthy, even-tone natural glow with a hint color. (was $32, now $29.95)

Tip 3:  Prime Time is Everything
While you think you may have your primer game all figured out, you should consider going the multitasking route, just like your foundation.

Philosophy’s The Present Clear Makeup feels lightweight and functions as a foundation primer, colourless skin perfector, skin barrier protector and oil-free moisturizer. It gives skin a flawless, airbrushed appearance while camouflaging fine lines, wrinkles, and pores. (was $30, now $29.95)

Tip 4: Powder the Shine Away

Keep your skin shine-free all day by being proactive and carry powder on-the-go always. Powder will absorb oil while keeping your skin tone looking even.

We suggest trying out Lancome’s Dior Diorskin Nude Air Loose Powder to finish off your look. It’s impressively lightweight and forms a genuine pollution-fighting shield that limits the absorption of harmful particles. Results: a fresh, radiant face. (was $56, now $49.95)

*Extra Fun: Try a matte blush to add a little definition to your look. Give Borghese Eclissare Color Eclipse Color Rise Blush a try for a fun look and a natural glow. (was $30, now $19.95)
