Oily skin in Egypt faces challenges you won't find everywhere: summer heat that hits 40°C, coastal humidity, city pollution and strong sun all year — so oil shows up faster and pores look larger.
The good news: oily skin often holds on to moisture better. The problem isn't oily skin itself — it's how you care for it.
Morning routine for oily skin
Step 1: Gentle cleanse
Use a gel cleanser made for oily skin. Local tip: in summer, if you sweat at night, use a full gel cleanse; in winter, lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser are enough.
Step 2: Niacinamide serum
Lev`N Niacinamide 10% Serum helps regulate oil, minimize the look of pores and even out skin tone. Pat 2–3 drops onto clean skin.
Step 3: Light moisturizer (gel or lotion)
Oily skin still needs moisturizer — just a light one. Avoid heavy creams and oils in the morning.
Step 4: Sunscreen (a must!)
Choose an oil-free or gel-based sunscreen. In Egypt, SPF 30 at the very least — ideally 50.
Night routine for oily skin
Step 1: Double cleanse
First a makeup remover or cleansing oil, then your regular cleanser.
Step 2: Salicylic acid serum
Lev`N Salicylic Acid 2% Serum — start twice a week and build up gradually. On nights without salicylic acid, use niacinamide instead.
Step 3: Light moisturizer
Even at night, a light moisturizer helps the skin renew while you sleep.
