The #Drama of Oily Skin and the Forever-Shiny Forehead

If there’s one skincare struggle that makes guys sweat every single year… it’s oily skin. Feeling stickier than a McDonald’s fryer, shinier than a greasy napkin after chorizo tapas, more reflective than your mom’s phone screen in a dark movie theater… we’ve been there. 

And with shine comes its besties: blackheads, enlarged pores (hello, orange peel texture), and that eternal sensation of having a permanently lubed-up face. 

So today, we’re putting on our science lab coats ⚗️ to break down why your skin gets oily and how to keep it in check—so you don’t feel like you need a "Caution: Slippery Surface" sign on your forehead. 

 

MY SKIN IS SUPER OILY… IS THAT NORMAL OR SHOULD I PANIC? 

Oily skin level: Could you fry an egg on your forehead? Let’s get scientific… 

Mood: Science mode ON in 3, 2, 1… 🔬 

FACT: Statistically (not sociology or gender theory here), guys tend to have oilier skin than women. "Seborrheic" comes from sebum—a mix of wax, sugars, fatty acids… kinda like the engine oil that keeps a car from breaking down. It protects your skin from external damage, haters' comments, and life’s general chaos. But when the production goes into overdrive, boom: excess oil, aka oily skin. 

The good news? Your skin is better protected and will age more slowly. 
The bad news? It’s shiny as hell, with visible pores, blackheads… basically, your face starts looking like a butcher shop door handle. ☎️ 

 

BUT WHY ME? 😭 

Dude, you shine… because you’re a ray of ligth. That, and because there are a few reasons why your skin is on permanent grease mode: 

  • Genetics: Like therapy says, blame your parents. 

  • Environment: City life, humid climates, summer heat, and outdoor activities = sweat levels higher than a cyclist’s seat. 

  • Hormones: Puberty, seasonal changes, etc. 

  • Diet: Sugar, greasy food, and alcohol… it all shows up on your face. 

  • The almighty stress: Once again, the villain. 

The good news? While you can’t swap out your family, city, or lifestyle… skincare science has got your back with solutions to keep your shine under control. 

 

1, 2, 3 STEPS TO KEEP OILY SKIN IN CHECK 

1. Cleanse Without Drying Out 

Your mom probably said it best: A clean face is worth more than 1000 selfies. Okay, maybe she didn’t put it exactly like that, but you get the point. 

Just don’t go reaching for dish soap or aggressive cleansers that strip your skin like a lizard shedding its scales. Use something designed for your face—one that washes away oil, bacteria, sweat, dirt, and bad vibes without wrecking your skin. Try our Splash Foam Party cleanser for that fresh-faced, pore-clearing magic. 

 

2. Exfoliate to Fight Blackheads and Clogged Pores 

A solid exfoliation routine minimizes pores and gives your face that “damn, you’re glowing” effect. Exfoliating gets rid of dead skin cells, brings fresh skin to the surface, and basically tells your face to get its act together. 

Meet Coffee Crush, our salicylic acid exfoliator that battles breakouts, blackheads, and oil like a skincare superhero—with a rich coffee scent that’ll make you wanna use it daily. 

 

3. Hydrate Without the Shine 

After exfoliating, moisturize. Yes, even oily skin needs hydration. A dehydrated oily face will just produce more and more oil—entering an endless grease cycle. 

The trick? Finding a lightweight, non-sticky moisturizer. 🧴 Enter Dragon Shot—our epic moisturizer made to handle daily battles while keeping shine in check. Say goodbye to reflecting yourself in store windows.

DON’T LET OILY SKIN DIM YOUR BLING-BLING 💖
