Oily Skin Beauties: Meet Your Root Summer Skin Type Must-Haves
Summer is [almost] here! That means gorgeous sunny days and glowing skin… but not always in a good way. With summer ALSO comes hot sweaty days, hats that rub against our oily hairline, and harsh UV rays, all of which wreck havoc on our sensitive skin we’ve finally balanced out after the dry winter weather.
Some of us have naturally oily skin in the first place, and the idea of summer skincare starts to get daunting right about now. All you oily skin beauties - have no fear. Whether your oily skincare concern is acne & pore minimization, dark under eye circles & dullness, anti-aging, or even color correction of dark spots or redness, Root has a new summer go-to product just for you!
To kickoff our Summer Skin Type Must-Have blog series, we’ve taken your Oily Skin Type + Your Skincare Concern and paired it with your NEW FAVORITE Root skincare summer must-have. Show your skin some LOVE and keep glowing… in a good way, all summer long.
1. Oily + Acne & Pore Minimization
Your New FAV: Fresh Face Cleanser
Suffering from increased acne during the summer? Root Fresh Face Cleanser is your new go-to! Organic Aloe Leaf Juice reduces inflammation and balances your skin’s natural oil secretion. Not only does Organic Grapefruit Essential Oil & Organic Jojoba Seed Oil prevent your skin from producing excess oils, but the dynamic duo also aids in skin-brightening! The cleanser’s key ingredient of Activated Charcoal cleanses your face deeply while rebalancing for glowing, refreshed skin and a clearer complexion. Not to mention, Organic Grapefruit Essential Oil smells amazing, but also is a natural astringent which shrinks your pores and tightens skin! WIN WIN!
Use: Gently massage onto damp skin morning and night. Rinse. Follow with Root Fresh Face Moisturizer.
2. Oily + Anti-Aging
Your New FAV: Pomegranate Antioxidant Serum
Pomegranate Extract naturally improves the amount of hydration within your skin and boosts collagen production, making Root Pomegranate Antioxidant Serum the perfect product for those looking to balance oily skin and decrease signs of aging. Plus, oily skin beauties will LOVE that it's so lightweight! Organic Aloe Leaf Juice gently soothes and softens skin while fighting off daily toxins that cause premature aging. Vitamin C, a key ingredient in Root Pomegranate Antioxidant Serum helps to mitigate problems both before and after they occur. It acts as a shield to your skin, keeping those harsh pollutions out! This serum is truly full of POWERHOUSE ingredients for those with oily skin looking for anti-aging benefits.
Use: Apply a pea size amount of the Root Pomegranate Antioxidant Serum to freshly washed face. Massage all over morning and night. Follow with Root Pomegranate Antioxidant Moisturizer.
3. Oily + Dark Under Eye Circles & Dullness
Your New FAV: Organic Peppermint Toner
Root Organic Peppermint Toner is the best choice for someone with oily skin looking to battle dark under eye circles and dullness. Organic Peppermint Leaf aids in preventing oil secretion and brightening the complexion, therefore lessening acne, blemishes, and dark circles. The mix of Organic Bilberry, Sugar Cane, Maple Cane, Orange Peel and Lemon Peel work to improve the skin’s texture and replenish dead skin cells, leaving the face rejuvenated and naturally glowing. Talk about R&R! Root Organic Peppermint Toner gives tired, dull skin new life and gently soothes inflammation.
Use: Shake well before each use. Apply with cotton ball all over freshly washed face and neck. Follow with Root Pomegranate Antioxidant Serum and Root Fresh Face Moisturizer.
4. Oily + Color Correction of Dark Spots or Redness
Your New FAV: Organic Peppermint Mud Mask
Do you have oily skin looking to detox and rid your face of dark spots or redness? There is no doubt Root Organic Peppermint Mud Mask is going to be your new FAVORITE skincare product this summer! With key ingredients of Activated Charcoal, Bentonite Clay, and Kaolin Clay, the mask pulls out harsh everyday toxins and tones skin. Use as an overnight spot treatment on troublesome areas and dark spots, as the Organic White Willow Bark Extract alleviates irritation and discoloration. Pomegranate Extract leaves your skin tingling with rejuvenation and tightening. #Queen! The amazing combination of Peppermint Essential Oil, Vitamins E, C, B5 and B3 work together to soothe and brighten.
Use: Apply all over freshly washed face. Allow mask to dry (about 30 minutes). To remove, gently massage face with water and rinse. It’s best to use product within 3 months or store in fridge to keep fresh longer.
Increased temperatures and humidity can make anyone with oily skin go crazy during the summer months. With these Root Summer Skin Type Must-Haves, we’ll keep your skin glowing, balanced and smooth all summer long. When searching for the best additions to your skincare routine, remember not all skincare products are created equal! Root products are made with only the best skin-loving ingredients. This summer, relax and restore - the last thing you want to worry about is your skin! Get glowing… the right way!

I love the acne treatment! In the summer my acne always flares up and the sweat and oil never help. I love that this cleanser has charcoal and other natural ingredients so I know that my skin won’t dry up like it normally does with other harsh cleansers. You really do feel like you have a fresh face!
Sara
Lots of good info
valerie
My skin tends to be oily and the mud mask would most likely benefit me.
Katy
I can’t get enough of the Fresh Face skincare line. I have struggled with acne for years and I definitely didn’t think a natural product could do the job — Root skincare has not only kept me from breaking out but my skin seriously GLOWS and the best part is that it FEELS good.

Sydney | Marketing Assistant
Replying to comment: I have the anti-age moisturizer, it feels light and smells clean. I feel like I need more, what do you recommend for the 35+ category?
I recommend trying our Pomegranate Night Cream. The Night Cream is going to deeply moisturize the skin overnight. It also will contain those anti-aging properties that we all love! :
Sydney | Marketing Assistant
Replying to comment: will the POMEGRANATE ANTIOXIDANT SERUM be oily under make up?
Our Pomegranate Serum is more focused on anti-aging properties than moisturizing. I personally use it everyday under my makeup and I have very oily skin. It’s the perfect amount of moisture for my oily skin and I recommend it to anyone! :)
Sydney | Marketing Assistant
Replying to comment: Which toner is the best for very dry skin?
I would highly recommend the Lavender Toner. Our Fresh Lavender Line is specially geared towards very dry skin!
Sydney | Marketing Assistant
Replying to comment: I need to add the Peppermint Toner to my list. How strong is the peppermint? I’m curious since its used closed to your eyes.
Our Peppermint Toner is going to have the perfect balance of Peppermint. It is great for waking you up in the morning, but is extra sensitive near eyes. It can also be used to remove makeup!
Sydney | Marketing Assistant
Replying to comment: I love peppermint masks, but I do not have oily skin. Is there another mask that would be more beneficial?
You can absolutely use our Peppermint Mud Mask with any skin type, we just included into our Oily Skin Must Haves due to it being great for getting rid of any excess oil! :)
Sydney | Marketing Assistant
Replying to comment: Love these articles! I really appreciate this series customized to the different skin types. If my skin is Dry/Combination is the face mask still a good choice? Would I just follow it up with extra moisturizer?
I would definitely still recommend the Peppermint Mud Mask. If you are concerned with locking in more moisture, I would suggest any of our amazing moisturizers afterwards!
Sydney | Marketing Assistant
Replying to comment: What product would you recommend for dark circles and under eye puffiness?
I would recommend the Peppermint Toner for the Dark Circles. For under eye puffiness, I would suggest our Pomegranate Eye Cream! This combination should help with both concerns you have.
Luz

Rajee Pandi
