Oily skin in Chennai’s heat and humidity needs a facial that controls sebum without stripping the skin, which just triggers more oil production. At YLG, the Rose Mint Clean Up, Citrus Aglow Classic Facial and Skin Radiance Premium Facial are the three most booked for oily and combination skin. This guide covers which one to pick and what it costs.

Why Oily Skin Needs a Different Facial
Chennai’s heat pushes the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, and humidity stops sweat from evaporating — the two combine into a film that sits on the skin and clogs pores, especially on the forehead, nose and chin. A facial built for oily skin needs to clear that film and regulate oil production, rather than add rich, heavy creams that make the problem worse.

How Often to Get a Facial for Oily Skin
Every 3 to 4 weeks is the general rhythm for oily and combination skin — closer to 2 weeks in Chennai’s peak summer (March to June) if breakouts or congestion pick up. A weekly clean-up like the Rose Mint is light enough to repeat more often than a full facial.
Between Salon Visits
A gentle, oil-free cleanser morning and night, a lightweight non-comedogenic moisturiser, and a mineral SPF are the basics that keep an oily-skin facial’s results from undoing themselves within a week. Avoid heavy, occlusive creams — they’re built for dry skin, not oily.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which facial is best for oily skin at YLG?
The Rose Mint Clean Up (Rs 999) for regular maintenance, or the Skin Radiance Premium Facial (Rs 2,161) for a deeper reset when skin feels congested or dull.
How often should I get a facial if I have oily skin?
Every 3 to 4 weeks generally, or every 2 weeks during Chennai’s hottest months if you’re breaking out more than usual.
Will a facial make oily skin worse?
Not if it’s the right one. Facials built for oily skin use lighter, oil-regulating products rather than heavy creams — those are the ones to ask for.
Is the ELT facial good for oily skin?
ELT is mainly a brightening and glow treatment. For pure oil control, the Rose Mint or Citrus Aglow facials are a better match — your therapist can advise at the consultation.
