Essential oils that are beneficial for oily skin include;

  • geranium
  • lavender
  • cedarwood
  • palmarosa
  • niaouli
  • juniper berry
  • tea tree
  • ylang-ylang
  • cypress
  • grapefruit
  • bergamot
  • myrtle

Pro Tip: finish a treatment with flower water that's targeted for oily skin. These include verbena water, witch hazel, orange flower water, and cornflower water.
