Identifying
a problem is one-step away from solving it. There is no need living in self-denial.
If
you have oily skin, you may also suffer from the following problems:
Clogged
pores: Too much
oil dirt and clogs pores resulting in blemishes and breakouts. You can
check out our face mapping skin
analysis to find out what your blemishes are trying to tell
you.
Shine: Oily skin looks shiny and
greasy.
Runny
Cosmetics: You
have a hard time keeping makeup in place, and often have to blot and reapply.
The
good news is that oily skin ages more slowly than dry skin, so when you move
into your 40s and beyond, you may actually be thankful for your oiliness!
“I’ve
learned to love and embrace my oily skin,” says another one of our
readers. “Look at all those poor women out there with dry skin who constantly
have to replace what we already have in abundance!”
DAILY
ROUTINE FOR COMBATING EXCESS OIL
Even
though your skin may age more slowly than other types, that is little
consolation when you’re looking at large pores and shine. When looking for ways
to help control your oil production, start with some basic steps.
1. WASH ONLY TWICE A DAY
Even
though the oil crops back up within a couple hours, resist the urge to
wash again. If you strip the oils too much, your skin will react by
producing even more, which is definitely, what you do not want. If you wash off
that excess oil more than that, use water alone.
2. USE A DISSOLVING CLEANSER
You
want your cleanser to gently dissolve the oils and deeply clean at
the same time. Try out Citrus Mint Facial
Cleanser, which is formulated specifically for oiliness. It will
remove dirt, excess oil, and impurities without harsh chemicals, and will
help unclog pores. Use warm water, and massage the cleanser into your skin for
at least one minute before rinsing off.
3. TONE CAREFULLY
Again,
the danger here is over-stripping your natural oils and causing a backfire in
oil production. You want a toner that is gentle but effective. Try
out Rosemary Toning Mist, which helps clean and give
the skin a balanced appearance, and it is a leave-on toner, which provides lasting
benefits.
4. BALANCE THE OILS IN YOUR SKIN
This
is critical in oily skin types, and the step that most people struggle with.
You know the problem is too much oil, so you try to get rid of that oil, but
oftentimes that means harsh products that just strip the skin, damage the outer
layer, and lead to increased oil production in the end, as well as accelerated
aging.
Natural
oils have an amazing ability to work with the body to balance the way
your skin looks, which is why we love them. You may think, “Apply oils to
oily skin?” However, just try it—you will be amazed at the results, we are
sure. Use Herbal Facial Oil for Oily Skin, made especially
for oily skin types. Apply it every day after cleansing and you will notice a
more balanced look.
