Natural Skin Care Products for Oily Skin
We need to establish healthy habits and daily routines to get the results we desire.
Our skin is a microclimate of ‘good bacteria’ necessary to regulate our skin, fight infection and retain moisture. However, with the increasing use of synthetics, preservatives, parabens and sulphates in traditional skincare, our skin’s natural healing and pH balancing abilities can be dramatically decreased, as good bacteria are stripped, and moisture levels depleted.
Au Natural – Products to Reduce Oily Skin
Oily skin is a condition that affects many men, women and teenagers, and can occur at any stage of a person’s life. In this skin type, the oil-producing sebaceous glands are overactive and produce more sebum oil than is needed. Some common reasons for this skin type are genetic, hormonal and use of birth control pills, pregnancy, humidity and hot climates, diets lacking in Vitamin B2 and B5 and using the wrong cosmetics.
Simple things that you can do that will make a difference are: eat cleanly and drink 8 glasses of water a day, remove your make-up before bed, change your pillowcase regularly and avoid over stimulating your skin.
With oily skins, less is more, so stripping the skin of all oil with harsh alcohol products will just cause new problems, your skin is fragile, if you take care of it, it will take care of you!
