Oily Skin - Prevent Oily Skin by Adopting The Right Skin Care Regime
Causes of Oily Skin
Genetic - Genes can be such that your parents passed on
'the oily skin gene' to you and that is just the way it is. But
you don't have to resign your self to having oily skin. The
right skin care regime will help to balance the pH of your skin
and help you achieve a more 'normal' skin type.
Dietary - This is one area where you can have a strong
influence. You choose what you eat and what you eat will affect
your skin. Eat oily, greasy foods and your skin will reflect
that. Eat healthy foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables and
your skin will reflect that too. Some vegetables are
particularly good to help balance your skin and help reduce the
oiliness of your skin. Some include:
Greens and fruits; drink Yarrow Tea; add Cucumber, parsley,
Cabbage, Tomato to your cooking and salads.
Hormonal - Hormones influence your skin to a great
extent. The birth control pill can cause some women to develop
oily skin, while in others it can cause dryness of the skin. You
should talk to your health professional about your concerns if
you suspect your birth control pill to be causing you oily skin.
Pregnancy related - Pregnancy is a time when your body
goes through a number of hormonal changes, these will tend to
normalise themselves after birth, however, using a good quality,
natural skin care regime can give you considerable relief while
your pregnant and wish to get your oily skin under control.
Cosmetic products - Make sure your cosmetic products
are natural, synthetic and artificial products have a habit of
causing all sorts of skin reactions, apart from making your skin
oilier than it already is.
Climatic - Hot, humid climates tend to cause oily skin.
Again you can counteract this by using a high quality natural
skin care regime and drinking lots of water (in excess of 3
litres per day).
Most commonly, teenagers are most likely to be affected by
oiliness of the skin a however, hormonal changes, such as
pregnancy, puberty, menstrual cycles etc., can affect the sebum
secretions of the skin and result in oily skin. Although,
generally with age the skin tends to become dryer, oily skin can
still be a problem even during the middle stages of life, often
referred to as 'middle age
acne'. The up-side of oily skin is -
it ages more slowly.
Skin Care for Oily Skin
First, let's look at what NOT to do:
Do not wash your face more than once or twice a day.
Do not use soap to wash your face.
Do not use strongly astringent products (products that leaf
your face feeling dry and dehydrated).
Now let's look at what TO do:
Use a complete, natural
skin care regime.
Two or three times a week use a deep cleansing mask
specifically formulated for oily skin. Wildcrafted's Green
Earth Medicine Facial Clay has been specifically formulated
for oily skin and includes ingredients such as Green Clay and
Niaouli Hydrosol which are beneficial in treating your oily
skin.
Wash your face no more than twice a day using a natural pH
balanced cleanser. Wildcrafted's Lemon Cleanser uses
ingredients such as essential oils of Lemon and Lavender blended
with Jojoba oil to cleanse, freshen and restore your skin.
Use a toner that is appropriate for oily skin. Wildcrafted's
Wild Herb Toner makes use of Witch hazel and Juniper
Berry, which condition and tone the skin, while Grapefruit and
Niaouli invigorate the skin prior to moisturising.
Use a moisturiser designed specifically for oily skin.
Wildcrafted's Avocado Day Crème contains wholesome oils
like Wheatgerm and cocoa butter that moisturise and hydrate the
skin without leaving a greasy feeling and essential oils of
orange blossom and lemon to cleanse and soothe.
Use your natural skin care regime every single day.
Ensure your diet is very high in vegetables and very low in
fatty foods.
Drink plenty of water each and every day!
