Do you need special oily skin care products or not?

Do you have oily skin? If so you’re probably searching for some good natural oily skin care tips. Today we would like to consider oily skin care. The first thing to discuss is exactly what oily skin is.

The skin produces it’s own oils. This occurs in the sebaceous glands in the skin and the oil produced is known as sebum. Where the sebaceous glands are overactive production of natural sebum is in excess of what is needed by the skin and therefore the skin has an oversupply of natural oil. This can result in oil on the surface of the skin which produces an oily or waxy feel, and can even result in an increase in acne and blackheads.

The good news is that oily skin is actually slower to suffer from the effects of ageing. For example wrinkles develop slower on oily skin than they do on dry skin.

So what is a good regime of skin care for oily skin? What oily skin care products should you be using? And, most importantly, are there natural oily skin care products to care for your skin and promote optimum skin health whilst avoiding increasing the problem?

First let’s consider some basic components of good skin care. Oily skin can have some slightly different cleaning requirements than dry skin for a good skin care routine.

The first thing to remember is that, contrary to what you may think, you ought not be attempting to remove skin oil by means of strong soaps and chemical products. If you strip away too much oil from your skin you dry your skin and this can actually promote even more production of sebum, thereby leading to an increased problem.

There are many soaps and other types of facial cleansers on the market that will strip away the oil from your skin, often because they contain harsh or chemical ingredients. Look for a natural soap that contains no chemical ingredients and when you find one that works well for you and doesn’t produce any skin irritation then use that one.

Washing your face regularly with a good soap can help reduce the effects of skin oil.

If it comes as a surprise to you that many soaps and other personal products contain harsh chemical ingredients then read our article about dangerous skin care products.

It’s also worth avoiding extremely hot showers for the same reason. Very hot showers strip away some of your natural skin oils and this too can lead to drying of the skin promoting more oil production.

Then you need to look at the skin care products you are using. Many skin care products, like soaps, have harsh chemical and petrochemical ingredients that are not good for your skin and which you should avoid. Top quality natural oily skin care products do not contain these ingredients.

One of the main culprits when it comes to good skin care for oily skin is mineral oil. Many mainstream big brand skin care products contain mineral oil. This is a petrochemical product and is in fact the byproduct of the distillation of crude oil. It is used in many products because it is extremely cheap. Take a few bottles of skin care product from your cupboard now and see if mineral oil is listed on the label.

Mineral oil forms a layer of oil on the skin and clogs the pores. This just exacerbates the problem.

The same goes for any skin care products containing alcohol. Alcohol can dry the skin and, as we have already mentioned, drying the skin is actually counter productive.

You need to select your skin care products with care. Many people assume that they need to find oily skin care products. This is far from the case. What you need to do is to find top quality skin care products that are equally good to use on all skin types. Skin care for oily skin does not require special products if you are using the right products.

The best natural skin care productsare in fact equally good to use on all skin types. That is because the ingredients used in these products do not contribute to increased skin oiliness.

Here is an example of some of the ingredients that are found in the best skin care products for oily skin, as well as other skin types.

1. Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10. You may have heard of Coenzyme Q10. This is a substance very much like a vitamin that is found to all the cells in our bodies.

As our body ages the stores of Coenzyme Q10 found in our cells reduces and this reduces the efficiency of it to protect, amongst other things, your skin health.

In particular the actions of the sun on our skin destroy a lot of Coenzyme Q10 in our skin cells. UV radiation is extremely damaging to Coenzyme Q10. That is one of the reasons why we strongly suggest on this website that you avoid excessive exposure to the sun.

Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 is an active form of Coenzyme Q10 which is not destroyed by UV radiation and which therefore works extremely well to protect your skin cells. Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 penetrates very deeply into the skin and helps restore levels of Coenzyme Q10 in your skin cells.

Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10  contains, amongst other things, Coenzyme Q10. It is considered to be the most effective form of Co Q10 available on the market.

2. Cynergy TK. Cynergy TK is a patented ingredient used only in the finest skin care products available. It is made from the wool of sheep and works extremely well at improving overall skin health including skin firmness and elasticity. It reduces the incidence of lines and wrinkles and reduces inflammation in sensitive skin.

It works equally well on all skin types.
