The
Benefits of Oily Skin.
Studies
show that oily skin tends to age better than dry skin. It
usually has less wrinkles per square inch than dry skin of
the same age. Also, the problems associated with dry skin
are often more difficult to deal with than with an oily skin
type. Oily skin rarely looks chalky. It usually looks healthy
and vibrant. Foundation tends to look better after a few hours
on oily skin. Foundation often has a 'pancake' look or disappears
on dry skin after a few hours.
Stay
Away from Alcohol-based Products!
The most
common destabilizing factor for oily skin is the use of drying
alcohol or camphor. In
fact, many preparations for oily skin contains these ingredients.
Short-term they may dry the
area and therefore get rid of surface blemishes but long-term
they cause problems and
destabilize the skin's delicate balance. ESPECIALLY at fault
are the toners and astringents
on the marketplace because of the irritation they cause. Skin
care products that claim to be designed for oily skin types
usually contain irritating ingredients that are more harmful
than
helpful.
Many experts in skin care believe that alcohol toners are
not only ineffective, but are actually detrimental to the
skin. They are right, not because fresheners/toners should
not be used; but
that the type of alcohol or chemicals in the toners are damaging!
Fresheners/toners are using to remove residue after cleansing.
They definitely are beneficial when used properly and when
they contain the proper ingredients for the person's skin
type.
Skin
exfoliation is important for people with oily skin to reduce
the clogging of pores, which may cause acne.
