Oily Skin Care Therapy Product
From LoveToKnow Skincare
If you're all too familiar with a shiny t-zone and blotting sheets are your number one beauty product, you might benefit from an oily skin care therapy product. Formulated to combat excess oil and control shine, these types of products can mean the difference between an uncontrollably slick surface and a fresh face!
The Trouble with Oil
Besides the obvious problems it presents (namely all that uncontrollable shine and all of that makeup sliding off your face into veritable oblivion), oily skin can truly be a nuisance. Ask anyone who's invested hundreds of dollars on skin care products that promise all manner of lofty good deeds: From ridding you of excess sebum forever to providing you with radiant, model-perfect skin in a matter of weeks, you're practically ready to slap the product on right there in the store.
The problem is that overactive sebaceous glands just love to wreak havoc with your skin, no matter what you might do to stop them in their tracks. That means you might love soaking up the oil with those useful blotting sheets, but you're not doing anything to stop the problem for good. A medication such as Accutane may well halt the production of cystic acne, but it won't get rid of the underlying problem.
In order to aggressively attack this type of skin, it's important to do so with caution. After all, you are dealing with your skin; it's a delicate organ and deserves all the care and attention you can give. The best way to keep oily skin under control is to adopt a product regimen that is gentle yet effective. This may ultimately require some trial and error sessions on your part, but in the end your skin will thank you for feeding it just the products that are appropriate for its type.
Selecting an Oily Skin Care Therapy Product
A quick stroll through the skin care section at your local drugstore or Sephora is more than enough to assure you of the products you have at your disposal. Whether you're hoping to pick out just a few inexpensive items or are planning to spend the big bucks, you'll probably find just what you need. But which products are truly the ones you need? These days, there's more to select from than ever before! A simple skin care regimen can instantly turn high-tech, therapeutic or botanical with the addition of a few of today's newest offerings.
Tools
Skin care isn't limited solely to liquids, gels and scrubs. The market is fast becoming saturated with technologically advanced products designed to rid you of oil and acne. Here are just a few items available now.
- Clarisonic Skin Care Brush is a gentle brush cleanser that massages deeply and efficiently to remove oil and makeup, clear the pores and loosen dirt. Considered more effective than traditional cleansing methods, this brush is said to reduce oil significantly and is gentle enough even for the most sensitive skin.
- Zeno Pro Acne Clearing Device combats one of oil's most ferocious partners – acne. With a few painless zaps of this heated device directly to the pimple (through a metal pad), the blemish will begin to clear up. Though it's not cheap, it's highly effective and has been cleared by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA).
Mattifiers
Oily skin practically demands relief from the slickness that constantly coats it. Relief can be found in one of the many mattifying products available today.
- Decleor Aroma Purete Matt Finish Skin Fluid soaks up the oil in an instant. Not only does it leave skin feeling fresh and smooth, it also minimizes imperfections and eliminates dead skin cells. The result is healthier skin that retains optimal moisture levels.
- Lancome Pure Focus T-Zone Mattifier is a revolutionary type of product that applies like a gel and dries to a natural powder finish. In addition to leaving the skin matte and soft, it tightens pores and leaves the skin feeling refreshed. This product is ideal to wear beneath makeup; simply allow it to dry before applying any color cosmetics.
Treatments
Don't let the scientific names scare you away – these ingredients are just what the doctor orders when oil gets out of control.
