 Care for Oily skin and Acne prone Skin

From Age 13+, Oily skin with enlarged pores in which sebum may accumulate in pore openings, darken due to oxidation and appear as blackheads.

When pore openings are clogged, the sebum residues will appear as whiteheads, When these residues become inflamed, we describe the condition as Acne, Areas of the face may be shiny, bumpy, scaly, red (especially in inflamed areas) with a dull, waxy, impure look.

What is the right approach for treating oily skin?

1. Light exfoliation for better drainage in order to release clogged pores.

2. Maintaining hygenic conditions on the skins surface.

3. All care products for this skin type should be non-occlusive oil-free formulations, in order not to further aggravate the condition.

4. Keeping the skin protected from damaging environmental factors such as pollution, smoking and free radicals.

5. This skin type does not usually need a moisturizer. It is well equipped by nature to maintain its own moisture, unless extremely drying medications such as "Accutane" are used.

6. Harsh degreasing "formulations" in cleansers are not recommended because they often provoke a vicious cycle of "re-fattening".

7. Temporary dryness due to environmental or other reasons may be dealt with by using a skin balancing emulsion.

NOTE: These treatment principles are relevant for your skin type regardless of the cosmetic products that you are using.

How to identify Seborrheic or Couperose Skin?

Delicate Oily Seborrheic has enlarged pores especially in the T zone area chin, nasal folds, the area between the eyebrows, and the scalp. Oily scales tend to accumulate in these areas and are often associated with redness, itchiness and discomfort. This is a "reactive" skin type especially to changes in climate(seasonal), unsuitable (especially occlusive) cosmetic preparations, and stress.

Fragile Skin with “broken” capillaries (Couperose) is usually dry, thin, blotchy, delicate skin with a network of visible capillaries close to the skin’s surface.

    Modern make-up concept has changed a lot. Now, you will find a working woman or a college going young girl flaunting a ‘no make-up' look. However, when it comes to the very special day of their life, i.e., the wedding day, no one wants to look simple and plain.
