Oily Skin
Oily Skin
Your skin produces excess oil, it can be an all over shine or t zone with larger visible pores. These areas can have breakouts or large areas covered in acne. Your first inclination might be to exfoliate to reduce oil and help your pore size but this usually increases oil production as it damages the skin, it’s ph and microbiome. This can contribute to over growth of bacteria and infection. Oily skin needs to be properly hydrated and as we age oil rich skin is a beautiful quality that ages more slowly and just needs to be balanced to make it work for us. The key is the provide the skin with enough hydration it doesn’t need to over produce oil to compensate for what is feels it is lacking.

Ready to get your skin glowing? Here are some tips to get you started!
1) Hydrate! Be mindful to drink enough water. Flushing the body and staying hydrated helps keep skin clear and balance hydration from the inside. You don’t wanna open up your pores before loading on product in the morning!
2) Do not over wash. Oily skin does not need to be stripped it is crying for more moisture, just the right kind. So don’t continually try to remove oil. Let’s replace with the right kind.
3) Eat the rainbow. Eating a whole lot of veggies, especially those dark leafy greens will give you a good dose of vitamins. Along with fish oils or hemp, flax and walnuts will provide the building blocks for healthy skin cells. Vitamin A and Zinc also help a whole lot to support healthy skin function.
4) Moisturize Smarter, not Harder. I know what you're thinking, why add more moisture onto an already greasy face? But the reason your skin might be so oily is because it's working extra hard to hydrate. Try using an oil face cleanser or moisturizer before bed. This will help your skin relax and give it the hydration it may well be asking for.
