Just because you have oily skin doesn't mean you can't use face oils and reap all the benefits that these wonderful revitalising face oils have to offer. Oils naturally take longer to absorb than creams and moisturisers, so it can be beneficial to use them at night to allow your skin more time to benefit from them. It is also advisable to start with just a few drops so you can adjust the amount you need based on how your skin reacts.
Using a lightweight face oil for oily skin such as our Clear Skin Face Oil is generally better tolerated and well suited to all skin types. Lightweight oils can provide deep hydration to your skin without causing breakouts because they are more easily absorbed and won't clog your pores. You must be careful not to over-apply face oil, especially when it feels and smells as good as ours, because you may create an oil film that prevents your skin from breathing and can result in clogged pores and breakouts.
What Are Comedones?
Comedones are pores or hair follicles that have become blocked with bacteria, oil and dead skin cells that form bumps giving your skin a rough texture. There are different types of comedones ut the most common are open comedones, which are blackheads, and closed comedones are whiteheads (where the follicle is completely blocked). They are usually found on the forehead and chin of people that suffer from acne.
When looking to buy face moisturisers for oily skin you may often see them advertised as non-comedogenic oil for acne-prone skin, this simply means that the product contains ingredients that won't clog or block the pores on your skin. It is important to buy products that are non-comedogenic as it will definitely reduce the chances of pimples and acne developing.
Why Is My Skin So Oily?
Some people are naturally more oily than others and that can boil down to genetics. Hormones play a big part in oily skin, and hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy or menopause can play havoc with our faces, as most of us have probably experienced at some stage in our lives. However, there are other factors that contribute to oily skin, and these we have a chance to improve...
Dehydration and poor diet have never played a more prominent part in our health and well-being as they do today. Eating a well balanced, nutritional diet with plenty of fresh vegetables, and ensuring you drink an ample amount of water each day will not only make you feel better, but you will look better too. And regular exercise goes without saying - it will not only benefit your general health and fitness, but reduce stress and help you to sleep better - all factors that can help moderate oily skin.
But perhaps the worst thing for our faces is what we think is going to help the most - over-cleansing and using too many harsh skin-care products, which only serves to strip our skin of its natural oils and protective barriers, irritate it and potentially trigger an increase in oil production! Then we cover up the result with cheap make-up that is full of harmful chemicals, further exacerbating the problem.
