Make sure the products you are using are pH correct, which is so important to your skin. Our skin is natural about a 7.0 on the pH scale from 1-14. Most bar soaps or anti-bacterial soaps have a higher pH, which helps them to foam and gives you that squeaky clean feeling. People with oily skin especially like this feeling as it dries up and removes a lot of the oil from the skin. The problem is, in oily skin people whose skin already produces more oil than they need, by removing so much of the oil from the surface of the skin, the oil glands are sent a message to produce more oil and it becomes a viscous cycle of over drying the skin with high pH cleansers and the skin trying to defend itself by producing too much oil. In people with a dry skin which does not produce enough oil of its own, using a high pH cleanser such as soap only further dries out the skin. The oil on the skin is there to protect the skin from the environment and helps to combat aging. By using a pH correct product such as Arbonne, you are not sending your skin to extremes but instead are keeping it well balanced.

For Oily skin I would recommend ARBONNE INTELLIGENCE LINE. This is a 5-step system for the skin. It includes a pH correct cleanser that removes dirt and oil without stripping skin of its vital moisture barrier. An exfoliating thermal fusion masque that increases microcirculation and cell proliferation. It is a product that combines the benefits of a scrub and a masque for deep cleaning. The next product is a toner that helps to constrict pores without drying or upsetting the skins moisture barrier. Then an eye cream that is fast absorbing and contains light reflecting properties to help reduce puffiness and fine lines. Finally a day and night moisturizer that self adjusts to your skin and delivers however much moisture you need.

There is a specialty product in this line called a Personalizer. It is designed to absorb oil before you moisturize or apply make up. It helps keep the oil under control as well as keeping your foundation true to its color.

Here are a few other good things for your skin:

Diet affects everything in our bodies. It plays a vital role in how you look, feel and of course how you age.

Eating right to keep your skin soft, glowing and strong at any age:

·Orange/red fruits and vegetables: can include tomatoes, squash and carrots- these are packed with beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant that is essential for healthy skin, scalp and mucous membranes.
·Shellfish and fish: try salmon, crab, shrimp and lobster- contain astaxanthin, an extremely potent antioxidant that protects your skin from the damaging environment, helps prevent age spots and wrinkling.
·Nuts and seeds- these are rich in vitamin E which helps protect the skin from sun damage
·Citrus fruits- such as oranges, grapefruits, are high in Vitamin C. It is essential to collagen production, and it is the collagen that gives connective tissue strength and resilience.
·Unrefined whole grain- these could be wheat, barley, oats and rye- all contain silica, a mineral that helps to repair damaged skin, hair and nails. Silica helps to strengthen collagen and elastin.

Anti-Aging Super- Foods:
Top pick for this category include any deeply pigmented fruits and vegetables. This includes tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, berries and grapes, garlic, onions, green tea, soybean, cold-water fish and spices such as turmeric, cinnamon and cumin.
All of these are very rich in PHYTOCHEMICALS. These are the molecules that give the food the striking color, taste or smell. Their responsibility is to defend the plants against infection and environmental damage, and in humans they have shown to have anticancer activity. And, just like antioxidants, they help protect the body against harmful free radicals and vascular disease.

These foods also contain omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids help lower cholesterol, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation and facilitate weight loss. Dark leafy greens, cold water fish and soybean are an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids.
They are also considered “hot” foods – they help the body burn calories in the form of heat, just by eating them.

Three key elements to help your skin look its best:

·Avoid the damaging sun: with 90% of aging caused by environmental damage and sun exposure, ensure that you wear a product that contains a broad-spectrum sun block, and use it every day. Harmful sunrays penetrate clouds…so sun block is needed on cloudy days as well. Arbonne uses the latest in sunscreen technology in their day creams to ensure that you are protected from both the UVB and UVA rays.
·Practice good skin care: Using skin care products incorrectly can cause problems later in life. Learn how to remove make-up, and apply sunscreen to let skin breath. Follow up with exfoliation to encourage skin cell turnover, and finish with a light moisturizer to protect the skin’s water barrier.
·Don’t mix brands: With hundreds of skin care products launched each year, it’s no wonder that many of us try the latest products…however that can lead to skin irritation and the development of sensitive skin. Skin care products need time to work, and as your body becomes accustomed to the formulas …you will see benefit. Each brand develops products to work together for best results. Pick a brand and stick with it.

You may be using products that are too harsh for your skin. When you purchase products that say "for excessively oily skin", what may be happening when you use them is that they strip your skin of all oils, thus sending messages to your oil glands that your skin is TOO dry and they need to produce even MORE oil! Even oily skin needs a little oil so the protective layer (that keeps germs and pollutants out) is maintained. Don't ever use products that contain isopropyl alcohol, denatured (SD) alcohol, ethyl alcohol or excessive fragrances because they'll backfire on you! Instead, use good professional quality products that are designed to remove excessive oils but not ALL oils. Go to a professional skin care salon or spa for a consultation. You'll pay more for your products, but you'll get results!

If you STILL have a problem, it may be a hormonal issue and is best discussed by a dermatologist. In the meantime, you can use non-powdered blotting papers (the powder can clog pores) and oil-free/water-based foundations or mineral makeup, if you choose to wear makeup (even some guys who have excessive oiliness wear minerals to "soak" up the sebum!) and always wear a water-based sunscreen.

I in all hazard have the oiliest pores and skin you may desire to in all hazard have (with an inclination for cystic zits), so it could look spectacular that somebody with our variety of pores and skin could desire to apply something like the Cetaphil comfortable pores and skin purifier (heady scent-loose, non-comedogenic). I actual like it and in accordance to maximum dermatologists, it rather is ideal for gently removing sebum and different oils off your face without drying it out and stripping it of organic oils (which may make the floor crimson and irritate any zits much greater). you are able to purchase it at any community drugstore.
