Oily/Combo Skin
Type
Overproduction of sebum
[oil] is often responsible for the pimples, blackheads and
whiteheads normally not seen with other skin types. Other factors
contributing to oily skin are hormonal fluctuations, seasonal
changes or a reaction to skin treatments or cleansing products.
Oily
skin tends to be thicker with visibly large pores and a shiny
appearance. These surface conditions attract dirt and bacteria that
cause blemishes. Extra attention is required to ensure oily
skin remains clean and healthy.
In an effort to balance
itself, oily skin tends to produce an abundance of sebum resulting in enlarged pores and oily, shiny skin. Oily skin benefits
most from a thorough cleansing and exfoliation. A daily skin care
program eliminating blemish causing bacteria without drying the
skin is essential. The optimal balance for oily skin is achieved by
removing impurities, gently exfoliating and adding botanicals and
extracts to work to calm and balance.
