Oily SkinThe Gift… Slow AgingThe Challenge… Oil Slicks
These glands are located in the middle level of your skin ~ the dermis. They fill nearby follicular pores with sebum and the oil then works its way to the skins surface. On your skins surface, the oil seals in moisture and keeps your skin hydrated. This is the main reason that people with oily skin tend to not develop old-looking skin as quickly as other skin types. When too much oil is produced it can cause the skin to look greasy, slick or dirty. Too much oil doesn't work well with make up. On top of all that...Oily complexions are often susceptible to clogged pores, blackheads and a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin.
Cleanse by first splashing your face with warm water, then applying the cleanser in circular motions all around your face for about 1 minute. This way you allow the cleanser to work into your pores and dissolve oil. When cleansing, massage your face well with your fingertips, using an upward and outward motion. Rinse with very warm water and then dry with your favorite fluffy towel. Anti-Aging skin care for oily skin also calls for regular exfoliation of dead skin cells. These dead skin cells help clog pores and harbor bacteria that cause inflammation.. Using a gentle exfoliating cleanser at least twice a week will reduce the likelihood of blemishes.
What? Moisturize Oily Skin?Because an oily complexion often feels moist to the touch, many people avoid using moisturizers, because they think they will only make matters worse.Oil and moisture are not the same things, and the older you are, the more you need to use a moisturizer even if your skin is oily. The oiliness of your skin will seal in the moisture you have - but won't replace the moisture that you lose, particularly as you age Your skin needs moisture to balance itself and slow oil production. Moisture is the secret to delaying the appearance of old looking skin for as long as possible.
For your anti-aging skin care regimen, the kind of oil-based moisturizer that seals moisture in the skin would be counter-productive. The natural oils of your skin already do that. You will especially want to avoid the oil-based thick creamy moisturizers that could clog your pores. The right kind of moisturizer for you will say things like "for oily skin", "light", "water-based" or "oil-free". Your kind of moisturizer is the type that attracts moisture to the skin rather than sealing moisture in. You may also see the term "noncomedogenic" which means it won't clog your pores or cause acne. You will want to see ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin or lactic acid. Moisturizers with these ingredients should work well for keeping your skin's youthful appearance. Should you need stronger anti-aging properties to repair wrinkles or add collagen there are several Anti-Aging Serums that add moisture as well as provide anti-aging benefits. Serums are usually thinner and are absorbed into the skin very quickly. The active ingredients are more concentrated so they are very effective with consistent use and usually they are somewhat more expensive.
Sun ProtectionYour regimen of Anti-Aging Skin Care must include Sun Protection. I read an article in a Harvard Medical Report that stated directly that "it isn't advancing age that causes old skin - it's the damaging effects of the Sun." For oily skin you only need to make sure that...
