ADD THE OILY SKIN DEAL TO MY CART Oily skin has a shine on it and tends to have enlarged pores with blackheads. There are no dry areas at all but excess oils that have dried on the skin around the nose can cause flakes to form there. The first basic rule for oily skin care is to keep the skin clean so acne-causing bacteria is killed or kept to a minimum. You must unclog the pores by cleansing to prevent breakouts. Tepid water is recommended to keep the skin oil free. Clay masks are great for detoxifying and cleansing the skin. Our Green Clay with Cucumber Mask is healing, astringent, refreshing, softening and anti-inflammatory! Try mixing this dry clay with yoghurt for a very revitalising mask for oily skin. Other symptoms of oily skin include: Blackheads Whiteheads Open pores Dull skin tone Coarse look to the skin Greasiness   Causes include: Oily skin can be heredity Hormone levels Hot or cold weather with low humidity levels. Long exposure to heating or air conditioning can stimulate excess oil production.  Treating your skin to long or frequent showers or baths using hot water and harsh soaps.  Wrong cosmetics for your skin type Contraceptive pill  Prevention and Cure: At LanaB we suggest the following products from our range and the following skin care tips to control oily skin. Firstly we recommend  cleansing the skin with our  Foaming Facial Cleanser for Oily Skin. This cleanser contains specific ingredients to cleanse and balance oily skin. We have added Yarrow Extract to this cleanser to capitalise on it's astringent qualities for oily skin types. The addition of Lime Essential Oil helps the skin with it's antibacterial properties making this combination a gentle yet very effective step in controlling oily skin and the pimples that can go with it. Secondly toning the skin with our Natural Freshener/Toner in Citrus helps removes any last traces of cleanser, adds extra balancing properties in the form of witch hazel and prepares the skin for the moisturiser. Lemon and Lime essential oils help balance and prevent extra oils being produced by the skin, making them ideal ingredients for oily skin. The third and final step in the process is to add moisture to the skin. At LanaB we not only do this but we also add active ingredients to our moisturisers that are beneficial for each skin type. For oily skin we recommend using our Fresh Face Lotion for oily skin that contains added yarrow extract. Yarrow stimulates the regeneration of damaged skin cells and thus treats the cells so they surface in good condition, it is also an astringent which gently controls excess oiliness. Lime Essential Oil cools and also helps clear oily skin gently. Don't use harsh soaps which can aggravate oily skin. Try natural soaps that don't strip the skin of natural oils and make the skin over compensate.   Oily skin can often be treated successfully by the above methods however if the problem persists or is severe then it might be best to get professional advice and care.
