Many of you who suffer from oily skin tend to break out more often than
not. However many of you with oily skin are under the impression that
you constantly need to dab your skin, or use oil absorbing products in
order to obtain clear, shine-free, and acne-free skin.
However, I bet many of you reading this didn't know that when you dry
out your skin with harsh chemicals and alcohol, you are doing more harm
than good.
Oil is produced because the skin is looking to breathe; it's looking
for moisture, so it creates its own. If you were to moisturize your
skin, instead of deprive it from moisturizers, you will transform the
appearance of your skin, and doing so is not hard at all.
When I was younger, I used to use Clearsil pads, and other acne
fighting creams and serums. I still had oily skin, got breakouts and
never could fathom why.
I had a beauty advisor advise me to skip out on buying those products,
and instead buy a facial moisturizer. I thought she was nuts. I thought
my face had too much moisturizer, and that was why it was oily and
would break out.
I was dead wrong. I took her advice and began a short journey to
better, healthier looking skin, and a clearer, softer complexion. I
would never turn back, and I would never ever again use acne fighting
products that contain alcohol.
If you really want to go the extra mile for a smoother complexion, I'd
suggest substituting normal moisturizers, with anti-aging moisturizers.
However when buying such lotions, make sure they are made for your
face. Some lotions are to be used on your body only, and although you
may not think there is a difference, there is!
My favorite must-have product for those of you looking for baby soft
skin, and a complexion to die for is $50, but it is Estee Lauder's
Advances Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex. It may take dipping into
your bank account for this product, but it is definitely worth it! This
sweet diamond will not only repair your skin, but it will protect it and
get it ready for the future. It's an anti-aging serum that you add to
your face at night.
This is my favorite product for my skin because it works, and you can
see results quickly. Fine lines are smoothed out, my skin is not oily
anymore, and I noticed such a huge difference in 2 months that I
continue to buy this product whenever I run out. I apply it nightly, and
I suggest you do the same.
After letting the serum evaporate into my skin, I then coat the skin
with a light layer of Nutritious Vita-Mineral Moisture Milk, by Estee
Lauder.
Estee Lauder is my favorite company when it comes to my skin. I have
never had better results with any other company, and although the items
in their collection are pricey, they are worth every dime. This cream
will basically add a load of moisture to your skin, so your skin won't
have to produce its own natural moisturizer, which is oil!
In the morning I follow up with a day serum by Estee Lauder. They have
many to choose from, and I like all of them that I have tried. My
favorite however goes to DayWear Moisturizer. This moisturizer is more
moderately priced than the other items suggested, but it works wonders,
and will keep your skin oil-free for the majority of the day. You can go
the extra mile and buy the Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher,
but it's a lot more money.Its worth depends on how badly you want a
softer complexion. This one will give you faster results.
All in all, achieving a smoother complexion is not hard at all; you
will however want to throw out all of those products that contain
alcohol. Anything that dries up your skin will only cause your skin to
seep oil from your pores, which create acne.
For smoother skin, throw out all of those old products you have been
using, and get yourself a few nice day and night moisturizers with
anti-aging included. Your skin will thank you.
