The Eternal Search For The Best Oily Skin Care Products

By Peter Albertonach

Do you suffer from oily skin? If so you've probably been searching for some great oily skin care products that can deal with your problem. Lets have a look at the nature of oily skin and see what can be done to provide good oily skin care.

Your skin produces it's own oils. This occurs in the sebaceous glands and the oil produced is called sebum. Production of natural oils occurs at different rates for different people, some people suffer from dry skin because their skin does not produce enough natural oils.

For sufferers the result is often a film of oil across the surface of your face and sometimes an increase in acne and blackheads.

There's many skin care product targeted at oily skin. Sadly many do not work very well and it's also true that the best oily skin care products aren't made for oily skin at all.

There's a number of problems with big name oily skin care products. The first of these problems is that they contain mineral oil. Mineral oil is a petrochemical product that is a byproduct of the distillation of crude oil and it's use has been linked to health problems including skin allergies and skin irritation. It is so common in care products because it is extremely cheap.

Mineral oil smears across the surface of the skin, clogs pores of the skin and can lead to an increase in acne. If you're seriously interested in quality skin care products always look for mineral oil on the label and reject any products that contain mineral oil.

Secondly there are many anti aging products that contain alcohol. Alcohol dries your skin. If you have an oily skin problem you might think it fair to assume that anything that dries your skin must be good. In fact the reverse is true. Drying the skin actually stimulates the skin to produce more oil and can worsen the problem.

Most modern anti aging products are not good for oily skin just as they are not good for other skin types. In fact the best natural oily skin care products are not manufactured for treating oily skin at all. It's just that they use ingredients which are equally good for all skin types.

Natural skin care products do not contain harsh chemical ingredients such as mineral oil and alcohol. The very best natural anti agin products contain such ingredients as extracts of seaweed, specialised formulations of Coenzyme Q10 and a particular patented ingredient manufactured from the wool of sheep. These products do not encourage the overproduction of skin oils and work exceptionally well on all skin types.

The company that manufactures these products doesn't make any oily skin products, in fact it doesn't produce products for any particular skin type. It produces a range of high quality in care products that work on all skin types.

There's 2 things you need to do if you suffer from oily skin. The 1st thing is to avoid big name skin care products containing alcohol and mineral oil. The 2nd thing is to find natural skin care products that contain special ingredients that are effective in promoting optimum skin health for all skin types.
