Your Skin Tips
Your skin requires daily cleansing (preferably morning and night), oil and sebum-control.
You must exfoliate regularly to clear out dead skin and minimize pores.
You would benefit from a BHA (beta hydroxy acid) cleanser daily, like our salicylic acid based wash that effectively clears out dirt and oil inside the pore lining, not just on the surface of your skin.
Using products with harsh ingredients that dry out your skin may feel like the best solution, but in the long run, it will only exacerbate the problem.
Use lightweight gels and clear fluids that moisturize and hydrate skin without clogging pores.
6 Foods That Help Oily Skin
Cucumbers - Made up of mostly water, cucumbers are great for hydrating your skin and helping flush out harmful toxins that build up in your body. Cucumber’s anti-inflammatory properties help fight acne and blemishes. Additionally, cucumbers help facilitate the release of your bodies natural hormones, helping to stabilize things like oil production.
Oatmeal/whole grains - High in fiber foods, like oatmeal, (which contains beta-glucan, a very helpful fiber) keeps your body balanced on a daily basis. Not having regular bowel movements is a leading cause of skin issues including acne, oily skin, clogged pores and more. Potent antioxidants called polyphenols fight inflammation, redness and irritation associated with skin issues.
Bananas - High in key vitamins including Vitamin E, bananas are great at detoxifying the body. Regular consumption of bananas can help diminish pore size, which limits blackheads and acne.
Avocados - Containing large amounts of monounsaturated fatty acids, which fight secretion of excess oils, avocados help keep your skin clean. Loaded with fiber, avocados triple up with oatmeal and bananas to keep your body humming. Lastly, avocados are packed with carotenoids, which work to keep your skin’s texture, tone and density just the way it should be.
Oranges - We all know oranges have Vitamin C, which gives you a nice, healthy glow year round. Additionally, the citric acid in oranges helps dry out acne and blemishes, improving your skin’s natural tone. Lemons provide a similar benefit, along with oranges, by detoxifying your body, aiding in your skin’s natural appearance.
Coconut Water - The earth’s natural hydrator, coconut water, is extremely beneficial. Packed with key vitamins including magnesium, calcium, vitamin C and potassium, these ingredients work to keep your skin clear. Helps replenish electrolytes, hydrating your skin and fighting off dehydration which will cause excess oil production.
Things to Avoid
Products with alcohol, in particular, SD and denatured.
Emollient, cream-based products, these will only serve to create more oil and increase problems.
Too many dairy products, which are high in hormones, including testosterone. Testosterone activates the sebaceous gland, which produces oil, hence, giving your oily skin an even deeper shine.
Excess caffeine, which dehydrates you and causes your body to produce more oil to compensate.
