Oily Skin Care Tip

... For Natural Shine Control

Looking for an oily skin care tip? Shiny face? Prone to blemishes? You need help! Follow these guidelines for oily skin care... zap the shine and prevent the zits!

All skin care, dry to oily, requires a gentle hand and a gentle product. I personally use and recommend only pure, natural skin care products.

With this in mind, follow the suggestions below...

Oily Skin Care Tips

• Gently wash your face twice a day with a mild, natural product.
• Follow cleansing with a toner to tighten pores and improve skin quality.
• Choose water-based cosmetics. Oil-based make-up tends to aggravate oily skin, opening the door to acne and blemishes. Many find mineral cosmetics ideal for oily/acne prone skin.
• Remove make-up before you go to bed ... always! Make this a rule you never break. If you cleanse your face morning and night, you have this covered.
• Use facial blotting papers to soak up midday shine. These absorbent papers were first used by Japanese women, centuries ago, to care for their beautiful porcelain skin. These absorbent papers are economical, convenient, and very effective at removing oil. Plus they won’t disturb make-up. Gently press along the T-Zone.
• Apply a clay mask once or twice a week. (Read: Mask Oily Skin Treatment )

Is your skin prone to acne? Everyone can benefit from the following advice, but it is especially important to help combat acne...

• Eat a healthy diet, including lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. But don’t feel guilty about eating a piece of chocolate. Chocolate is not responsible for acne. Find more information on healthy eating here: Healthy Foods for Skin.

• Drink 8-10 glasses of pure water per day. An overall healthy habit, it is particular helpful in flushing impurities from your skin. Need more incentive to drink up? Read the Benefits of Drinking Water for Skin.
• Take time to relax and unwind. Again, this goes for everyone of course. But there is a definite correlation between stress and acne. Put more fun in your life... it'll show on your face!

For safe, effective natural skin care, check out Mountain Rose Herbs . They offer high quality, all-natural products. There are no parabens, synthetics, artificial colorings, or fragrances in their products. There's also no fancy labeling or packaging. It's strictly down to the basics. Safe, non-toxic products that you can purchase with both beauty and health in mind. Economical, too!

Their facial scrub is beneficial for both oily skin and acne. It can be used as a scrub and/or a facial mask. For a stand alone facial mask that excels at keeping oily and acne-prone skin clean, try Fullers Earth Clay Mask. This 100% natural clay product has exceptional absorption properties... it really sucks up the oil!

(It does, however, have a lightening effect on the outer layer of skin. For this reason, some prefer the French Green Clay Mask, another excellent choice for oily skin.)

Oily skin is not something you can "cure." But you can effectively deal with it. Make each oily skin tip a habit. You'll see a definite improvement in the appearance of your skin.
