Advice For Caring For Oily Skin

November 30th, 2009 Suzi Sorenson

Whilst many skin care ranges offer alternatives depending on your skin type, it is often the case that there isn to alot of difference between the formulas for oily skin, dry skin and combination skin alterntives.

Hormonal shifts that occur as we reach puberty very commonly result in us having an oily skin type at this age. For most of us, the skin usually drys out as we get older, sebum production naturally reaches its peak in our teens and then slowly decreases with age. Good news maybe for anyone suffering with excessively oily skin.Pregnancy and the menopause can trigger hormonal imbalances which sometimes results in an increase in the production of sebum oil, leaving parts of the skin more oily.

Many people have what we call a combination skin type. This is when we have oily skin only in certain regions of the face, generally the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), and the other areas of the face are dry or normal.

The main factors influencing oily and combination skin types are: Heredity skin type factors Levels of hormones that influence the skin Cosmetics and skin care lotions Pregnancy Birth control Weather and Humidity.  Read more...

November 27th, 2009 Peter Albertonach

If you use a moisturizer right now is there mineral oil in it? Should there be mineral oil in moisturizers, and if there shouldn’t why not?

Mineral oil is derived from crude oil, in other words it’s a petrochemical product. It is a by product of the process of producing petroleum products. It is used in many skin care products and anti aging products, cosmetics and much more. Mainly because it is extremely cheap. You may also know it as white oil.

It may surprise you to know that many ingredients in big brand skin care products are also derived from oil.

According to the Cosmetic Safety Database mineral oil is used extensively in skin care products, anti aging products and cosmetics. It lists 454 different moisturizers that contain mineral oil, so chances are very high that the moisturizer that you use will have mineral oil in it.

And if you have a baby you’d know mineral oil really well, though it’s called baby oil, which is 100% mineral oil with a fragrance added.

And there’s more from the Cosmetic Safety Database. They say that mineral oil is linked to allergies, cancer, toxicity in biological systems in the body and irritation of lungs, eyes and skin.  Read more...

Different Ways To Produce a Tan

November 24th, 2009 Valleri Etats

There are three basic ways to achieve a tan and there are tanning lotions to assist you in every way. In truth there is only one way to achieve a real tan and the other two types are fake tans that temporarily give coloration to your skin. There are bronzers which act like a makeup on the skin and then there are tanning lotions that cause a chemical reaction on the skin to cause the production of color.

One of the biggest benefits of working for a real tan is the lasting effects. But for those who are naturally very light it is important to take care and not expose the skin to more UV rays than it is ready to handle. Avoid burning by tanning in short session under moderate conditions.

There are tanning lotions that many people use to accelerate the tanning process. These lotions contain moisturizing effects to keep the skin moist which increases the production of melanin. Exposure to UV rays very quickly dries the skin so is it important to keep the skin hydrated.  Read more...
