Cleansing The trick to prevent over production of sebum is to use a gentle, water-soluble cleanser with tepid (not hot) water. While it’s tempting to use harsh cleansers on oil prone skin, it can trigger the body to produce more sebum to compensate. Harsh cleansers coupled with hot water will dry up the skin temporarily but will stimulate more grease from the pore. There is a gentle ingredient used in cleansers called “Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate” that is gentle on skin and is water-soluble and safe to use even on children’s skin. It’s not the same ingredient as the infamous SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfate). This is a different ingredient. Moisturising If you have oily skin, a mattifying lotion or serum is best to control the shine if you want some moisture. If your skin can’t stand moisturizers, don’t use it – try a mattifying toner in place of a moisturizer but make sure that it doesn’t contain any alcohol as that will do more harm to the skin. If you have combination skin, only use the mattifying lotion or serum on areas that are oily (the T zone) and use a more moisturizing lotion or cream on the dry areas. It sounds like a hassle to include an additional product into the skin care routine but that is the best way to truly “balance” your skin type and your skin will look better for it. Plus buying two products will reduce the speed they're used up, saving you from buying too often. If you wear make up, there are many primers available on the market that are matte and helps your make up adhere to the skin. How about sunscreens? There are matte sunscreens available now that can also be used in place of a moisturizer (3 products in 1). Using a moisturiser with built-in sunscreen will save time. It also removes the hassle of putting two layers of product on your face. Matte products will also prolong an even complexion for longer. With sunscreen added for UV protection against wrinkles, it also provides a good surface for make up to adhere to, tripling as a primer. Cyren Moisturiser SPF15 Foundation If you sweat a lot or will be in a humid place, water-based foundations are the worse performing foundations – especially on oily skin. Not only do they slip (slowly settling in creases or rubbing off easily), they can also go a shade whiter in areas that are wet (forming white sweat droplets). So places like your nose, around the nose and forehead where sweat accumulates easily, little white dots will appear where water-based foundation is, making your skin look strange. How do you tell if your foundation is water-based? Check if the first or second ingredient is water or aqua. These foundations also wash off easily in water with minimal rubbing. The best foundations for humid conditions or if you have oily skin, are cream-to-powder foundations. Mineral powder foundations are fine too but they do not have the lasting or concealing power of cream-to-powder. There are also long lasting matte liquid foundations to consider which are also good. Pressed or loose powder are good to use in the beginning but are not suitable for touch ups during the day, because powder mixed with sweat, bacteria and sebum are great breeding grounds for pimples. Even if you use a spare sponge or brush to apply powder foundations, unless used sparingly, the result can end up looking patchy, dry or uneven. Copyright Cyren Organics
