Excessively oily skin is a relatively common skin complaint, although many people still struggle to keep the condition under control. Oily skin can be a problem whatever the time of year, although warmer temperatures can make things worse.

One of the ways in which many women with oily skin attempt to keep shine at bay is through the use of pressed or loose powder. Whilst applying powder at the start of the day is a great way of achieving a matte looking base, constantly re-applying it can make your skin feel heavy and look patchy and uneven.

Thankfully though, using powder isn’t the only way of getting rid of shine, and there are several other measures which you can take and products which you can use which won’t leave skin feeling clogged.

If you’re still using a regular moisturiser, swapping this for an oil-free product can make a really big difference, and skin will be moisturised just as effectively.

Keeping a supply of oil blotting sheets close to hand will also help you to wage war on oiliness. You can pick these up really affordably, and they help to soak up oil rather than cover it.

Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion is another great weapon in the battle against oily skin, and in addition to contributing to a long-lasting matte look it’s also great at minimising breakouts.

Reduce your reliance on powder- there are far better options out there.

If your skin is prone to breakouts, you will probably understand how difficult it can be to find products which can effectively clear your skin without contributing to an oily look.

There are many products on the market nowadays which promise to get skin back to its peak condition quickly, although the problem with many of these products is that they can leave a greasy residue on skin- which can not only feel uncomfortable, but can also leave pores even more clogged.

If you feel that your skin looks oily, your confidence can also take a hit, and for this reason it’s important that you find a product which can not only improve the overall look of your skin, but which will also keep it looking matte whilst it works its magic.

You don’t have to worry about spending days searching for the perfect product though, as Dermalogica Clearing Mattifier is just the job.

Dermalogica Clearing Mattifier is a 3 in 1 solution- in addition to clearing up breakouts and controlling shine, congestion is also reduced.

This fantastic product will help to give you instant skin confidence- and keep it sky high all day long.

Dermalogica Clearing Mattifier is your ultimate weapon in your fight against spots and shine, and you will be well on your way to victory from the first application.

It can be all too easy to neglect your skin care regime a little when you’re rushed off your feet, and whilst leaving your makeup on after a long night once in a blue moon can be forgiven, if you start to make a habit of this, the negative effects will soon start to show.

It’s fair to say that nobody wants skin which looks older than its years, and this is why so many people find themselves looking into procedures such as Botox after years of skin neglect.

However, if you make the effort to really look after your skin now, you won’t need to suffer painful and risky injections in the coming years.

Abandoning any area of your skincare regime can have unwanted and lasting consequences, which is why your skin should be one of the first things on your mind in the morning and one of the last things on your mind at night.

Using a good cleanser is vital in helping to keep breakouts at bay and reducing build ups in the pores. However, a good cleanser doesn’t necessarily mean a harsh one, as you don’t want to strip skin of essential oils and dry it out.

Toner is also a vital component of any skin care regime, and helps to hydrate skin after cleansing and prepare it for moisturiser. Skipping on toner could leave skin feeling dry and tight, and your skin might not be adequately prepared.

Moisturising every morning and night is a must, and has several benefits. One of the many adverse effects of regularly failing to moisturise is seriously dehydrated skin- which in turn can quickly develop into premature skin aging.

When you’re looking for the perfect products for your skin care regime, you can’t go wrong with Dermalogica, and their great range of cleansers, toners, moisturisers and specialist products are fantastic for all skin types.

With so many of us leading busy lifestyles nowadays, some things can start to fall by the wayside a little. If you feel snowed under with work from the moment that you step into the office to the moment you leave for the day, it’s highly likely that you barely have time to stop for lunch, never mind anything else.

However, when small things start to play on your mind, it really can have an effect on your productivity, and those with skin which is prone to breakouts can find that the state of their skin can play on their mind from 9-5.

When you have important clients to deal with and important meetings to attend, keeping your skin looking and feeling fresh can feel like a very tricky task, although there are actually some really quick and easy ways of achieving this- one of which is Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes.

Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes are specially designed to cater to the needs of breakout prone skin, and offer a convenient way of refreshing skin throughout the day. With a superb combination of balm mint, coneflower, camphor and Witch Hazel, excess oils and bacteria are swiftly eliminated- leaving you with much fresher skin.

These wipes are extremely quick and easy to use, and won’t take precious minutes out of your busy schedule- which makes them a working week essential.

When spots or blemishes appear, it can be all too easy to reach for the thickest foundation and concealer in a bid to cover them up and feel better about your skin.

However, unless you’re extremely careful, layering these products on the skin could actually make it look worse, and lead to any blemishes looking much more noticeable. The majority of standard foundations and concealers aren’t designed for those with blemish prone skin, and although they might cover skin up temporarily, many are highly oil-based, which could leave skin looking incredibly oily.

With temperatures still relatively warm in many areas of the UK, wearing a heavy base can feel a little uncomfortable and the heat can start to make it look less than its best in a very short space of time.

The natural look is always far more attractive than makeup which looks inches thick, and with Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment, you can embrace the natural look whilst effectively concealing blemishes and whilst also treating breakouts- which makes it a winner all round.

Unlike many other concealers, as Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment has a really light formulation, you won’t have to worry about skin feeling sticky and heavy by lunchtime.
