Dermalogica Skincare Blog

When you’ve spent precious minutes in front of the mirror in the morning or before a big night out with the girls, the last thing you’ll want is to look in the mirror just a short time later to find that it’s slid about or slid off.

Even though there are some fantastic long wearing cosmetics out there at the moment, you can’t expect cosmetics to magically do all the hard work, and you do need to do a little work yourself.

The products which have been applied to your skin prior to makeup application can often be a deciding factor on whether your makeup stays put or slides, and if you’ve used heavily oil-based products which haven’t been absorbed by the skin properly, almighty slide could be just what you’re faced with.

Similarly, if you have excessively oily skin and aren’t using skin care or cosmetic products which are suitable for this skin type, your makeup might not last the duration.

Dermalogica has many great products- including oil-free moisturisers and foundations and an oil control product- which can help your beautifully applied makeup last for hours.

So, skin which is excessively oily might not be a major health issue, but when you suffer from it, it can feel as though it’s taking over your life a little, and this is why it’s important to do something about it.

Feeling as though you’re a slave to your excessively oily skin definitely isn’t the best way to spend your waking hours though, and you’re sure to have far better things to do.

Here are a few pointers which you can follow which can really help to improve excessively oily skin and decrease the amount of time you spend dealing with it and worrying about it…

- Make sure you’re using a cleanser, toner and moisturiser specifically designed for oily skin.
- If you wear foundation, try to make sure that you’re using an oil-free product and apply no more than you really need.
- Blot throughout the day rather than applying more make up.
- Try adding an oil control lotion to your skin care regime- you’ll be surprised at how much a good lotion can help.

Dermalogica has a brill range of products specifically designed to keep excess oil under control, and these products can genuinely make a great deal of difference.

During the summer months, the beautiful sun is likely to be one of the only things which you want to shine- and shiny skin will most certainly be something which you want to avoid.

For those who suffer with excessively shiny and excessively oily skin even when temperatures are sub-zero though, keeping shiny skin at bay when the temperatures are soaring can be a lot easier said than done- and- if unpredictable rain showers weren’t enough- this could put a real dampener on your summer.

There are some great tips which you can follow and products which you can use which can really help you to avoid excess shine this summer though- leaving you feeling a lot more confident and able to enjoy everything the summer has to offer.

Keeping make up to a minimum will help you to avoid that dreaded shine, and keeping some oil blotting sheets handy can also really help.
Dermalogica products which can also be a magnificent help include their Oil Control Lotion, Oil Free Matte Block and Active Moist offerings.
With a little help from these products, you can avoid excess shine and enjoy whatever British summer we may be graced with.

Excessively oily skin can be just as tricky as excessively dry skin to control- that is, unless you know the right ways to control the condition.

Without the correct knowledge, and without being armed with the correct products to control excessively oily skin, it can feel as if you are constantly doing battle with the condition. Controlling it doesn’t have to be difficult, time consuming or expensive though, as there are lots of effective and affordable skin care products about.

One of the first things which you need to check is the products which you’re using as part of your daily skincare regime- especially your moisturiser. An oil free moisturiser- such as Dermalogica Active Moist- is ideal for those with excessively oily skin, as it won’t make the situation worse.

Investing in a product specifically designed to keep oily skin under control is a must too. Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion is an extremely popular product, and has gained scores of fans due to its ability to help keep skin looking matte throughout the day.

Enhance your knowledge and upgrade your skincare products, and you’re well on the way to taking total control over excessively oily skin.

When your skin suffers with excess oil production, it can be very difficult to keep the situation under control, especially when you’re not entirely sure which type of products you should be using. The days when you had to make do with generic skin care products designed for ‘normal’ skin are now firmly in the past though, as products which can help to keep skin looking matte throughout the day are now in abundance.

Using products which are designed for normal, combination or dry skin can lead to skin becoming extremely greasy, so however tempting it may be to reach for any old skincare products which happen to be lying around in the bathroom cabinet- think again.

Dermalogica has plenty of products which can help to oust the effects of over zealous oil production and which can help to keep skin looking matte for hours.

In addition to investing in a cleanser, toner and moisturiser designed to keep excess oil under control, there also other products which can be great at helping you achieve and maintain matte skin- such as the fantastic Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion.

Let Dermalogica assist you in ousting the effects of over zealous oil production, and flaunt magnificently matte skin.
