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.

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.

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.

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.

Those trying to get the condition under control for the first time often all too easily succumb to a major skin sin- failing to moisturise.

In order to keep skin as healthy as possible, it’s necessary to moisturise morning and night- this will help to keep skin properly hydrated and looking and feeling its best.

Some individuals with excessively oily skin wrongly believe that moisturiser will make the skin even more oil prone, and that skipping this part of the skincare regime will help to keep the condition under control, although this couldn’t be further from the truth.

There are lots of different types of moisturisers on the market at the minute which cater for every skin type- and excessively oily skin is no exception, so there really is no acceptable excuse for giving it a wide berth.

Dermalogica Active Moist is a popular product with those with excessively oily skin, as its oil free formulation thoroughly hydrates without leaving a greasy residue behind, and as it absorbs so quickly you can be out of the door and ready to face the day in no time at all.

It’s fair to say that feeling as though your skin is excessively oily certainly isn’t the best way of giving confidence a boost, although as there are lots of great Dermalogica products out there which can help to combat the condition, enjoying complete skin confidence is well within your reach.

Whilst a suitable cleanser, toner and moisturiser will help to keep excessively oily skin under control, there are also several other types of products which can really help- with face masques being one.

Some individuals with oily skin refrain from using a masque, as they feel that it might contribute to the condition, although this certainly isn’t the case when you opt for a masque which has been specially developed for the skin type- such as Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque.

Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque assists in absorbing excess oil, refining and purifying pores and eliminating skin impurities- all of which play a huge part in reducing excess oil.

Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque not only helps to combat oiliness, but also helps to give skin a whole new lease of life- try it for yourself today!

Although you don’t need to spend the absolute Earth to get your mitts on good skin care products, as the state of your skin is at stake, it always pays to make quality investments- especially if your skin has extra needs such as the control of excess oil production.

However, you could invest in the most expensive products that money can buy and see little in the way of positive results if you’re not using these products properly. In fact, simply applying products without following the correct procedures and applying products to poorly prepared skin could actually make the condition worse.

Those who find themselves constantly doing battle with excessively oily skin can ensure that they’re getting the very most from their products though by investing in Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub.

Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub gently exfoliates skin to help to get rid of surface debris and make way for the perfect base for other products. The Skin Prep Scrub leaves skin more than ready to fully absorb your choice of Dermalogica products- whilst simultaneously soothing and overcoming excess oil stimulation.

Invest in Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub and rest assured that you’re getting more from your money.

Whether you enjoy more budget brands or enjoy splashing out on the best makeup products the cosmetics counter has to offer, the way in which you apply cosmetics and the state of the skin which you’re applying them to could make all the difference between makeup lasting the duration of the party and sliding off five minutes after you have left the house.

If you can afford to do so, investing in top quality makeup brushes can help to create a stunning look which will stand the test of time.

Ensuring that your skin is properly prepped can also have a huge impact on longevity. Before applying any cosmetics whatsoever, cleansing, toning and moisturising with suitable products is essential.

Ensure that any skin care products which you use don’t contribute to excessive greasiness or oiliness, as this is likely to see your cosmetics vanishing into thin air extremely quickly.

Dermalogica Active Moist is great as a base under makeup, and those with excessively oily skin can help to prevent a cosmetics landslide with Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion.

Party like there’s no tomorrow without worrying about the state of your skin.

As with every skin type, ensuring that you’re using a cleanser which cleanses effectively, yet which doesn’t strip the skin of essential oils is vital, and will go a long way in skin looking and feeling its very best.

One mistake which many people with oily skin make is using a product which is far too harsh, and which not only gets rid of surface oils but which also strips skin of those oils which are essential.

You don’t have to sacrifice the suppleness of skin though, as there are some great cleansers which can strike the right balance between removing excess oil and retaining essential oils which are key in keeping skin hydrated.

Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser is a must-have product for those who have skin with excess oil production, as it cleanses, soothes and refines skin effortlessly and effectively.

Used in combination with a suitable toner and moisturiser, Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser will go a long way in clearing excess oil and keeping shiny looking skin at bay, whilst simultaneously helping to reduce the chances of a breakout adding to skin woes.
