Over-oily skin is a
particular problem with teenagers and is usually caused by hormonal
activity that increases the production of sebum (oil) that can clog
pores, allowing spots or blackheads to form. However, an oily skin
does not have to mean a problem skin. A well cared for oily skin ages
better than other skin types because it is well lubricated and
provides a natural barrier against the environment.
It is very important
that oily skin is well cared for to maintain a clear complexion. Many
people are under the impression that an oily skin should be "dried
out". |

Some products available on
the high street such as strong antibacterial washes, soaps and astringent
toners can cause more problems than they solve. It has been shown that
removing oil from the skin's surface stimulates the glands into producing
more oil to correct the "dryness". This condition is know as "reactive
seborrhoea". The dry feeling produced on the surface of the skin is called
"dehydration" which indicates a lack of cell moisture rather than a
decrease in oiliness. Most problem skin sufferers are unaware of the
difference!
By using the wrong products
dehydration can continue for many years and lead to the development of
pimples and blackheads, a coarse skin surface, feeling of tautness,
redness and flaking, all of which give the skin an older appearance due to
the lack of surface elasticity.
Improving the condition of oily skin takes time and there are no overnight
results. Skin that has been damaged, particularly in the lower layers,
will take time to heal. It is important to be patient but there are some
effective "DO's and DON'Ts"
DO! :
DON'T :
-
squeeze! This causes
permanent scars and pushes bacteria and dead cells back into the skin
-
use products that cause
your skin to dry, redden or flake
-
expect short cuts to
work. There is no quick solution.
OUR ADVICE FOR THE
TREATMENT OF OILY AND BLEMISHED SKIN IS SIMPLE:
a) attend to your skin for just ten minutes each day.
b) choose only the best and well co-ordinated products.
Treat your skin in the morning and evening to cleanse, refresh and apply
Systeme Active products to reduce blemishes and "retrain" you skin to
produce less oil. The evening is the most important time of all because
during the night the body builds fresh new cells to replace old ones and
the skin will expel waste matter. These dead cells need to be gently
removed from the pores so that the pores do not become blocked as this
causes blackheads and spots. The new natural ingredients in the Systeme
Active range will clear your skin without causing the dryness or flakiness
that so many high street products can cause.
On our website much of the information is about acne but not all
school-age spots will result in acne so we have put together a special
range of products known as "Problem Solver" that are particularly suitable
for teenage oiliness and blemishes. The Problem Solver range consists of:-
Purchased individually
these products would normally cost over £70.00 but the Problem Solver
range will be available only to Infomat users at a special price of £45.00
plus post and packing of £3.50.
The routine is very straightforward: At night: cleanse with Foaming Facial
Wash, putting a small amount in the palm of the hand and using the
Cleansing Brush and warm water to apply to the face. Rinse well and then
apply a few drops of Skin Tonic on dampened cotton wool all over the face.
Follow this with the SA Serum applied to any spots.
In the morning: cleanse with Foaming Facial wash as before and follow with
Skin Tonic on dampened cotton wool. Follow this cleansing and toning
routine with a light application of the ADM Moisturiser. ADM stands for
"all day matt" and is designed to prevent the skin from becoming shiny
during the day whilst protecting it from environmental influences.
