Special Considerations for Oily Skin

Medium to large pores, shiny appearance, tendency for blackheads and blemishes.

Raw and steamed fruits and vegetables have a cleansing, non congesting effect on oily skin. Animal fats and dairy products can aggravate an oily skin condition. Take lecithin as a supplement which can help to emulsify excessive oils in the body helping to prevent skin congestion and clogged pores.

Stress can stimulate oil production.

Cleanse once or twice a day with Rosa Fina Naked Beauty Nourishing Cleansing Milk.

Do not use soap as it is too drying and irritating which can stimulate oil production. Soap residue does not rinse well from the skin and can cause blocked pores and blemishes.
Avoid too frequent face massage which can stimulate oil production.

Avoid products that contain excessive alcohol (Barefoot Botanicals products contain a minimum of organic alcohol). Alcohol aggravates oily skin and dries it out. Prolonged use of alcohol-based products causes dehydration, pore enlargement and a leathery texture.

Too little sleep and chronic fatigue can aggravate an oily skin condition.
