From $15.00

When people talk about oily skin, they usually think of hot and sweaty summers, or super cold winters when your body doesn’t know whether it’s hot or dry. But perhaps the most difficult time to manage oily skin is during the fall, when the seasons – and your body – are changing.
And though oily skin may seem like a silly topic to discuss during fall, it’s not. That’s because oily skin can lead to runny makeup, breakouts, and self-esteem problems that can leave short and long term tolls on your mental and physical health. (1)
But researchers are discovering the secrets to conquering oily skin during the problematic fall months, and new ALL-NATURAL SOLUTIONS are eliminating the symptoms oily skin has caused for so long.
In this blog we talk about the challenges of oily skin during fall, and how to enjoy HEALTHY and BALANCED SKIN all fall long!
The first thing to know about oils and skin is that oil is not the enemy. In fact, you need oil to preserve your skin and maintain adequate moisture. Oil is so important that having an adequate bodily oil supply is associated with less wrinkles and thick, healthy skin.
Another important thing to remember is that everybody’s skin is different. Your skin reacts to conditions differently, and can produce varying amounts of oil, making universal recommendations difficult to judge. However, there are many TIPS and TRICKS to overcoming oily skin, and they start with you and the skincare choices you make. (2)
Another important thing to remember about oily skin is that it’s completely normal. One of the most important things you can do is avoid certain over-the-counter products, and to instead opt for ALL-NATURAL non-comedogenic products that will rinse off easily, without being harsh or scrubbed roughly onto your skin. (3)
Over-the-counter skincare products don’t always target oily skin in the fall. In fact, many common ingredients in over-the-counter skincare products are simply too heavy on the skin, catalyzing breakouts and acne. And even when over-the-counter skincare products say their products won’t clog pores, it's still possible that your skin can react negatively to their artificial ingredients and chemicals.
Pertaining specifically to the cooler fall temperatures, your skin tries to counter dryness with increased oil production, as it can’t really produce its own natural moisture. This is why it’s so important that you don’t over-do it when washing your face, helping you to avoid tight and dry skin that's in desperate need of moisture. (5)
This brings us to one of the most important tools to balancing your skin this fall – NORMALIZING OIL. In fact, even though it may seem counter-intuitive, applying healthy oil to your face actually removes makeup, dirt, and the excess oil you don’t want, while still providing your skin with the hydration boost it needs. (6)
As far as how fall specifically causes problems for those with oily skin, you need to look at the climate, including the transition from humid to dry, and hot to cold. This transition affects all skin types, and can cause flakiness and dryness, even for those with oily skin. To fight this, it’s important to use an ALL-NATURAL MOISTURIZER that will counter any potential moisture loss you may suffer.
Another great way to balance oily skin in the fall is by EXFOLIATING. Exfoliating balances your oil levels, helping to provide your skin with balance and radiance to ensure a healthier-looking and more vibrant face. (7)
When implementing these potentially new elements into your skincare routine, be sure you’re not using any products with menthol, camphor, perfumes, or colorants, as these and other chemicals and artificial ingredients in over-the-counter skincare products can actually dry your skin out even more, which can lead to an overproduction of oil. (8)
Another important thing to look at is what you do after your wash. Simply blotting your face dry with soft towels is essential once you wash your face. Using rough towels can actually cause your skin to produce additional sebum.
You also need to be mindful of chemical acids that over-the-counter manufacturers may use to specifically target acne-prone skin. These acids include benzoyl peroxide and glycolic acid, which can be irritating to the skin. It’s best to GO ALL-NATURAL, and prevent the irritation before you ever need to remedy it. (10)
These acids can also be dangerous by specifically damaging your acid mantle – also known as the layer of your skin that’s specifically used for natural moisture – which then activates your sebum glands, making your pre-existing skin problems worse. (11)
