From $15.00

One of the most common topics in the skin care world is exactly what acne is, where it comes from, and why some people suffer from it more than others. But what many people don’t realize is that there’s a particular spot on your face where you may suffer particularly from a buildup of oil and breakouts. Where is this place?
You’ve probably heard of your T-zone, and that’s for good reason, as your T-zone not only creates more oil than the rest of your face, but can also lead to more skin damage and clogged pores that can leave you reeling from breakouts and acne. (1)
But this oily part of your face doesn’t have to be a mystery anymore, as new ALL-NATURAL SKIN CARE PRODUCTS promise to not only BALANCE this tricky area of your face, but to also PREVENT acne in the future.
In this blog we talk about what your T zone is, how to manage it, and how to PREVENT OILY SKIN all winter long!
To be able to protect your T-zone, you first need to understand what your T-zone is. Your T-zone consists of many different parts of your face, including your forehead, chin, and nose. Your neck can also sometimes be included in your T-zone, as those with combination skin may see different areas of their face more oily than other’s.
You can probably best identify exactly where your T-zone is by simply metaphorically drawing a T across your face, or by looking at those areas of your face that are the most shiny and where you suffer from acne the most, even if the rest of your face is peeling or dry during the winter. (2)
Oftentimes, your T-zone can also include your brow and the skin above your lips. The most spacious part of your T-zone is your brow, which not only can become oily and difficult to manage along with your forehead, but can also be more susceptible to wrinkling and further skin problems winter can make worse.

To better understand why your T-zone is so susceptible to breakouts and acne, you need to better understand the oil on your face. Your skin’s natural oil – also known as sebum – is supposed to protect you and form a barrier over your skin. Unfortunately, your sebaceuous glands, which exit through your pores, can many times become off-balance, leading to an overproduction of sebum.

This is why it’s so essential that you not only wash your face with a GENTLE FACE WASH that will remove impurities without irritation, but also stay away from alcohol-based over-the-counter products, which actually facilitate a higher degree of oil production as a result of the subsequent imbalance to your skin. (5)
It’s also important that you don’t pop pimples on your T-zone, as the open wounds that are left behind are often dirty from your fingers, leading to potential infections on your already oily skin. These wounds – being on your T-zone – can be potentially even more dangerous and difficult to remedy than acne on the rest of your body. (6)
Although it may seem counterintuitive, it’s also important that you don’t forget to MOISTURIZE your skin, even if your T-zone is oily. MOISTURIZING your face helps to stave off irritation, while also boosting the effects of the rest of your ALL-NATURAL FACIAL ROUTINE.
It’s also important to monitor what products you do use, as the changes in the weather you’re currently experiencing can wreak havoc on your skin. And if you’re concerned about going ALL-NATURAL if you’ve been using the same products for a while, don’t be. It’s recommended that you make changes based on your skin’s progress and the current season you’re in – especially as we approach the holidays! (7)

Those with troublesome T-zones may also suffer from dryness from the cooler and harsher winter weather patterns. To better care for your skin without unintentionally boosting the oil level of your skin, be sure to find a MOISTURIZER that efficiently fights the indoor heating common in winter and adds a layer of protection to your skin. (8)
The debilitating effects of an oily T-zone and its worsening effects during winter can also be countered by using an ALL-NATURAL MASK. Using an ALL-NATURAL CLAY MASK can help to remove excess oil, while also controlling the production of oil in your pores. Specifically, CHARCOAL and CLAY MASKS are extra effective at targeting your problematic T-zone.
If you are prone to dryness, it’s important that you don’t dry out your skin too much, so it’s important that you closely monitor your skincare products, being sure that they don’t clog your pores, which can mix with makeup, dirt, and environmental irritants and pollutants, and lead to acne you definitely don’t want.

Furthermore, when you are applying products to your face, be sure that you’re being gentle. Not taking the time to understand your skin and the effect the actual application of your ALL-NATURAL FACIAL ROUTINE can have can actually lead to a worsening of acne and clogged pores, leading to a vulnerable T-zone.
