Oily skin is shiny, thick and dull colored. Often a chronically oily skin has coarse pores and pimples and other embarrassing blemishes. It is prone to blackheads. In this type of skin, the oil producing sebaceous glands are overactive and produce more oil than is needed. The oil oozes and gives the skin a greasy shine. The pores are enlarged and the skin has a coarse look.

Causes of Oily Skin

• Heredity
• Diet
• Hormone levels
• Pregnancy
• Birth control pills
• Cosmetics you use
• Humidity and hot weather

Oily skin is common in teenagers, but it can occur at any age. In general, skin tends to become dryer with age. The flow of sebum or oil increases during adolescence and starts decreasing with age. During pregnancy and menopause, hormonal imbalances can also upset the oil balance and increase the activity of sebaceous glands.

Many people have skin that is oily only in certain areas and dry or normal in others, a condition known as combination skin.

Skin Care for Oily Skin

The great advantage of oily skin is that it ages at a slower rate than other skin types.

Oily skin needs special cleansing with plenty of hot water and soap to prevent the pores from being clogged. Avoid harsh products that strip your skin of oil and encourage flakiness. They can cause a reaction known as reactive seborrhoea, where the oil glands work overtime to compensate for the loss of natural oils.

Avoid skincare products that leave your skin feeling taut and dehydrated. They cause the upper layers of the skin to shrink. This restricts oil flow through the pores leading to blockages and breakouts.

To cleanse oily skin, use oil-based products as they dissolve sebum effectively. Opt for oil-free moisturizers to maintain a shine-free complexion.

Keep your skin very clean. Limit washing your face to two or three times a day. Too much washing will stimulate your skin to produce more oil.

Choose your cleanser with care. Avoid heavy cleansing creams. Avoid the use of harsh soaps or cleansers. Use a pure soap with no artificial additives. Try an antibacterial cleansing lotion or a lightly medicated soap, and use it in combination with a water rich in minerals, not tap water. Do not use cleansers or lotions that contain alcohol. After cleansing, apply a natural oil-free moisturizer to keep the skin supple.

Use hot water when washing your face. Hot water dissolves skin oil better than lukewarm or cold water.

If your skin is extremely oily, three or four daily cleansings may be in order and little or no moisturizing necessary before you are 30 years old. After that point, the skin around your eyes and mouth and on your throat may benefit from a nightly moisturizing, plus a mere touch of moisturizer in the morning.

When cleansing, massage your face well with your fingertips, using an upward and outward motion. Be careful not to rub soap into the skin; it can clog pores.

If your oily skin is scaly, you can often correct the problem by using a deep-cleaning exfoliant on alternate nights, and following the treatment with a light coating of moisturizer.

Try using a clay or mud mask. If you have sensitive skin, use white or rose-colored clays.

Use a light antiseptic night cream from time to time if you wish, and apply a clarifying mask one or two times a week.

Choose cosmetic and facial care products specifically designed for oily skin.

Before applying makeup, use an antiseptic day cream with active ingredients that diminish sebaceous secretions. Look for benzyl peroxide in the list of active ingredients.

Use a light antiseptic night cream from time to time if you wish, and apply a clarifying mask one or two times a week.

Diet for Oily Skin

Take a diet rich in proteins but restricted in sugar, fluids and salt.

Take plenty of leafy green vegetables and fresh fruits.

Have your blood brought up to par by the suitable administration of necessary vitamins, iron and similar substances.

Even a slight deficiency in vitamin B2 can cause oily skin. Nutritional yeast, wheat germ and organ meats provide both vitamin B5 and vitamin B2. Other good sources of vitamin B2 are whole grains, beans, nuts, and royal jelly. Buckwheat, black beans and whole rice are excellent to supply the body with iron and rejuvenate pate skin.

Drink plenty of quality water to keep the skin hydrated and flush out toxins.

Reduce the amount of fat in your diet. Avoid pork and fried and highly seasoned foods. Consume no animal fats, or heat-processed vegetable oils.

Do not cook with oil. Do not eat any oils that have been subjected to heat, whether in processing or cooking. If a little oil is necessary, such as in salad dressing, use cold-pressed canola or olive oil only.

Do not drink soft drinks or alcoholic beverages. Avoid sugar, chocolate, and junk food.

For special occasion make-up, we use a professional salon range of cosmetics to ensure even application and long lasting results. It is very hard wearing and we provide a wide choice of colours to suit your specific needs.

The make up is applied professionally on the day of the event or special occasion and takes approximately 60 minutes.

During the session, your therapist will ask you a number of questions on the type of look you are trying to achieve. She would ask questions such as what you are wearing on the day and what the nature of event is. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed before the application of the make up. Your therapist will then apply the make up that you have both chosen and agreed on. If you prefer, we also offer a trial session one month before your event. This is a good way to test your look prior to the event and will save a little time on the day.

Eyelash perming is used for people who prefer to go outside without eye
 make-ups. This procedure also offers men and women a more natural way of 
making the eyelashes more visible and plumper. Active women can benefit
 from eyelash perming because the curls of the eyelashes will not go away
 even in extreme physical conditions. Men today are also using eyelash
 perming to enhance appearance dramatically without an eye-catching
 change.

Eyelash perming can take from thirty up to forty-five minutes. For about
$50 worth of perming products, the effects could last up to one or four
months (depending on the brand used). For men and women who wish to
darken their appearances, the perming product can be easily mixed with
mild vegetable dyes.

Basic Instructions for Eyelash Perming

Before using the perming kit, make sure to remove your contact lenses or
glasses and makeup by using oil-free removers. Allow the eye area to
completely dry for ten minutes or more. Dip ten cotton pads in lukewarm
water and squeeze excess water out.

Your eyelash perming kit should include a rod (in small, medium or large
size). A small rod is ideal for people with short eyelashes, or if you
desire a tighter eyelash curl. Medium rods are the most common because
it is an all-around curler. Large rods, on the other hand, are
appropriate for people with long eyelashes, or those who prefer loose
curls.

Majority of eyelash perming kits contain a setting lotion, a perming
lotion, a nourishing agent, an eye cleanser and the perming glue. The
most tricky part in perming your eyelashes is applying perming glue and
determining the consistency of each part. However, all steps in perming
eyelashes can be done in ten minutes or less. Make sure to wear
protective gloves and read the instructions before performing an eyelash
perm.

Most eyelash perming kits are recommended for professional use to
prevent possible accidents. It is best to have your eyelashes done from
a practiced technician to ensure correct application and guarantee
longer results. In cases where perming solution or glue gets into the
eyes, make sure flush it with water immediately.
