Q: Why is my skin oily?

A: One word: genetics

Because you are genetically programmed to have larger and more productive sebaceous (oil) glands. Your

skin may also be thicker in texture and not particularly sensitive.

Q: Can exfoliation help control my oily skin?

A: Exfoliation can be especially helpful to those with oily skin.

In addition to smoothing, improving skin tone and enhancing skin’s receptiveness of oil-controlling ingredi-ents, exfoliation helps rid oily skin of dulling skin cells to help keep skin clear.

Q: If I have oily skin, why do I need a Moisturiser?

A: Oily skin requires protection and hydration as much as any other skin condition.

If you attempt to “dry out” skin by not moisturizing after cleansing, your sebaceous glands will produce even more oil to compensate. Applying an oil-absorbing moisturiser or mattifying lotion after cleansing can help control oil production.

In addition, those with oily skin can still have dehydrated skin, considering dehydrated skin is caused by a lack of water, not a lack of oil. Proper hydration will help maintain water levels in skin.

Q: My skin looks great after completing my skin care regimen in the morning, but by mid-day, I have a slick, shiny surface. How can I stop this?

A: Making a few adjustments to your skin care regimen can help control oil production from morning until night.

Perhaps change to a mattifying lotion for day time (Clear Future range) or you can use a the FC5 mattifying powder throughout the day that helps to soak up excess oil.

Q: Does oily skin mean I could start experiencing breakouts?

A: Not necessarily.

While oily skin is a precursor to the cascade of events that lead to breakouts, it doesn’t mean that you will start experiencing breakouts.

Q: Will I “grow out” of my oily skin?

A: Yes, your skin could become less oily over time.

Generally as you get older the oil glands shrink and produce less oil, so yes, your skin may become less oily.

Q: I tan to help clear my oily skin. Is this ok?

A: Absolutely not. Sun exposure is never good for skin.

While it may seem the sun provides a temporary “drying” effect, sebaceous glands will fire into over-drive to help replace lost oil. The result: more oil on the surface than before. Shielding skin from sun exposure and applying the mattifying blemish lotion will absorb oil while soothing skin and prevent dryness. Following a prescribed regimen that helps control oil production will help minimize your risk for breakouts.
