T-Zone Clear Pore Gel Wash 200ml

Product Information

While it may be tempting to pile on the acid-spiked toners or employ an exfoliating face scrub numerous times to nix the shine, there is such a thing as too much exfoliation. “Do not over-exfoliate!” urges Akram. Doing so can actually cause oil glands to double down on oil production to compensate. Moreover, too much exfoliation can weaken your skin barrier, which is crucial in maintaining balance and healthy moisture. Although it sounds like an oxymoron, it’s possible to have skin that’s simultaneously dry and oily. Dermatologists may label skin with this condition as “combination skin.”

It has been specifically formulated to: remove the grease and oil that can cause spots, preevnt build up of dead skin cells, leave great looking, shine free skin and guard against over-dry skin. For the same pore-clearing reasons as the HydraFacial, Dr. Ofodile also recommends quarterly TCA (trichlorecetic acid) chemical peels. You'll also love this treatment for the way it improves skin texture and gets rid of non-inflammatory acne. 21. Calm down.Coined for its resemblance to the letter, the T-zone refers to the skin that covers “the forehead, nose and chin,” notes NYC-based dermatologist Dr. Hadley King. Sarah Akram, a celebrity esthetician, echoes this sentiment: “Essentially, [it’s] the center of your face.” Your T-zone is made up of the ‘T’ shaped area spanning your forehead down to your nose and chin. Your T-zone contains more sebaceous glands than anywhere else on your face and so it is completely normal to appear more oily than other areas of your face. Falling asleep in your makeup, or forgoing face wash after a sweaty workout are two cardinal skincare sins, particularly for oily and acne-prone skin types, as both scenarios introduce extra debris into pores. Perhaps less obvious: the benefit of cleansing consistently, even if neither of the aforementioned situations apply. According to Akram, oily and acne-prone skin types should consider cleansing not just once, but twice per day — once in the morning, and once at night. Doing so ensures removal of excess oil and any debris that may have accumulated in pores to prevent blemish-causing buildup. evp_embed_video url=”https://t-zoneskincare.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/T-ZONE-NOSE-PORE-STRIPS.mp4″] It’s common to have an oily T-zone. This area has more sebaceous glands, so it naturally has more sebum, or oil. To control oiliness and shine, gently wash and moisturize your face every day.

Sometimes, though, your glands can make too much oil. This may make your skin look shiny or increase the risk of acne. Carefully crafted formula powered by Australian Lemon Myrtle Extract sourced from subtropical rainforests of central and southeastern Queensland . Say hello to Clean Skin , Toned Skin. Benefit While blotting papers and charcoal masks won't do anything to stop your oil production at its source (think of these products as band-aids, instead of actual fixes), they're still good to have on hand to help absorb excess oil and temporarily de-grease your face when you really need it. 6. Apply oily skin products. Another safer, lower-risk prescription option? Spironolactone, a commonly prescribed medication that helps reduce your oil production (and acne breakouts!) by reducing the type of hormone responsible for stimulating your oil glands. Again, chat with your dermatologist to see if they think you're right for it. 18. Get a laser treatment. Nutrition. Many times, people with dry, oily skin get breakouts from moisturizers or lotions. However, it’s still important to moisturize your skin. You can do this by incorporating healthy oils into your diet or taking fatty acid supplements, such as fish oils with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and plant sources with alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

At the same time, Dr. Ofodile says that inadequate daily skin cleansing could also contribute to your oily face. Remember, it's all about ~balance~. It’s important to wash your face consistently every morning and night, but using the harshest cleansers will actually just strip your face and irritate your skin barrier, leading to more oil and acne in the end. 4. Stop using harsh products.
