Oily skin is the result of the overproduction of sebum from sebaceous glands. The skin must be treated gently and not subjected to harsh products and treatments or over-cleansing of the skin. Aggressive treatments will make the condition worse, as well as damage the skin over time.
To start treating oily, problem skin, begin with NeoGenesis Cleanser, an excellent gel-based cleanser, good for all skin types and all skin conditions. It leaves the skin clean, nourished and prepared for the next step. Use Cleanser twice daily.
After the Cleanser, NeoGenesis Recovery serum is perfect to naturally restore balance within the skin, reduce inflammation and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). PIH are the red and brown marks that remain from acne lesions and can be present on the skin for many months after the pimple is gone. Use Recovery twice per day after cleansing to help heal the skin quickly, thereby reducing the chances that scarring will occur.
People who have oily skin often steer clear of moisturizers, worrying that they will make their skin worse. Oily skin doesn’t need more oil; however, it does need hydration. Hydrated skin is a must for healthy skin. Keeping it hydrated will not trigger more oil production. Aggressively treated skin often appears oily and dehydrated at the same time. This will signal the hormones to produce more oil, keeping the problem ongoing.
A light application of Light Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream, both acne safe, may be used as needed after Recovery for any dry areas.
