How to Treat All Types of Skin Conditions
All of the major cosmetics manufacture products that treat all types of skin conditions, but are separate products for skin types truly necessary? I understand that people with oily skin, and people with dry skin tend to feel that what they need is treatment focused toward their specific problem, but the types of products that they are being sold could turn out to be counterproductive.
Many times the ingredients that the cosmetics companies use in their products that are supposed to be the ones to alleviate the problem actually make the problems much worse.
Take for example the use of petroleum based moisturizers for the treatment of dry skin.
They are chosen usually due to the fact that they are slightly thicker than many other moisturizing ingredients.
Now most people with dry skin would think that thicker would be more effective for their types of skin conditions, because more is always better right? Well in this case these moisturizing agents simply end up leaving a greasy film on your skin, because both petrolatum and mineral oil are too dense to be absorbed by your skin.
This causes numerous problems.
This film will trap dirt, clog pores, and will interfere with the natural exfoliation process.
Because your skin detects that there is moisture present all of the time due to the residue on your skin it ceases to produce sebum, which is your skin's natural oil.
Over time this will cause your skin to become even more dried out than it was when you started.
The same can be said for products that are meant to treat oily types of skin conditions.
These products usually contain several different variations of alcohol in them, which have a drying effect on your skin.
This time your skin senses that your skin is in danger of becoming overly dry, and it begins to produce more sebum.
Therefore your skin ends up oilier than before.
There are some all natural products that contain ingredients for all types of skin conditions that won't cause you to have even more problems.
For dry skin they contain plant based oils that will penetrate deeply into your skin, and lock in moisture.
These include macadamia, grape seed, and avocado oils, which all have properties that closely resemble those of your skin's own oil.
For oily skin they do not include agents that are designed to have a drying effect on the skin.
What they do offer you is maracuja passion fruit extract, which is actually good for either dry or oily skin.
This extract contains properties that allow it to regulate the production of sebum, which will prevent your skin for becoming either too oily or too dry.
So there you have it.
These ingredients can help those with all types of skin conditions, and they are far healthier for you to use than the standard chemically laden cosmetics products.
If you truly want to clear up any problem that you have with your skin then products containing these all natural ingredients is the answer that you have been looking for.
