There’s Good News And Bad News About Moisturizers For Oily Skin.
Moisturizers for oily skin are big business however the sad truth is that most oily skin moisturizers do very little to moisturize your skin at best and at worst can be risky to your health. This is a result of the types of ingredients used in so many mainstream skin care products today.
Almost all personal and beauty care products such as skin care products including moisturizers for oily skin contain chemical and petrochemical ingredients and I shall give you an example.
You commonly find mineral oil in a wide range of personal and beauty products including skin care products like moisturizers.
Unfortunately mineral oil comes from crude oil and is a petrochemical product that is a byproduct of distilling crude oil. Mineral oil goes by a wide range of different names and if you look on the label of skin care products such as moisturizers that you may use now you may not even see it listed because it may be listed under a different name.
Mineral oil doesn’t moisturize your skin. The idea is that it creates a film of oil over your skin and this film of oil helps restrict moisture loss from the skin. Unfortunately though this film of oil can exacerbate acne and also limit the ability of the skin to exhale toxins through the pores.
Mineral oil has been linked to cancer as well as allergies and irritation of the skin and eyes. It can be absorbed into the body small amounts where it can create vitamin deficiency problems.
So why in the world would the personal and beauty products manufacturers and skin care manufacturers use mineral oil in their products? There’s a simple answer, it’s incredibly cheap and way cheaper than any other alternative ingredient.
There are many excellent natural alternatives to using mineral oil in products such as moisturizers for oily skin and moisturizers for dry skin. Some good examples are Avocado extract, Shea butter and Babassu oil as well as a wide range of other naturally occurring ingredients all of which have been known for some time to have excellent skin moisturizing properties and which are much more effective as skin moisturizers than mineral oil.
There are companies which produce excellent natural skin care products using such ingredients. One in particular makes an excellent range of natural anti aging products, none of which contain mineral oil or any other chemical or petrochemical ingredients, and which work equally well for all skin types. They do not produce a moisturizer for oily skin and in fact do not produce a moisturizer at all because all their products work to produce better skin health and better skin moisture levels equally well.
The obvious conclusion must be that these products are very expensive however in fact that is not the case, they are in fact extremely cost competitive. The reason is that the company that makes them doesn’t engage in television advertising and so is not required to factor the cost of television advertising into the price of the product.
If you suffer from oily skin and if you’re in need of an oily skin moisturizer that helps promote optimum skin health as well as skin moisture then there are excellent natural skin care products available to you right now which do exactly that. You can throw out those oily skin creams that you may have in the cupboard right now with mineral oil and other petrochemical ingredients in them.
No one with oily skin, or for that matter with dry skin, should have problems skin moisturizing. Excellent natural skin care products exist which moisturize very effectively for people with all skin types.
