Bioelements Oil Control Mattifier keeps surface shine at bay
Today, clients are experiencing breakthrough shine, excess oil and mid-day
makeup meltdown in increasing numbers. And excess oil can affect anyone – not
just those with genetically Oily skin. So what’s the reason for this oil
epidemic? Here are some of the oily skin causes:
A true oily
skin type
If oily skin runs in the family, chances are that members
will have larger sebaceous glands and produce excess oil.
Product over-usage
In the quest for younger-looking, smoother,
clearer skin, clients may over-cleanse, over-exfoliate, scrub with too much
pressure or apply too much product.
Summer heat and winter
dehydration
A rise in heat and humidity during spring and summer can
cause skin’s oil production levels to increase. In contrast, when the air
becomes dry in winter, skin can get dehydrated, and excess oil may occur when
skin overcompensates for what’s missing.
Medication
Any medication can cause dehydration, and lead to a production of excess oil
when skin overcompensates. Hormonal birth control and hormone replacement
medications can also increase oil production.
Wrong products for
your skin type
If a client uses a cleanser for oily skin when she
has combination skin, her skin will become over-stripped of the oil it needs,
then produce even more oil in response.
Hormones
In
women, fluctuations of hormone androgens throughout life (pregnancy, peri-,
pre-, menopause) can kick sebaceous glands into high gear.
Stress
In response to stress, the body produces more androgen hormones, which lead to
more oil production.
Unnecessary skin care tools
Scrubbing with a wash cloth, rotating cleansing brush, hand mitts, buff puffs
and ‘strips’ can irritate and over-dry skin, causing it to overproduce oil to
compensate.
Tanning
Although it may temporarily dry
out the skin, tanning triggers an injury response, which causes the sebaceous
glands to ‘surge’ production of oil in order to protect the skin’s surface.
OIL BLOTTING PAPERS AREN’T THE ANSWER
Blotting papers do more
harm than good. Throughout the day, skin is bombarded with oil, makeup, dust,
pollution, and free radicals. Pressing a piece of paper to absorb oil might
remove some shine, but it’s pressing all that invisible dirt and unseen oil back
down deep into pores, smothering it and giving P. acnes bacteria the kind of
oxygen-free environment it loves. This causes inflammation, breakouts and
clogged pores.
GIVE CLIENTS AN TRUE EXCESS OIL SOLUTION
Bioelements
Oil Control Mattifier blots breakthrough oil, give skin a perfect matte finish
and keeps surface shine at bay. Pores look smaller, skin is free of shine
without feeling stripped and makeup stays put. Here’s how it works:
From the Inside:
Oil Control Mattifier’s breakthrough blend
of saw palmetto fruit extract, sesame seed extract and argan oil work together
with Chinese peony to go deep into the hair follicles of the skin, where oily
sebum forms. Here, it helps to balance and reduce oil, especially in the t-zone.
From the Outside:
Oil Control Mattifier’s formula
works on the surface of the skin to soak up excess oil with tapioca starch –
eliminating the greasy sheen that can accumulate throughout the day, causing
mid-day makeup meltdowns.
