Your body produces sebum, the body’s natural oil, in order to keep skin healthy; however, sebum production can go into overdrive. The cause of oily skin is actually irritation, which stimulates the nerve endings as the base of your pores, resulting in excessive oil production that can lead to clogged pores and other types of inflammation. You may ask yourself what is irritating your skin, and it can be a number of things: bar soaps, free radicals in the air, and even your hormones can cause oily skin.
So, how can you treat oily skin? One way is to look at your lifestyle and make adjustments. If you eat inflammatory foods like unsaturated fats in fast food, sugar, refined carbohydrates like white bread, or alcohol, you are causing your skin to be in an inflammatory state. Switching to raw, organic foods allows you to avoid additional hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, and other additives that are toxic and causing your skin issues.
Another way to treat oily skin is to exercise. Exercising rids your body of impurities while also increasing circulation and improving skin’s elasticity. Before your workout, be sure to remove your makeup, and make sure to shower after your workout, too. Oil and sweat can clog pores, and makeup blocks your pores from releasing sweat and toxins from your body.
While these lifestyle adjustments are part of the Lancer Anti-Aging Lifestyle and are highly encouraged, you are most likely looking for anti-aging products for oily skin that will give you immediate results. The Lancer Method accelerates skin cell turnover in its three-step process of Polish, Cleanse, and Nourish that gets skin to look and feel younger within a week. The Method: Blemish Control is able to address oily skin and inflammation, like acne, because the Polish, Cleanse, and Nourish contain ingredients like lilac stem cells to absorb oil and salicylic acid to relieve clogged pores. The Method: Blemish Control helps to regulate sebum while also delivering potent anti-aging ingredients like rare grape polyphenol, a potent antioxidant that protects skin cells, and peppermint oil to boost blood flow and oxygen levels for a youthful glow.
If you want to protect your skin from irritants like the sun or pollution in the air, we also offer an array of Advanced Treatments. Our Retexturizing Treatment Cream contains 10% glycolic acid, which will break down rough, dead skin cells while also increasing skin’s natural moisture retention, and CoQ10, an antioxidant that protects cellular DNA from free radicals while also promoting collagen production so skin improves dramatically in terms of texture and clarity.
Sunscreen is a must in any skincare routine, and you want to make sure your sunscreen does not aggravate your skin. You can protect your skin while also infusing key anti-aging ingredients with our pH-optimized fluid, the Sheer Fluid Sun Shield SPF 30. It makes for an ideal makeup primer, and will go on smooth without feeling greasy due to matching the chemistry of our Nourish.
Because skincare is not just about your face, we want to make sure that all of your oil concerns are accounted for by offering products that can also help with anything below the chin. You can take The Lancer Method into your shower with The Method: Body products, which also contain salicylic acid to soften keratin, the rough fibrous proteins that is abundant in dead surface skin cells, so you can open pores and stimulate the removal of toxins while encouraging circulation so skin looks rosy and fresh. Our Contour Décolleté is a lightweight serum that absorbs into skin around the neck, décolleté, and bustline in seconds. Not only does it soften the appearance of wrinkles, but the innovative formula’s acid-free exfoliating blend encourages collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production to create smoother texture and tone.
While you can look for products with anti-aging or oil control ingredients anywhere, Lancer Skincare has developed these products with both concerns in mind, and the results cannot be argued with when you notice how healthy your skin will act when using ingredients that are not irritating and provide essential antioxidants for beautiful, glowing skin. If oily skin is one of your concerns, be sure to look at our Oily Skincare page for other product recommendations. Once you use our products, you’ll discover why they are considered the best anti-aging products for oily skin.
