If you have truly oily skin, you know it. No matter how often you wash, your T-zone is an oil slick by the end of the day. Your pores are large and visible to the naked eye.

You may or may not have acne- oily skin doesn’t necessarily mean you have acne. There are products that can help control your oil production and keep you looking fresh all day.

Jane Iredale is the premier name in mineral makeup. Her skincare is carried exclusively by doctors and med spas. She has a variety of pure, natural products targeted for oily skin.

Absence is perfect for controlling oil and as a primer. Oil on the skin can change the color of your makeup. Absence keeps your makeup looking like you just applied it. It comes in a sheer finish to control oil and even make pores appear smaller.

To top of your makeup with a flawless finish, use one of her matte powders. Amazing Matte Loose Finish Powder and Pure Matte Finish Powder are brushed on top of foundation.

Made from highly absorbent rice starch, they soak up oil and shine all day. Your skin will have a beautiful matte finish without dryness or dullness.

As summer heat ups, acne sufferers can find they have more breakouts then usual. Acne is caused when dead skin cells build up in the follicle. Trapped oil and bacteria cause inflammation and redness.

Everyone sheds dead cells into the follicle, but some people aren’t able to turn them over as quickly, leading to the plug. Dirt will not cause acne, but bacteria are definitely part of the equation.

If you’re looking for an effective, quick treatment, Obagi Medical’s Clenziderm System can clear up acne in just a few weeks. This three part system uses a cleanser, toner, and treatment.

The first step is a salicylic based cleanser to clean thoroughly and kill bacteria at the same time. Step two is a salicylic toner that feels and smells light and refreshing.

The last step is a benzoyl peroxide serum gel that penetrates deep into the follicle to kill acne bacteria where it lives. The Clenziderm System is unique because the molecule in the benzoyl peroxide is 1/10,000th size of other medications.

Other acne products sit primarily on the skin and not in the follicle. Obagi’s Clenziderm System is quick and easy to follow and gives quick results.

As summer approaches, it’s time to start thinking about protecting our skin. The scorching summer sun can really damage skin, leading to brown spots, lines, wrinkles, and loose skin. It’s important to use products you trust to keep your skin looking young and healthy.

The Skin Cancer Foundation has given their seal of approval to five Jane Iredale products. Pure Pressed Base and Amazing Base, both in SPF 20, work as foundation, concealer, powder, treatment, and sun protection all in one.

They both provide a beautiful, natural-looking finish to the skin while actually improving the condition of your skin. Dream Tint SPF 15 is a sports tint that cools and calms skin and can be used as a foundation or a makeup primer.

Powder Me SPF 30 can be used on face or body as a non-greasy sunscreen perfect for poolside or dressing up. Lip Drink SPF 15 moisturizes dry, damaged lips while giving protection.

Macadamia nut oil moisturizes and conditions and zinc oxide offers protection for the delicate lip area. You can use these products with confidence, knowing they have the Skin Cancer Foundation seal of approval to prevent sunburn and premature aging.
