How To Reduce Oily Skin Pores Naturally

Oily skin, shiny skin, excess sebum production--no matter what you call it, it’s a pain. You scrub, blot, and use mattifying makeup in the hopes of ridding your skin of the sheen, but it just comes back again and again. So what can you do when all of these “solutions” fail to make your skin look and feel fresh, clean, and oil-free? You’ll have to take a different approach. With the right natural ingredients, you can find a way to reduce your oily skin pores once and for all.

Oil, also known as sebum, is produced by the sebaceous glands and is secreted through your pores. But oil production isn’t all bad, and you can’t eliminate it completely. Your skin needs to produce oils to stay hydrated and healthy. Still, there are factors that can send your oil production into a spin. If your skin isn’t producing enough oil, you might notice that it’s dry and tight. On the other hand, excess oil production will lead to that undesirable sheen.

What causes excess oil production?

Hot weather and humidity, stress, hormones, and heredity have all been linked to excess oil production. While you can lighten your load or meditate to reduce stress, there’s not much you can do to change the other factors. So what can you do? 

Changing your skin care habits can help to rebalance your skin so that your oil production doesn’t go into overdrive. Certain skin care techniques can strip your skin of its natural oils, causing it to overcompensate by sending more oils to your skin.

These techniques include things like scrubbing too hard, washing your face too often, or using the wrong skin care products. Using harsh products, like benzoyl peroxide, or “oil-free” products could actually be over-drying your skin, causing it to overproduce oil in response.

How can you reduce oily skin?

To reduce oil production, you should focus on rebalancing your skin by making a switch to gentler skin care habits. Your skin care products should contain gentle, natural ingredients and focus on balancing your skin, rather than stripping it of oils.

The products in the Santalia Acne Therapy Kit work together to regulate excess sebum production. Our Daily Balancing Serum and Daily Cleanser help to regulate oil production, while the 5% Sandalwood powder and French clay in our Calming Mask absorb excess oils. 

These products are free of harsh chemicals that could strip your skin. Instead, they contain natural ingredients such as Sandalwood essential oil and wood powder, and salicylic acid, an ingredient originally isolated from the willow tree.

With all the other factors linked to oily skin, you should take advantage of every available opportunity to reduce oily skin pores naturally. Calming products with natural ingredients, like those in our skincare system, can help to regulate the excess sebum production that’s causing your skin to shine in all the wrong ways. If you’re sick of trying everything to get rid of your oily skin, use the Santalia skincare regimen to see how our calming products can enhance your skin.

Reduce Oil Overnight With Natural Sandalwood Masks

No product can cure acne overnight, no matter what they claim. But there are steps you can take to help reduce your acne immediately. What do we mean? Well, here’s an example:

Your skin produces a certain amount of oil in order to keep your skin healthy. Your body’s natural oil protects and lubricates your skin. If you don’t make enough oil your skin can be dry, but if you make too much oil your skin can look and feel oily.

If you have acne this may seem like something that needs to be taken care of right away!  People have a tendency to overcompensate when it comes to oil. Meaning, you might feel like you should eliminate that oil all at once by using harsh acne cleansers. The problem with this route is harsh acne products strip your skin of all its oils. This sends your sebaceous glands (oil glands) into overproduction to replace what was lost. So you make even more oil than you had in the first place!

So the solution to reducing oil? Finding acne products that help balance and calm your skin. This means using gentle products that work with your skin, not against it. Natural acne products are a great way to give your skin what it needs while fighting acne.

When people think about acne prevention, and products that can help them have clear skin, the products that come to mind are usually daily cleansers and spot treatments. But an effective and often overlooked skincare product is the face mask.

Santalia’s Calming Mask is an effective way to purify your skin. Its gentle, soothing formula helps reduce inflammation and balance your skin. The Calming Mask has an effective blend of natural ingredients hand picked to help reduce oil and restore balance. Here are some of the ingredients and how they can help your skin:

Reduce Inflammation Naturally With Essential Oils

We all have our bad skin days. The second you roll out of bed and notice that angry red bump on your skin, you just want to bury your head under the covers. Acne inflammation is a pain to deal with, but with the right treatment it can be prevented. So pull your head out from underneath those covers and let essential oils reduce inflammation naturally.

Inflammation linked to acne

It’s well known that acne is associated with inflammation. Frequent acne sufferers have it the worst, because they often have higher levels of inflammation. But don’t stress--this inflammation can be controlled!

Our bodies know how to fight back against inflammation and oxidation from sources of free radicals like pollution, harsh chemicals, and UV exposure. To protect our skin from these damaging elements, our bodies use antioxidants as a defense.

Without this antioxidant protection, it’s easy for oxidative stress to lead to your skin becoming damaged, resulting in inflammation. Basically, this means you get an annoying, inflamed pimple. Acne sufferers often have to deal with these pimples because their skin is often too low on antioxidants to fight back against inflammation and ward off acne.

Popular acne treatment downfalls

Have you ever read the label on these things? Many popular acne treatments are full of irritating chemicals. These popularly used acne treatments can often make skin more susceptible to damage.

Benzoyl peroxide is frequently used to treat acne, but it also happens to be a powerful oxidizing agent. While it might eliminate a pimple or two, it’s damaging to your skin and can strip your body of antioxidants. Many products contain acne fighting chemicals that can actually make skin damage worse, so it’s important to fight acne inflammation naturally.

How essential oils help

Increasing antioxidant levels to prevent acne inflammation has shown good results--and this is where essential oils come into play. Some essential oils have antioxidant properties that can help strengthen the body’s defenses against acne inflammation and other free radicals.

If you want to reduce inflammation and prevent these irritants from wreaking havoc on your skin, you can protect it with essential oils, like sandalwood. These additional antioxidant properties help to replenish antioxidant levels--giving skin the additional protection it needs to face the day and all that comes along with it.

By combining antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, Santalia’s Daily Cleanser and Spot Treatment can help you strengthen your skin’s defenses. By using these products, you can reduce your acne inflammation without all of those chemically packed acne treatments.

If you want to keep your skin protected and reduce acne inflammation, the last thing you should do is apply more skin irritating acne products! Save your skin from irritation, redness, and inflammation by using a gentle essential oil with antioxidant properties. Sandalwood essential oil acts as an antioxidant to prevent and reduce inflammation naturally. Give your skin the protection it deserves and wave goodbye to those bad skin days!

How To Naturally Reduce Acne With Essential Oils

Think about how amazing your skin actually is. It ranges from durable heel skin to delicate eyelid skin, it protects the rest of your body from the outside world, and it helps your body rid itself of toxins. With everything your skin goes through, it’s understandable it sometimes breaks out in acne. Okay, well maybe not understandable, but it happens. The key to fixing this is a consistent, gentle skin care routine.  Let’s take a look at how essential oils can make your skin look as amazing as it actually is.

Lemon Myrtle essential oil has many wonderful benefits. Lemon Myrtle is an antibacterial, and has significant antifungal and antimicrobial characteristics. People also say this essential oil is “more lemony than lemon.” It has a wonderful citrus smell that is said to help ease fatigue. Lemon Myrtle helps acne by fighting the bacteria that causes the infection in your clogged pore. This reduces inflammation and heals your skin.

Sandalwood is an amazing essential oil that works wonders for acne. Its anti-inflammatory effects help calm skin irritations, and that allows it to work as an antibacterial to get rid of the bacteria on your face. Especially Probionbacterium acnes, a bacteria that causes the formation of pus in pimples. Sandalwood oil soothes skin and promotes a healthy balance of oil, so your face doesn’t over-produce it. It also has a beautiful, warm fragrance that is said to rid anxiety and help lift depression.

Other treatments are also effective at getting rid of Probionbacterium acnes, like Benzoyl peroxide. This is a very common acne treatment, but unfortunately it also has some major side effects. Some studies have linked Benzoyl peroxide to the promotion of free radicals. This is similar to the effect of seeing too much sun, without the protection of sunblock. This causes cell damage that wreaks havoc on your skin. Benzoyl peroxide commonly causes irritation, something we know isn’t good for skin! It can also dry skin out, which sends sebum glands into overdrive produces extra oil.

Other ingredients that are common in acne treatments and cleansers in general are alkyl sufates. Known more commonly as “sulfates,” these are present in skin and hair care products, dishwashing and laundry detergents, even engine greasers! These are in many commercial cleaning products because they are powerful and cheap cleansers, but this is precisely why you don’t want them in your skin care products. Sulfates strip your skin and hair of the natural oils they need.

The reason products using natural ingredients, like essential oils, work so well is they don’t contain all the cheap, harsh chemicals other product contain. Benzoyl peroxide and sulfates may accomplish some of the things Lemon Myrtle and Sandalwood oil do, but with side effects that create even more problems for your skin. Essential oils can give you all the benefits, while remaining gentle on your skin.

How Natural Antibacterial Oils Can Reduce Blemishes

Is your face clear all the time? If your answer to that question is “No!” then you’re not alone - 85% of people experience acne at some point in their lives.

Acne can be caused by many different things. And since each person is different, it’s hard to find the right solution for your skin. Acne can be caused by hormones, genes, excess oil and bacteria...that’s a lot of different factors!

An important part of having beautiful skin is having healthy skin. If you want to treat your acne you need to find a skin care regimen that helps your skin heal and become balanced. A great way to do this is with natural antibacterial oils. These can help you reduce your blemishes by gently clearing your skin. Let’s take a look at which antibacterial oils can help your skin.

Sandalwood Oil

Sandalwood oil is one of the best antibacterial essential oils available. Sandalwood has long been sought after for its gentle healing properties. The reason Sandalwood is especially useful is that it’s not only an antibacterial, it’s an anti-inflammatory. While its antibacterial properties kill the bacteria you have in your pores, it is also soothing for your skin and reduces swelling. This means that big red pimple on your forehead won’t look as irritated the next day. The antioxidants in Sandalwood oil help enhance your skin’s appearance.

Lemon Myrtle Oil

Lemon Myrtle oil is a close second to Sandalwood oil when it comes to getting rid of bacteria. It also gets rid of the tough to reach bacteria that hides out in your pores and causes acne. When you consistently keep bacteria off your skin you prevent an infection from happening. Meaning less whiteheads for you! Using natural oils like Lemon Myrtle also keeps your skin from being stripped of all its oils, this helps your skin maintain a nice balance throughout the day. And the sweet, citrusy scent it a plus!

If you incorporate these gentle oils into your skincare routine your face will no longer be a place conducive for acne to thrive.

But once you find something that works, it doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. An important part of finally finding acne products that work with your skin is maintaining use of those acne products! A great face wash doesn’t do much if it just sits on your counter. Be sure to stick with your routine for beautiful healthy skin.
