There’s Good News And Bad News About Moisturizers For Oily Skin.

November 13, 2009 by Peter Albertonach 

Skin care products, including moisturizers for oily skin, are big business but the reality is that for people with oily skin modern mainstream skin care products such as oily skin moisturizers deliver very little and can even be risky to your health and your skin as a result of many of the chemical ingredients used in these products.

Most of the big name brands of skin care products that you will see on the shelves of your local store have a range of chemical and petrochemical ingredients. There are many many examples however I'll give you one which should suffice.

You commonly find mineral oil in a wide range of personal and beauty products including skin care products like moisturizers.

Mineral oil is a petrochemical product that is a byproduct of the distillation of crude oil. Mineral oil goes by a wide range of different names and so even if you look on the label of the skin care products you use now you may not see mineral oil listed there even though it is an ingredient in the product because it is being listed under a different name.

Mineral oil has no moisturizing properties. The intention is that it will coat the skin with a thin film of oil which will help prevent moisture loss from the skin. However mineral oil does not add any moisture to the skin, and when it forms a layer of oil over the skin it can cause problems such as acne and it can also prevent the skin from eliminating 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.

And it is possible to buy excellent natural skin care products which utilise ingredients such as these. One company makes outstanding range of natural skin care products which don't contain any mineral oil or other petrochemical or chemical ingredients and which work exceedingly well at promoting better skin health and optimum skin moisture. This company doesn't even produce a moisturizer because all those products moisturize exceedingly well both for oily skin and dry skin.

So clearly these natural skin care products must be very expensive if the ingredients used in them are more expensive however that is not the case. This company does not engage in any television advertising and so the cost of television advertising is not factored into the price of the products as they are in most mainstream skin care products such as oily skin creams. For this reason their natural skin care products are in fact very competitively priced.

If you have oily skin and are looking for a top shelf moisturizer for oily skin than there are now excellent natural skin care products available to you which are very effective alternatives to those oily skin creams and oily skin moisturizers containing chemical and petrochemical ingredients you may have on your shelves right now.

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.
