Skin Type: Oily Skin with Acne and Uneven Skin Tone 

What is Oily Skin with Acne and an Uneven Skin Tone ? 

This is one of the most common acne skin conditions.  Because oily skin produces so much oil, its easy for the pores to become clogged resulting in acne pimples and bumps that once healed leave dark marks. 

  • Your skin  can be somewhat oily, moderately oily or very oily and the amount of oil produced can change over time.  

  • This excess oil causes enlarged pores and these pores can become clogged if the skin is not cleansed properly resulting in acne and dark marks or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.  

  • This type of skin usually gets oily after cleansing and usually appears shiny in appearance. 
 
  • Sunscreen and moisturizers usually feel heavy on your skin. 

  • Incorrectly picking pimples and squeezing blackheads will increase inflammation which will make the dark marks, darker and cause them to stay on your skin longer than if you don't pick. 

  • An uneven skin tone can also occur from environmental influences that usually result in a dark forehead and darkness around the mouth and sides of cheeks. 

  • Ivory to ebony skin tones can develop post inflammatory pigmentation (dark marks).  However, the darker the skin, the darker the marks will be, and the darker the marks, the longer they stay on the skin

What Ingredients Work Best ? 

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

  • Cleansing your skin with cleansers that have activated charcoal will help draw out any impurities, bacteria, poisons, chemicals or dirt to the surface of the skin helping you achieve a flawless complexion and fight acne.  

WILLOW BARK

  • I cannot say enough wonderful things about this plant.  It's where BHAs or Beta Hydroxy Acids are made.   Willow Bark is a natural astringent which helps tighten pores, and the BHA is essential to fighting acne and skin discoloration.  It's also an anti-inflammatory which means it calms irritated sensitive skin. 

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR & TEA TREE OIL

  • The antibacterial, antiseptic, antifungal and antiviral qualities of both apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil make this a must have acne fighting duo.  They remove dirt, oil and grime from the pores and calm the skin. 

NIACINAMIDE

  • Not only does Niacinamide clear existing acne and prevent acne, but some clinical studies have shown that topical Vitamin B3 is as effective as antibiotics, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid!  Plus it does not lead to bacterial resistance.

Skin Care Tips

  • Some of you may  have a tendency to wash your face until it feels "squeaky" clean.  So you might be attracted to bar soaps and foamy cleansers.  Some of you may just use plain water to wash your face.  

  • While you may love that squeaky clean feeling, you could be making your skin more oily.  Once your skin no longer feels any oil on the surface, it will compensate by producing more oil. 

  • Another word of caution is about the use of moisturizers.   I know you have heard more than once that everybody needs a moisturizer.  While I agree, that all skins need a moisturizer, not everyone needs to USE a moisturizer. 

  • Oily skin creates its own moisturizer and you don't always need another one.   If your skin is feeling dry, it is because it is lacking in water, not oil. 

  • So instead of reaching for a moisturizer first, try using a gel based serum to provide hydration.  If you still feel dry, then a small amount of rosewater based moisturizer will help.  

  • Also, eating fatty foods, even the healthy fats found in salmon and tuna, can increase  oil in your skin.  So keep this in mind.  

  • The key to keeping oily skin healthy is keeping the pores unclogged and hydration (water) not providing more oil.  

  • Persons who have oily and very oily skin, especially in warm and humid climates, and wear moisturizers end up clogging their pores resulting in acne. 

  • Every pimple began as a blackhead, but not every black head will turn into a pimple. Once again, blackheads clog the pores resulting in acne.

Why Natural Skin Junkie

At Natural Skin Junkie, we believe in creating organic skincare solutions that are holistic, affordable, and accessible to all. 

Meet Valerie, the visionary behind Natural Skin Junkie. After becoming the first African American Esthetician in the state of Missouri, she quickly realized that most skin problems stemmed from two main reasons -- misunderstanding of ethnic skin and harsh practices and chemicals that do more harm than good. 

And that’s exactly what she set out to change with her studio and skincare line, Natural Skin Junkie. 

21 years of knowledge and experience, and more than 12 years of testing and constant feedback from clients, is what makes her 100% natural organic  products and routines so effective.

Now, with Natural Skin Junkie, she strives to share her knowledge, products, and services with natural skin enthusiasts everywhere.
