“I don’t need moisturiser because my skin is already oily.”
“I don’t want to use an oil on my face because I am already oily.”
Often when we have oily skin we think that oil is the enemy… nothing could be further from the truth. It is the balance of the oil that needs to be addressed for young, oily and combination skin types. Smitten’s rebalancing range are the key to soothing oily and combination skin types.
Tight is not right
How does your skin feel after you have cleansed it? Does it feel tight and ‘clean?’
Yes? Oh dear – read on…
Sadly if your skin feels this way it’s not actually “clean,” like you thought, but you have stripped the skin of its natural oils by using a product that is too harsh.
You are actually stripping the skin of the acid mantle. This is the skins’ natural defense against free radicals, chemicals etc etc in the air. – The oil in the skin keeps the ‘nasty’s’ from entering your skin and therefore your blood stream.
What does this mean?
If you strip the skin of its natural defense your brain will make more oil!. Using a skin product that makes you feel dry and tight… will make your skin oilier!
Sadly the media, pharmacies and supermarkets are full of these sorts of products that claim “oil control” and “blemish clear.” Many will just dry out your skin. For a little while you may see some improvement but ultimately your skin will flake and then get worse. What you need is Smitten’s natural, organic refining serum to soothe your skin.

Moisturiser Myths
“I don’t need moisturiser because my skin is already oily.”
We have already established that your skin and your brain like oil right? So here is the thing a moisturiser actually works to keep your natural oils in on your skin. Why is this good?

It needs to be light and not too heavy on the skin and hopefully contain SPF. Smitten’s Moisturiser will do just this natural, Australian made and organic it will protect your skin and keep your natural oils in.
