I really love summer, but I do not love the shiny face that comes with it. Luckily, I just checked out two awesome (new!) products from the skincare magicians at Origins.
NEW Zero Oil™ Deep Pore Cleanser with Saw Palmetto & Mint
NEW Zero Oil™ Deep Pore Cleanser with Saw Palmetto & Mint
Blurb: This maximum-strength, gently foaming cleanser formulated with skin-clearing Saw Palmetto, cooling Mint and pore-minimizing Salicylic Acid helps clear pores, eliminate excess oil and reduce shine. Leaves skin tingly clean and refreshed. Use AM and PM.NEW Zero Oil™ Oil-free lotion with Saw Palmetto & Mint
Blurb: This lightweight, oil-free, hydrating lotion with skin-clearing Saw Palmetto, refreshing Mint and pore-minimizing Salicylic Acid instantly reduces shine, refines skin texture and creates a smooth, matte finish. Non-comedogenic. Non-acnegenic. Apply AM and PM to clean skin.I am hooked! I love my un-shiny face!
The Cleanser is fabulous (use just a little – trust me). It contains salicylic acid (to fight breakouts), and cleans beautifully without stripping or leaving a residue. I also love the refreshing, cool tingle – and how soothed and balanced my skin feels after I rinse. The Lotion…also completely fabulous. It's light, soothing, cooling, and hydrating. What was extra awesome was that it mattified on contact, and kept my skin feeling hydrated (yet feeling super "clean").
Both products worked really well together to clean, soothe and battle oiliness and breakouts all day long. The fresh scent also gave me a nice lift during the hot summer days and nights.
I suggest visiting the website and checking out all of the new Zero Oil Items. You can also use the Store Locator to find stores in your area (and book an appointment for a free mini-facial).

Of course we love summertime’s sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 80’s! But let's face it; the rising mercury can definitely hamper our efforts to look flawless. While oily skin (the result of over productive sebaceous glands) can be hereditary, external factors such as heat and humidity can also affect skin oiliness. Oily skin can become a breeding ground for bacteria and unsightly blemishes, a look that few of us wish to sport this summer.
Oily skin is typically considered to be a concern for teenagers. While problems due to oily skin generally do not start until the onset of puberty, those same problems can persist well into adulthood and sometimes, last a lifetime. Oily skin can be hereditary, and if your parents have oily skin, there is a fair chance that you will inherit it.
