To care for the skin around the eyes and prevent aging skin, lines and wrinkles an anti aging eye cream should be part of the daily beauty routine. An eye cream can also help to reduce crows feet, frown lines and firm and tighten the skin for a youthful appearance. The skin around the eye area shows the first signs of aging due to poor diet, toxicity, a lack of sleep, stress and environmental factors like sun exposure. With age our hormone levels change (especially in women). Lower levels of estrogen's cause dry skin and less skin elasticity which causes saggy wrinkly skin. The skin around the eyes is about 10 times thinner than on the rest of the face. It also has less oil glands which causes a lack of natural moisture in the skin. Therefore it needs special attention and a separate anti aging eye cream. Your normal facial moisturizer could be too oily and heavy for the delicate eye area. This can cause Millie, those white bumps under the skin. Best Anti Aging Eye Cream Ingredien
Finding the right anti aging oily skin product can be difficult as most anti aging cosmetic products are rich in oils to act against lines and wrinkles.
Most anti aging skin care products are designed for the mature skin, which is naturally dry and therefore prone to fine lines. An anti aging oily skin product should include active anti aging ingredients on an water based formula.
Are you an oily combination skin type?
Skin is put into following categories or types:
- Oily
- Dry
- Normal
- Or a combination of any
On top of your skin type you can have one or more of the following skin condition:
- Sensitive
- Dehydrated
- Pigmented
Aging does not fall into these categories as skin aging affects all skin types.
To find the right anti aging oily skin product you need to determine exactly what your skin type is.
If you have only an oily T-zone and the rest of your skin is normal, you would have a combination oily/normal skin for example.
Combination oily skin types need to be treated differently than all-over oily skins.
Once you have established your exact skin type and condition (if any) you can than select an appropriate anti aging oily skin product.
Simple guide lines for combination oily skin types
Combination oily/dry
This skin types usually has got a oily T-zone and is dry on the checks. Care should be taken not to use oily skin products all over. I recommend to use a cleanser and toner for normal skin and treat the t-zone with a separate oil controlling gel or lotion. Then use a oil based moisturizer leaving out the t-zone. Include Essential Fatty acids in your diet.
Combination oily/normal
This skin types is similar to the one above. Follow the same instruction but instead of using an oil based moisturizer you can use an lighter anti aging oily skin product.
Combination oily/sensitive
This skin types is probably the most difficult to look after. Stay away from harsh alcohol based products. Less product and treating the sensitivity first is the key. Use a very gentle cleanser and toner for sensitive skin. Follow by a lightweight lotion containing ingredients like zinc, green tea and aloe Vera. Include nutritional supplements and essential fatty acids in your diet.
Combination oily/dehydrated
This skin types needs the same attention as the oily normal skin, however the moisturizer should be water based and contain hyaluronic acid to attract water to the skin. Also look at your water intake and your diet. Again essential fatty acids and a complete nutritional supplement help to balance the skin.
Combination oily/pigmented
Use a cleanser and toner for oily skin. (I recommend to balance with gentle products rather than strip! See below) Treat the pigmentation with a serum containing brightening ingredients like bearberry extract, vitamin c, konjac acid or licorice extract. Follow with an oily skin moisturizing lotion. Essential fatty acids and nutritional supplements to treat the oily skin from within.
Ingredients that work in an anti aging oily skin product
- Benyoyl peroxide to treat pustules and acne

- AHAs or BHAs stimulate cell renewal and therefore help to prevent pimples
- Q10

If your skin is sensitive make sure your anti aging oily skin product contains soothing ingredients like:

Daniela's Tip for Anti Aging Oily Skin Product
Taking a Nutritional Supplement will help to normalize your skin. I strongly recommend to ad essential fatty acids into your diet. Even though it sounds weird to ad more oil to your diet, essential fatty acids work wonders on the skin.
A hormone imbalance can also lead to oily skin. This can be easy fixed by taking a herbal hormone balancing supplement.
To look after your oily skin and prevent from premature aging I recommend to use only gentle, ph balancing products. Alcohol in products is drying the skin too much out and can even damage the skin over time. Tea Tree (diluted or in product) is fine to use as antiseptic.
