The prevailing belief is that Oily or Kapha skin will age more slowly and develop fewer wrinkles and fine lines than other skin types. While it is true that oily skin does have some of these benefits, it cannot totally escape the biological process of aging.
That’s precisely why we created our beautiful Pore Perfect Line to treat the issues associated with Kapha dosha, known primarily for Oily Skin with enlarged pores.
The Needs of Oily Skin
First, it’s important to know what are the features of Oily Skin or Kapha Dosha and what are the problems associated with it.
Sebum (a mixture of lipids and fats) produced by the sebaceous glands naturally protects the skin from environmental stressors. Compared to other skin types, these glands in oily skin are often hyperactive (genetically) or they behave abnormally during hot and humid weather. Oily skin has large pores (resembling the close-up of a citrus fruit) and a thick and shiny texture. Also, it is predominantly cool to the touch under normal conditions.
Some of the skin problems associated with Kapha Skin are – Oiliness, Blemishes & Eruptions/ Prone to frequent breakouts, dullness or lifelessness, and visible pores.
Therefore, an anti-aging treatment for oily skin should ideally not only work on wrinkles and fine lines, but should also be able to regulate the dermal hormones overproducing oil and in turn, breakouts.
The Pore Perfect Regimen
The perfect formula for oily skin should primarily be non-sticky, lightweight, easy to absorb, non-comedogenic, pH-balanced, and sweat resistant. Nonetheless, its anti-aging features should be able to increase hydration, boost antioxidant levels, and rebuild damaged collagen.
Thus, based on these principles, our minimalist 3-step Pore Perfect Line is designed to treat all your Kapha skin issues:
1. Pore Perfect Cleanser
With pure Salicylic Acid from White Willow Bark, Yucca Root, Peppermint, and other botanicals, this organic cleanser seeks pore decongestion and removal of extra sebum/grime/debris, without drying out the skin or stripping of natural oils. It is also pH-balanced, which is important to inhibit the growth of bacteria and maintain an optimum acidic environment for maintaining healthy skin. Pore Perfect Cleanser is gentle enough to be used daily and suitable for both men and women.
2. Pore Perfect Hydrator/Toner
Working as a boost of hydration for your face, our Pore Perfect Hydrator/ Toner eliminates all trace of residues, pH balancing, and pore minimization. With concentrated pure distilled botanical extracts and sea minerals, this toning hydrator instantly brightens the complexion and allows deeper, more thorough absorption of anti-aging skin treatments.
3. Bioscience Peptide Complex
After you are done with the basics, our revolutionary peptide-based treatment is the most important part of your anti-aging skincare regimen for oily skin. It is non-irritating, lightweight, and free from synthetic chemical toxins in the form of perfumes, dyes, synthetic preservatives and emulsifiers. BioScience has a brightening and lifting effect on compromised oily skin. As it works to turn skin cells over more quickly, it is very useful for healing acne scars and delaying signs of aging.
BioScience Peptide Complex has our unique proprietary blend of DevaBright that reduces hyperpigmentation such as acne spots or dark spots within a 60-day skin cycle.
Exfoliation – An Indispensable Step for Kapha Skin
If you have Kapha/ Oily skin, exfoliation is an imperative part of your facial skin care. Proper exfoliation with the right set of organic ingredients is important to clean and keep pores clear, revealing a brighter complexion.
Puraveda’s Papaya & Honey Exfoliation Mask & Scrub should be used 2-3X times a week. The gentle fruit-acid based mask/ exfoliator detoxifies, while utilizing deep-pore exfoliation to prevent blackheads/acne formation, and restore uneven skin without irritation.
