However, the changes ability is not work always good, every time our age becoming old this cell who is work to rebuild the dying cell also growing old and cannot work 100 % as usual.Thats why our skin need treatment.

Then in life oil producing glands, grow less active, and skin dries out causing wrinkles. Our skin also have self temperature regulating by releasing fluids that called as sweat, beside have a function to regulate the temperature sweat also have function to secrete of our rest material from metabolism system.

Our skin stores water, fat and vitamin D. Our skin have two main layers, epidermis and inner dermis. Epidermis consist of various cells, and on the deepest layer or inner dermis is melanocytes, which produces melanin that coloring of our skin. The deeper side on the skin contains vessels for blood and lymph. Within this area of gland, which produce sweat and sedum (oil that keeps the skin from drying out). The pores allow oil and sweat to secrete to the surface of the skin.

So why we use oil skin treatment to makeup this to the skin, but the best make up to our skin it’s depend on the skin condition. Not all skin needs oil to make up, or drying agent to make our skin drying. We must choose what kind of product that really need to our skin and must choose a good product its mean safe product.
