yes for sure,lacto calamine is best for oily skin. Lacto-Calamine was a popular skin lotion during early days. Calamine is another name for Zinc Carbonate. Lacto-Calamine was earlier used as a lotion for soothing the skin especially during summer. The lotion had germicidal properties and more importantly had a cooling effect on the skin. Calamine lotion was also used as a base for applying powder/other cosmetics on the face. In short, the brand was very popular in the early eighties.

Later for some reasons, the brand faded away from the market. There was no promotion, no marketing as such. The brand missed the new generation by miles. The brand's availability was restricted to medical shops .

Although I don't remember any ads of Lacto-Calamine, but I think that the brand was positioned as a complexion lotion. One report suggest that the brand had the tagline " Skinnoccence" meaning " Innocent skin". The brand was also prescribed by dermatologist for skin rashes and sunburns.

What does moisturizing do?

It gives your skin some moisture, keeping it hydrated. If your skin becomes too dry and lacking moisture, then it is a must to moisturize straight away! I recommend QV moisturizer, it has SPF 30+ and it is not oily to put on, I also recommend Nivea Be Beautiful Tinted Moisturizer.


Why does your hair get oily?

Because our hair collects all the bacteria and dust you go through everyday, our hair produces oils that acts as a natural protection or moisturizer that protects the hair. Also, the hair produce these oils from the oil glands on our scalp that makes our hair oily.
