Oily skin has many causes – heredity, hormones, stress and cosmetics can all play a part. It’s also more common among teenagers.
The condition often leads to pimples, blackheads and other blemishes, but as yet there is no easy cure.
Here are the tips on fighting the oil glut:
Make mine mud
Clay or mud masks infuse the dry skin with moisture and make the skin plump, firm, soft supple and hydrated. The effects however are temporary, so repeated use is recommended.
Keep it warm
Warm water works better with cleansers to clean oil off, in addition, it has the effect of opening the pores and facilitating cleansing.
Choose cleansers carefully
Soap-free free cleansers for the face. They cleanse the debris accumulated without stripping the skin excessively.
Avoid astringents
Astringents sometimes used as a toner after cleansing, can do more harm than good. The effect of strong astringents is the same as that of strong soaps, and excessive stripping of skin oil is not the answer. Instead, toners with antioxidants such as vitamin C are recommended.
Select cosmetics with care
No one brand is suitable for everyone, despite claims of 100% allergy or skin testing. Oil based make-up wears better and lasts longer but may produce acne. Water-based products are lighter, but you may need to apply them more often.
Don’t take a powder
Baby powder absorbs the oils and keeps them on the face. It’s ineffective, uncomfortable and unsightly. Oily skin tends to age better and wrinkle less than dry or normal skin.
