Oily skin is caused when there is over production in the sebaceous glands. Studies also show that oily skin can be hereditary. Oily skin is advantageous because it is slower in showing wrinkles unlike the other skin types. It can be a disadvantage because it is prone to pimple breakouts and large pore. It also makes one to have a greasy look.
If one has an oily skin, maintaining and taking care of it can be quit easy as one only needs to clean it 2-3 time a day with tepid water as hot water will remove moisture from the skin. Avoid using different product on the skin. Once you get the product that suits you best you should stick to that.
Avoid using products or soaps that make the skin dry. This will not help reduce the oil but only increase it as the skin will tend to produce more once it detects that it is becoming dry. Instead use oil free products that will not add up oil to the skin.
See a dermatologist and ask about the available retinoid that will help to reduce oil product and one that suits you perfectly. Eating healthy is a major step in taking good care of oily skin. Avoid foods that will trigger oil production in the skin. If it’s a must you wear make up, then buy products that are suitable for oily skin.
