OILY SKIN AND ACNE: What can I do?
Many people can be stressed by oily skin, especially when this problem affects the facial area. This skin type is the most prone to acne and other skin problems. This article will resume a little information on the causes and treatments of oily skin and acne.
EXCESSIVE SEBUM: The Main Cause of Oily Skin
Our skin relies on a natural moisturizer called sebum. This moisturizer is secreted by sebaceous glands, a component of your skin. An excessive production in sebum means oily skin and larger pores.
In some people a surge in the level of androgens (a sex hormone) during adolescence, takes normal skin and makes it oily. Androgens are responsible for the enlargement and stimulation of the sebaceous glands, making them to secrete more sebum. While this action is not directly responsible for acne, skin ends up with more fatty acids derived from the extra sebum. Extra sebum plus dirt on the skin leads to clogged pores which can lead to acne.
These glands are bigger and more active in the nasal area than any other areas of the face. This is why the nose tends to be a trouble area even for those with normal skin. The pores are also larger in this area, in order to accommodate the large flow of oil produced. Sebaceous glands are also heavily concentrated in areas like the chest, neck and back.
THE RIGHT METHOD, THE RIGHT PRODUCT: Caring for Oily Skin
Oily skin is a hereditary condition. As such, there is no simple cure for it or for the skin problems it produces. However, it can be controlled through the use of products and the proper skin care routine. The following suggestion can help you keep the oil and acne under control.
* Adequate cleansing is usually a good method to maintain this skin problem at bay. Avoid cleaning your skin with hot water, harsh soaps or cleansers. They will not prevent future flare-ups or improve existing acne. In fact, they usually make the problem worse.
* Stay away from oil-based cosmetics. They tend to clog pores and create further blemishes. Use non-comedogenic, water-based cosmetics instead.
* Never go to bed without removing your makeup. Avoid cold lotions and creams as a cleansing method. This will keep your skin clean and avoid clogged pores.
* Watch what you eat. Recent studies have shown that it is not chocolate or sweets that you need to watch, but iodine. Some specialists now believe that an augmented intake of iodine exacerbates acne, and they recommend the elimination or reduction of fish and iodized salt.
* Take some time to relax. Specialists have seen a connection between stress and acne for a long time. Studies have shown that the body secretes more androgens under a stressing situation. The elevation in androgens means an increase in sebum production. This increase can trigger acne flare-ups.
* Turn to natural acne solutions like BIOSKINCLEAR. This natural product and its organic, non-comedogenic components can alleviate your problem without producing undesired side effects. The licorice root extract present in BIOSKINCLEAR’s composition is responsible for controlling sebum production.
Keep these suggestions in mind and you will see how your oily skin and acne problem, clear up in no time.
