Remedies for Oily Skin.

Oily skin is caused by over-active sebaceous glands that produce a substance called sebum, a naturally healthy skin lubricant. When the skin produces excessive sebum, it becomes heavy and thick in texture. Excess oil can lead to blemishes and acne flare-ups. The oily-skin type is not necessarily bad, since such skin is less prone to wrinkling, or other signs of aging, because the oil helps to keep needed moisture locked into the epidermis (outermost layer of skin). The negative aspect of the oily-skin type is that oily complexions are especially susceptible to clogged pores, blackheads, and build-up of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin.

Oily skin can be sallow and rough in texture and tends to have large, clearly visible pores everywhere, except around the eyes and neck. Thus, people have to pay special attention to their face and skin. When it comes to skin, oily skin is one of the major issue in most youth. Following tips will help to keep the oil and acne under control:

• Wash your face as many times as you can in a day.

• Wash your face with hot water. It dissolves oil more effectively than cool or lukewarm water.

• Choose the right cleanser: Whether you prefer bar soap or liquid cleansers, avoid products that have added moisturizers. Instead, you can use cleansers formulated specifically for oily skin. 
• Avoid eating fried and cheesy food.
