Oily Skin Care - Some quick tips
Oily skin isn’t the easiest to manage. Actually,
each skin type needs a dedicated management
style. Anyone can have an oily skin irrespective
of age, gender or geographic location. An oily
skin typically faces concerns such as acne,
blackheads, whiteheads, cyst formation etc.
Pollution and dirt can even lead to comedones for
those with very oily skin. The only way around is
to contain if not reduce the production of oil, and
prevent dust from coming in contact with the skin
by following these very simple oily skin care tips.
To wash your face is a must. Try washing at least
twice a day. Salicylic acid containing face wash is
ideal to reduce the oiliness of the face but over
doing it can cause lot of dryness and cracks.
Alternatively, benzoyl peroxide containing face
wash also helps in reducing oiliness of the face.
Word of advice would be to consult your
dermatologist before starting application of any
medicated face wash.
Cleanse the skin. There are two types of cleansers. One is for normal skin type and the
other is for oily skin. A proper and thorough skin analysis by your dermatologist prior to
using any cleanser is advisable.
Apply Sunscreen. Use of sunscreen daily in the morning before leaving for work is a must in
oily skin care management. Application of sunscreen forms a barrier and prevents the dust
from coming in contact with the skin, which can otherwise cause other problems such as
cyst formation, acne, comedones (commonly known as white heads and black heads), etc
to your skin.
Regular chemical peeling for people who do not respond to the above methods. Chemical
peeling with glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid on a monthly basis under
the supervision of your dermatologist, has been proven beneficial in controlling the oiliness
of the face.
Face Masks. Bi-weekly application of face masks containing glycolic acid along with the use
of a toner have been seen to be beneficial in a small subset of population.
Personal Habits. Regular use of moisturizers and creams as prescribed by your
dermatologist along with avoidance of squeezing or pressing of the pimples is an essential
part of oily skin care regime.
