Oily Skin

Oily skin more often than not has open pores and an oily surface, with a predisposition towards pimples, blackheads and a sallow appearance. This due to the over-production of the oily substance called sebum by the oil glands in the lower layer of the skin. Unfortunately, the oily skin is the one most prone to acne. The good news is that this oiliness will make your skin stay younger.

Care for oily skin

It is very important not to treat oily skin too meticulously, although you may well feel that you want to take harsh action when you are faced with a fresh outbreak of pimples. Remember that over enthusiastic cleansing treatments can actually support the oil glands to produce even more sebum, and they will also leave the surface layers of the skin dry and dried out.

The best approach for oily skin is to use a range of products that gently cleanse away oils from the surface and unblock pores, without drying out and damaging the skin. The evident part of the skin actually requires water, not oil, in order to stay soft, healthy and elastic.
