Oily skin problems and ways to deal with them ?

Do you have oily skin? Then you have come to the right place that will guide you to the best ways to take care of it and control its problems, according to the recommendations of the best skin and skin treatment specialists:

Do you suffer from excess oils, open pores, and shine, especially in the forehead and nose area, and in many cases you may have annoying pimples, then these are the signs of oily skin that you are one of its owners!

Skin cells usually produce natural oils that help them maintain healthy skin, but sometimes this production may exceed the normal limit, causing skin blemishes, acne and other problems that accompany what is known in this case as oily skin.

People with oily skin may think that they were born with a permanent problem that is difficult to control and get rid of, and we find that many of them have tried many cosmetic and medical treatments, to no avail! Or soon their previous problems returned to their beginning after a period of time.

Make sure to use the right lotion

It is very important to choose the most suitable type of cleanser for your skin , and to make sure to clean and sterilize your skin with it every morning and evening. Specialists usually advise using gentle cleansers on the skin and avoiding harsh soap options that may lead to skin irritation and increased oil secretion in the skin. It is also advised to avoid rubbing the face, especially when drying it with a towel, as this process may increase the secretion of skin oils, so be sure to dry your face gently while making sure that the towel is clean and that it is for you alone and no one else uses it either.

When choosing a cleanser, take into account that it contains one of the following acids, which are considered the most famous in counteracting oils, balancing them and treating acne:  

• Benzoyl peroxide.
• Salicylic acid.
• Glycolic acid.  
• Beta-hydroxy acid.

And we advise you when choosing any product that contains one of these acids to try it for a period of time by buying a small amount of it, if it is not effective and appropriate, you may switch to trying another product. 
As for the water that you use to wash your face or skin, we do not recommend using hot water that may irritate the skin, but rather use lukewarm water.

It's time to treat acne and oily skin
Is it necessary to use toners?
   Of course, it is important to mention to you here the topic of using tonic, which is usually promoted by a large group of cosmetic specialists as the perfect solution to the problem of acne and enlarged pores, and as a cleanser and disinfectant for the skin, and a contributor to regulating its secretions! The truth is that dermatologists are divided into two groups regarding its treatment of pimples and oily skin problems, so you find some of them encourage its use, and another section may not find it has a positive effect on the skin, but on the contrary it may irritate the skin, and may lead to the secretion of more oils, Many specialists advise using tonic on specific areas only if people with oily skin decide to use it. These areas include the forehead, chin and nose, while avoiding using it on dry areas of the skin, as this may lead to spots on the skin.

What about medical absorbent pads, blotting papers, and loose powder?

There are some specialized medical pads for the treatment of oily skin, which are preferred by many people, as they help regulate the secretion of oil in the skin and are easy to use. They can be carried in your purse and wherever you go. It may contain in its ingredients salicylic acid, glycolic and other therapeutic acids, which makes it effective in combating acne. 

Also, as an alternative to medicated pads and as a quick solution to get rid of the oils that your skin secretes during the day and during a long hard day, blotting papers will be ideal for absorbing and eliminating these oils. Simply, you can carry it with you in the wallet and use it at any time by placing it for 15 to 20 seconds on oily areas such as: forehead, nose and chin. 

There are currently some types of loose powder and transparent powder that may have the same action as blotting paper, as they can be applied to the skin while they are transparent and do not give any dye or color to the skin, and their mission is to absorb excess oils and reduce them.

This'S how TO keep face skin healthy and attractive!

Do clay masks really work? Is it worth avoiding the use of moisturizers?

There has been a recent promotion of many clay and specialized masks to cleanse the skin, regulate its secretions, absorb excess oils, and tighten pores. And the advice of specialists regarding it is that it be used on the places that suffer from the problem only, and not to repeat resorting to it except in special cases.

As for moisturizers, you will find that most people with oily skin avoid using them for fear of increased secretions, skin shine problems, and excess oils! This is not true, as the advice of specialists says the opposite, because even oily skin needs moisturizers, but not any type of moisturizer, but only oil-free moisturizers.

Make sure to use an oil-free sunscreen

What is indisputable is the importance of using sunscreen to protect the skin and skin from ultraviolet radiation and its damage. The use of traditional sunscreens usually causes a problem for those with oily skin, as they are usually not absorbed and work to close the pores. However, there are some products, especially gel and oil-free creams, that are intended only for oily skin. There are also some cosmetics that may provide sun protection in their content and can be used.
