Oily skin care

admin — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:09:55 +0000

People who have oily skin know that this type of skin is the result of excessive production of sebum ( naturally produced by skin oily substance). Excessive sebum leads to clogging of skin pores, which in turn results in accumulation of hence formation of pimples/acne and dead cells. Of course, oily skin care is as important as other skin types treatment.
First of all you need to remove excessive sebum or oil from the skin. But you need to remember that oily skin procedures should not remove oil completely. You will need a cleanser with salicylic acid - a beta-hydroxy acid that retards the rate of sebum production. You should cleanse your skin two times a day, and even more in humid and hot conditions.
Most of the products for oily skin care doesn’t contain oil, but you should check ingredients anyway to elude the worsening of the situation. This is very important when product is marked as a product for all skin types. But, if your skin is not too oily you can sometimes use skin care products marked “for all skin types”, and if your skin is extremely oily then you should stick to those marked “for oily skin” only. Everyday oily skin care may include an alcohol based toner (for an excessively oily skin). Remember that excessive toning may harm your skin.
After that you shold use a mild moisturiser. Again, the degree of oiliness of your skin will determine whether you need to include this in your oily skin care routine. If you do decide to include a moisturiser, be sure to use one that is oil-free, wax-free and lipid-free.
You could also use a clay mask (approximately once a week) as an oily skin care measure.
Sometimes you need to experimentally determine which of the oily skin products are better for your skin. If you haven’t achieved the desired result, don’t get upset. You should consult a good dermatologist for advice, he will definitely find a sloution for your problem by prescribing best skin care products, including sulphur creams, retinoids, vitamin A creams and many more. That’ll definitely help
you with your oily skin problems.

People with sensitive skin experience much more problems from environmental factors, including cold weather, sun, pollutants and chemical ingredients in toiletries. The most sensitive part of the skin to environmental changes is stratum corneum, which is also called skin barrier.

Basically all face masks have some sort of a cleansing action. Various ingredients are used in the masks, depending on the skin type. Clay, form an important constituent of many face masks. They help to remove dirt, sebum, and dead skin so that the skin looks clean, soft and youthful.

Fullers earth is a special type of clay often used in face packs. It contains aluminium silicate. As it dries on the skin, it absorbs the superficial dead cells and blots up any excessive oil on the skin. It is therefore excellent for an oily skin but should not be used on dry skin. Kaolin is also a fine clay which has been used for tummy upsets because it absorbs toxins from the system. It removes grime, oils and dead cells. Kaolin is also best for oily skin and best avoided for dry skin.

Another ingredient of some of the masks is the peeling or the exfoliating agent-these remove the top layer of dead cells from the skin, leaving behind fresh youthful skin. Oatmeal and bran are the commonly used peelers. Oatmeal is obtained from oats which is rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E.

Also added to many masks are natural ingredients-cucumbers, curds, lemon juice and Brewer’s Yeast. It restores the acid / alkali balance of the skin.

Cleansing is the first essential step in your daily skin care routine.

Cleansing the face 2-3 times a day; is adequate for normal skin. If your skin is oily a more frequent cleansing i.e. 4-5 times a day is necessary. If your skin is dry it is best to avoid frequent washing and you may have to use a suitable oil-based cosmetic cleanser instead of soap, which has a dry effect.

There are several alternatives to soap and water cleansing. Cleansers can be in the form of creams, milks, lotions, gels and liquids. All are, a mixture of oil, wax and water which have been formulated to suit different skin types. A cotton -pad dipped in fresh milk available at home, is an equally effective cleanser.

The right way to apply cleansers and creams on your face is in an upward and outward movement. The skin should not be stretched, dragged or pulled. Leave the cleanser on for a minute or two so as to loosen the dirt and make up. Remove it either using a cotton wool or with a tissue paper, again using an upward and out ward movement. Finally rinse with water.

Skin can be divided into various types according to its texture. It is essential to know the various types of skin, so that its treatment can be done accordingly.

Normal skin
Dry skin
Oily skin
Combination skin
Sensitive skin

Normal Skin

It has a fine even texture with a supple and smooth surface. It has a proper balance between oil and moisture contents and is therefore moist and neither greasy nor dry. It looks clear and does not develop spots and blemishes. The pores of the skin are fine and barely visible. It reflects good health and needs gentle treatment.

Dry skin

Dry skin has a dry parched appearance and has a tendency to flake easily. It is prone to wrinkles and lines. It is due to the inability to retain moisture as well as the insufficient production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Dry skin often has problems in cold weather and ages faster than normal or oily skin. Constant protection is very important. It needs a moisturiser during the day and a good cream at night.

Oily skin

This type of skin is caused by the over secretion of sebum making the skin surface oily. The excess oil on the surface of the skin attracts dirt and dust from the environment. oily skin is also prone to black heads, white heads, spots, pimples and such skin will never be clear. This type of skin needs to be cleansed thoroughly.

Combination skin

This type of skin is very common. As the name suggests, it is a combination of both oily and dry skin with certain areas of the face oily and the rest dry. Usually there is a Central greasy panel consisting of the forehead, nose and chin and a dry panel consisting of cheeks and the areas around the eyes and mouth. The greasy central panel is referred to as T - Zone. In such cases, each part of the face should be treated accordingly - the dry areas as for dry skin and the central panel as for oily skin.

Sensitive skin

This type of skin has a fine texture and is very sensitive to changes in the climate. They show the disadvantage of bleaching, Waxing, threading etc.
