Oily Skin and Acne Health

by Sabina Carvalho

Acne is one of the biggest problems facing people with oily skin. Because oily skin is known to produce more sebum than other types of skin, it has a greater tendency to develop clogged pores and acne infections. The key to being able to control clogged pores and breakouts is to control the sebum in the skin.

The right cleansing routine can help you deal with mild and moderate acne. If you have severe forms of acne such as cystic acne or acne fulminans, then you should seek the help of a professional. These types of acne require the use of antibiotics and prescription acne creams.

Step 1: Cleansing

If you have oily skin you can use a soapy cleanser. However, stay away from soaps because they can dry out your skin and are in no way comparable to soapy cleansers. As a matter of fact, if you use a soap and your skin becomes dry, it will break or crack and let in acne bacteria.

Using a soapy, gel cleanser is great for your acne skin type, especially if it contains acne fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid or retinol. Both of these ingredients will help stabilize the production of sebum. The will also help balance out the rate of cell shedding and keep debris from clogging up the pores.

If you're the experimental type and would like to try a natural acne remedy, then you can make a milk of magnesia mask at home. Simply rub it in and rinse it off. It will strip away excess sebum immediately.

Step 2: Tone and Exfoliate

If your cleanser does what it is supposed to, you will not need a toner. However, if you feel that there is still residue on your face, use a toner to remove it. Just be careful and make sure that it is alcohol free.

Exfoliating, on the other hand, is something you should do regularly. Depending on your age and the state of your skin, you should exfoliate at least once a week. To exfoliate simply choose a scrub or use a product that contains salicylic acid.

A scrub is considered a mechanical exfoliant while salicylic acid is a chemical exfoliant. Both products are a good option, but the final choice will depend on your personal preferences.

Step 3: Moisturizing Oily Skin

You may believe that oily skin doesn't need a moisturizer, but that would be wrong. The problem with oily skin is an excess of oil, not moisture. With this in mind, choose a moisturizer that is oil free and apply it twice a day.

Step 4: Spot Treatment for Pimples

Spot treatment is essential to any acne remedy regime. Even if you are consistent with your skin care routine, it is possible to get an occasional pimple. This is precisely why it is important to use an acne cream to treat problem areas.
