Troubled with Oily Skin??

Arrggghh...why do I have oily skin...

Read on to learn more and how to tackle oily skin.

Most Singaporean girls are troubled by the problem of an oily skin. However, another way to look at it, oily skin actually ages slower than other skin type. However, we wont want our face to look shiny at all times during the day, thus we should try to control the oil on our face.



Oily skin is caused by the over-active sebaceous glands (aka oily glands), that produces excessive amounts of oil towards the surface of our skin. Bacteria are in favor towards oily skin, and combined with the oil on our face and dead cells, it causes the pores to clog up, and later on form a pus, which is what we call pimples.

Oily skin are commonly caused by the imbalance of hormones, which can be caused by unhealthy eating diet, stress and lack of sleep. During Menstruation, you might find your face to be even oilier than norm, due to the greater imbalance in hormones.



Some tips for people with oily skin

1)Use Beautee Purifying/ Open Pores Ampoules on a regular basis. =)

2)Avoid food that is high in sugar and caffine

3)Plant extracts like Lemongrass, licorice root, and rosebuds are very good for oily skin

4)Use cold water to wash your face, as warm or hot water can stimulate the oil glands to produce even more sebum

5)When washing your face, rub gently in circular motion. But avoid very stimulating strokes which will make the oil glands even more active.

6)Avoid over-washing your face. [Twice a day is good enough] There is a protective layer on our skin, which is called the hydro lipidic film [made up of our sweat and sebum] which moisturizes and protects us skin. Over-washing will deplete this protective layer and thus your skin will react by producing more sebum.

7)Thus after washing your face, always apply a moisturizer so that your skin will not react by producing more sebum. For oily skin, always look for a water base moisturizer than an oil base.
