Oily Skin

Oily Skin

Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous (oil-secreting ) glands produce more oil than is needed for proper lubrication of the skin. This excess oil can clog pores and cause blemishes. Oily skin is probably largely a hereditary matter, but it is known to be affected by factors such as diet and hormone levels. Humidity and hot weather also stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. It is a common problem in teenagers but due to various reasons it can occur at any age. Many people have skin that is oily in certain areas and dry or normal in others, a condition known as combination skin. In general the forehead, chin, nose (known as the t-zone area) and upper back tend to be oilier than other areas of the body.

Oily skin has its positive effects. It is slow to develop age spots, discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles. It doesn’t freckle or turn red in the sun on the contrary, it tans evenly. Oily skin on the negative side is prone to breakouts it gives skin a greasy feeling and enlarged pores.

Skin Care

Who don’t want to know the four basic steps of a complete skin care regimen prior to Eid. So here they are for you to read and follow!

Step 1: Cleansing - Simple is key here. You need to find a good cleanser that your skin responds well to, and stick with it! Cleansing helps get rid of unwanted and settled dirt, pollutants and grime. However make sure you do not over cleanse (makes skin taut and rashes may appear)!
Step 2: Exfoliate - Don’t be aggressive! Use mild, regular exfoliation to help lift off the excess pigment. Use scrubs with tiny grains and exfoliate once a week at least.
Step 3: Moisturize! Moisturizers seal moisture into skin. So how much should you moisturize? Your skin will tell you. When your skin is tight, it’s crying out for moisture. All skin types need moisturizing
Step 4: Apply Sunscreen! Most experts attest that sunscreen is the most important part of skin care regimen. Sun exposure causes skin damage, so it’s important to use sunscreen from your early years on even in winter and on cloudy days.
