Oily Skin Care: A Must Towards a Beautiful You
70Beauty has long been dependent on the eyes of the beholder. But beauty is nevertheless a blur in oily faces. The grease and shine could never contribute to a beautiful face no matter how impeccable your smile is. That is why there are a lot of oily skin care remedies that you can do to get the oil away from your face.
Before dwelling on the remedies to an oily face, it is but essential to understand how the face accumulates too much grease. Oily face is sometimes considered as genetically acquired. That means having an oily face runs in the blood. But it does not necessarily mean that you just have to let things be and suffer the setbacks of a greasy face. Moreover, medical experts have attributed having excess oil in the face due to over production of sebaceous glands. Oil is produced intensely along the forehead, along the chin and along the nose. The grease on the face is caused by the increase in sebum, a substance produced by the sebaceous glands. In normal amount, sebum moisturizes and protects the skin from environmental harms. It further improves the face by making it acne-free and wrinkle-free. However, when sebum is in excess, you suffer skin problems.
In addition to these factors, oily face can be caused by oil based cosmetic products that aggravate the oily skin problem. Soaps that are harsh and have high alcohol content disturb the skin’s natural protective layer which stimulates oil glands to produce more sebum and worsen the oily face. Moreover, certain foods like chocolates, greasy fried diets and soft drinks contribute to oil in the face. Heat and humidity, medications and smoking cause the pores to enlarge therefore leading excess oils to the surface of the skin.
The unlikely effects of an oily face has given rise to some oily skin care home remedies that will help you stop grease accumulation on the face include the following:
Wash your face 3-4 times a day. This does not prevent the sebaceous glands to produce excess sebum but it definitely prevents the scattering of oil in the face.
Never use too hot or too cold water for washing because it may either burn your skin or open the pores large enough for oil to spread.
Use soap that is suggested by your dermatologists however, you can still opt for the ones which you believe can cater to your skin needs.
Choose sunscreens and moisturizers that are oil free. To make sure they noncomedogenic (oil-free) make sure they are clear, light and watery.
Look for facial procedures that are especially intended for oily skin.
Refrain from applying moisturizers which mainly cause pimples when mixed with the oil in the skin.
Drink lots of water.
These tips are the basic foundation of oily skin care strategies that can be incorporated in your daily routine. Go beyond the hassles of an oily face as you follow the above-mentioned guides while eating Fruits rich in acids that hinder oil production in the face. Lemon, for instances, can dramatically transform your face into a non-grease feel. The lemon acids tighten up enlarged pores and remove blockages, clean oily and unclean skin. The procedure to using lemons on the face starts with mixing the juice with honey and milk (preferably cold) and stirs well. Apply the mixture onto the face and leave for about 30 minutes. Rinse well with tepid water and towel dry. Apply a little amount of moisturizing cream in order to avoid the clogging of pores.
More to lemons are other citrus fruits that bring about moisture and glow to the skin. Treating oily skin with fruit juices is one of the best natural remedy. Lemon, avocado, grape, papaya and pineapple are just a few of the many rewarding fruits in which their juices can effectively fight oily skin. These fruits could be effective when eaten or when used in baths. Fruit juices when mixed with water during baths will wash away the bacteria and will eventually wash away excess oil. Moreover, these fruits also lighten the skin’s dark spots. Since fruit juices tend to dry, apply a little amount of lotion to keep the skin moisturized.
The wonder of fruits and healthy hygiene are indeed essential to battling oily face and to radiate the beauty in you. Everything starts from within as a healthy personality and lifestyle bring about the best potential beautiful face that lay dormant because of your oily skin. Oily skin care is definitely in your hands. Act now before it is too late.

Never knew that about fruit juices. Very useful info. Thanks :-)
Agreed, really good info. Acne is so pervasive and it affects you your whole life!
Nice graphics
Oily skin has always been a bother to many women, even though it does have the effect of hiding scars and blemishes to an extent, including wrinkles. So some people with oily skin seem to look younger, but they have the problem of all that greasiness. Like you said, people with oily skin have to watch what they use on their skins, because those products might be harsh on their skins. Good hub. I'm into skin care myself.
