In Search for The Best Face Wash for Oily Skin

Updated on July 9, 2012

Your skin becomes oily due to the presence of over active sebaceous glands beneath the epidermis layer of the skin. These glands are more active in the irregular region of the face like the forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. Oily skin easily attracts dirt and grime. Deposition of dirt on the facial pores leads to clogging of the cells pores. Thus the skin stops breathing and produce acne, wrinkles and other problems. Actually oily skin suffers from skin problem more than dry skin. So removal of excessive oil from your facial skin is very important in order to avoid skin problems and for this, there is no alternative to a perfect face wash for oily skin.

Best face wash for oily skin

Oily skin naturally accumulates dirt and dead skin daily on the face over time. So you need a cleanser to remove those everyday. Of course you are not the only person in the market who is searching for a perfect face wash for oily skin. There are thousands like you and then thousands of face wash brands too.

Remember, the best face wash for oily skin is a glycolic cleanser. Glycolic acids are effective for exfoliating the skin and peeling back the dead skin layer. It requires no mechanical scrubbing. The most common type of glycolic acid is Alpha Hydroxy Acid that is known and printed on the pack of face washes as AHA. Salicylic Acids like Beta Hydroxy Acid which is known and printed as BHA, are also good. BHA is effective to kill the bacteria that clog the pores of the cells. BHA also prevents skin diseases like psoriasis and calluses. BHA sometimes affects the skin color, so if you have darker skin tone, it is better not to use face washes containing BHA.
