How To Get Rid of Acne Scars

Which do you want first, the good news or the bad news? Let us start with the good news. Oily skin can actually age better than the normal or dry types.

Excess sebum is a sort of lubricant and it is also a great way to keep hydration at optimum levels so if you have this type of problem, oily skin care may be in a certain sense easier. Why? Because higher levels of moisture means fewer wrinkles and fine lines and your face will remain smoother and more supple for longer.

And the bad news? It is going to be challenging if you suffer from this condition to keep your complexion smooth, glowing and free from blemishes. But at least you will not have so many wrinkles!

What is the cause?

There are lots of causes and one of them is the contraceptive pill. Other causes could be an excess of hormones such as androgens which cause the sebaceous glands in our skin to go into overdrive. This usually happens in adolescence and is every teenager’s nightmare as the excess of sebum can clog the pores and that in turn can produce acne, pimples and blackheads.

What is the best oily skin care?

The greatest challenge is to get rid of the excess oil without actually causing dehydration. If too much is removed, the glands will go on producing more to replace it. The first thing to do is to find a mild detergent and to make sure that there are no mineral oils in it.

The second thing is to wash the face in fairly hot water and then rinse it with cold and then apply pure rose water. That is going to tighten up the pores and after that you can apply a moisturizer which is again, oil free.

Don’t wash your face more than twice a day as that can also stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce what you are trying to get rid of!

Other advice in oily skin care is to avoid drinking too much alcohol as this can lead to the liver being overworked in getting rid of toxins.

If you use special oils such as jojoba and babassu wax, these will actually help in hydration while keeping the production of sebum under control..
