Treating Oily Skin

For now, there is no quick-fix solution to successfully treat oily skin. Patience is your
best tool since you are addressing not a surface problem but one that is inside your body.
Success may take a while to achieve and in some cases may actually need professional
medical attention. And in most cases, the condition is simply put under control and never
totally resolved. Even then, the skin will improve its condition and the objective to not
have greasy shiny skin will be closer than ever. (Here’s where you can find more detailed
information on best

First thing to do in treating oily skin is to get rid of the excess sebum on your face,
without total drying out your skin. Too much washing and “degreasing” can actually
make things worse since stripping your skin of oil will cause your oil glands to work
overtime in producing more sebum.

The correct and balanced method is to clean the skin with a very mild detergent or
surfactant. It should not contain oils or other “fatty” substances that can increase the oily
condition you already have. This kind of product removes the greasy feel of too much
sebum and cleans away the surface grime that has built up because of the oil. (Here’s

Some products contain small amounts of AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) that gently remove
dead cells from the surface exposing a fresher layer of skin. Use this on a regular basis to
get the intended results. Follow this up with a light (no creams and oils, preferably a
water-based) moisturizer just so that the drying effects of the cleanser can be
compensated for.
