Every people has different types of skin, like dry skin, normal skin and oily skin. Oily skin is shiny, thick and dull colored. Often a chronically oily skin has coarse pores and pimples and other embarrassing blemishes. It is prone to blackheads. In this type of skin, the oil producing sebaceous glands are overactive and produce more oil than is needed. Sebaceous glands is useful to smooth the skin and maintain skin moisture. But if our face is too oily, our face skin doesn’t look shine. Here are tips to lessen oily skin, quoted by Dr. Sandra Widaty, SpKK from FKUI:
- Washing your face is an easy way to remove the oil. But if you wash it too often, it will lead to reactive Seborrhea which will remove sebum, the skin becomes dry, scaly and itchy.
- Washing the face once a day with a soft foamy soap
- Drinking lots of water, if you are following the diet program.
- If you want to use facial soap that contains no chemicals, you should avoid soaps that contain alcohol. Choose a soap-based nature, such as olive, almond or avocado that has a function of the absorption and will help turn the skin and maintain skin moisture.
- Limiting eating spicy foods to reduce the oil content in the face.
- Using the appropriate cosmetics for facial skin.
