People with oily skin should wash their face at least three times a day, but bear in mind that excessive washing can stimulate your oil glands to produce more oil. Oily skin needs special cleansing with plenty of water and soap to prevent pores from getting clogged. Do not use products that are harsh on the skin, as these can strip your skin of its natural oils and leave it feeling taut and dehydrated and can hamper the flow of oil through the pores which can lead to blockages and cause problems such as acne breakouts.
When choosing a cleanser you should avoid using heavy cleansing creams and harsh soaps, as these will definitely stimulate the oil glands into action. You should use products that are oil based to cleanse your skin as they dissolve sebum effectively. You can choose soaps made of natural ingredients such as Aloe Vera based soap or a light medicated soap, if you prefer you can try using an antibacterial cleansing lotion and use it with mineral water, be sure that it is hot water as hot water dissolves skin oil much faster than lukewarm water. Avoid cleansers or lotions that contain alcohol, as they can be harsh on the skin.
If you have extremely oily skin, you should wash your face at least three or four times a day and avoid using any type of moisturizer, if you must use a moisturizer be sure that it is not an oil based moisturizer in order to maintain an oil free complexion. If your oily skin is flaky, you should try using a deep defoliant every other night, followed by a light coating of moisturizer. If you have sensitive skin you should try using a clay mask made out of white or rose colored clays.
Diet is also important in the treatment of oily skin, as with everything else, you should eat foods rich in proteins but without sugar and salt. Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables such as lettuce and cabbage and fresh fruits as apples, oranges and avocado. It is also important for you to take in vitamins and so foods rich in vitamins such as beans, nuts, and wheat germ which provided vitamins A and B. Also eat foods such as black beans and whole grain rice, which supply iron to the body to rejuvenate pale skin, Vitamin B2 is the most important vitamin for the condition of oily skin and the slightest deficiency of Vitamin B2 can result in oily skin. Drink plenty of mineral water to help keep the skin hydrated and to flush out toxins from the body.
