Oily Skin Remedies When an appropriate product or cream is not used for the oily skin then it can further spoil the look of the skin. For example if you choose a product or cream which is meant for dry skin then you skin will look oiler with in few hours of its application. Oily skin is considered a good skin because it has an advantage – it ages at a slower rate than any other skin type. With proper care you can make your oily skin well presentable and beautiful. Oily skin type needs special care because oily skin often has large pores, pimples and blemishes. It needs to be kept clean with lots of hot water and soap to prevent the pores from getting clogged. However harsh products which strip the natural oil present in your skin should be avoided. These products cause the upper layer of the skin to shrink thereby restricting oil flow in to the pores which can cause blockage and breakouts. For oily skin use correct oil based products. These products dissolve with the natural sebum effectively; but when it comes to moisturizers use oil free moisturizer in summer as they will help you to maintain a shine free complexion. Limit washing your face two-three times a day in summer even if you feel oily because more washing will stimulate more oil production. Preferably use hot water to wash your face whenever possible because hot water dissolves the skin oil better than cold or lukewarm water. If your skin is extremely oily then you can wash your face for three to four times with hot water, but any application of moisturizer is not necessary till you are 30 years old. Before applying any makeup use antiseptic day cream which has benzyl peroxide as an active ingredient, as it will help to diminish the sebaceous secretions. Otherwise for regular use, use the creams which are specially designed for oily skin.
