Oily skin is caused due to an excess production of sebum (the natural oil produced by the body) and can be easily remedied by following a few simple preventive measures. As far as possible avoid eating foods with excessive oil in them or foods that are deep fried. Before applying your make-up, always remember to first use some astringer lotion on your skin (leave the lotion on for about five minutes) and then apply your make- up. Wash your face as many times as possible during the day, preferably with cold water. Apart form these preventive measures you can also try any one of these two natural remedies. One, take an equal quantity of cucumber and lemon juice and mix it together. Apply the mixture to your face or body and leave it on for about fifteen minutes and then finish with a cold or lukewarm shower .Carry this out for about a month in order to yield effective results. Two, fill half a glass bowl with water and add about five –six drops of alcohol or eau de cologne. Refrigerate the solution for one hour and then apply the same to your face with a cotton swab whenever necessary.
Acne includes white heads, pimples and black heads and is caused due to the clogging of pores in the skin surface. It is generally most prevalent on the neck, back, face and shoulder areas. Taking care to prevent future acne outbreaks and a current outbreak is relatively simple. Wash your face at least twice a day with a facial cleanser or a mild acne soap, but make sure to do so in gentle circular motions. Avoid directly scrubbing the areas that have acne, rather just lightly rub these areas with your fingers. This will avoid the chances of them breaking or bursting and hence spreading further. You can also apply an over the counter prescription cream to your face after washing; in order to decrease the build of bacteria and oil again. There is no exact way to wash your face when it has acne. All you have to do is follow some of the recommendations given above and you should be fine. However, under no circumstance should you try and pop a pimple. Bursting or popping it only pushes the bacteria further down into the skin and increases the local inflammation. When choosing a facial cleanser, use ones that have oil free or non- comedogenic labels. Also avoid over use of facial cleansers or soaps because they can cause irritation and mild damage to the skin.
