Oily skin results from overactive sebaceous glands and is often genetic, notesHealthline.
However, sometimes your skincare routine can contribute to producing more oil.
“I would avoid harsh scrubs, like those with walnut or apricot shells as the active ingredients.”
This will ensure that your skin doesn’t dry out and that sebaceous glands won’t over-activate.
“Salicylic acid is a key ingredient for acne,” dermatologist Dr. Ifeoma Ejikeme toldWomen’s Health.
“Choose 2% cleansers and use through the week ensuring you do not over-strip the skin”.
There is a belief that acne happens when skin is neglected or even dirty, but that is untrue.
“Acne is not because of unclean skin.
If you have acne-prone skin you should cleanse just as much as everyone else,” said Ejikeme.
Just like any other key in of skin, oily skin requires regular keep-up.
That includes both gentle cleansing and light moisturizers.
Ejikeme recommends cleaning the face for just 30 seconds twice each day to keep the skin in tip-top condition.
