Oily skin

For people with oily skin, blackheads and frequent acne outbursts will be common occurance. Pimples will pop up regularly, pores will often be enlarged and your will often have a oily or "shiny" T-Zone. This excess oil on the face and T-Zone area attracts dust and dirt, which can in turn lead to clogging and acne. This type of skin is prone to;

  • Blackheads
  • Whiteheads
  • Pimples/spots/zits

Oily skin people will have a relatively darker skin color.  Facial lines are usually very few to none in occurance, and oilly skin usually stays preserved longer and does not age as quickly as do the other skin types.  When exposed to the sun, this skin type rarely burns, but rather tans easily. This type of skin needs to be cleansed thoroughly on a regular basis, at least morning and night.

Oily skin treatments

For people with oily skin, the perfect home remedy is to apply a paste made by mixing sandalwood and few drops of rosewater on the acne affected area for about an hour and then wash off gently with water, and see the magical results!

Also, moisturise your face regularly, many believe that this will actually increase the oil and grease on your face, but it infact balances it out and reduces the excretion of oils.
