Treating Oily Skin
If you have severe breakouts of acne, use cleansers that contain a mild amount of
salicylic acid that clears your skin. Moisturizer containing the same substance is also a
good follow-up.
Finally, try to watch your diet as well. Refined starches, sugar, and processed foods may
aggravate your naturally oily skin. Choose food that is low in fat and eat more fresh
fruits, vegetables, and grains. Drinking lots of fluids (6-8 glasses a day) of water, juice or
teas maintains good skin tone. Keep your vitamin and mineral intake up especially with
vitamins A, C and B complex.
It will take time for your skin to get into shape as far as being less greasy. But the effort
and discipline you put in will pay off. And as mentioned before, as you care for your
greasy skin now, the benefits of less wrinkled, dry skin will follow you years later.
