The facts about Oily skin care

To start the discussion on oily skin care, it's imperative to first
understand the cause behind oily skin. Put simply, oily skin is a
result of excessive production of sebum (an oily substance that is
naturally produced by skin). As is known to everyone, excess of
everything is bad; so excessive sebum is bad too. It leads to clogging
of skin pores, resulting in accumulation of dead cells and hence
formation of pimples/acne. Moreover, oily skin spoils your looks too.
So, 'oily skin care' is as important as the 'skin care' for other types
of skin.
The basic aim of 'oily skin care' is the removal of excessive sebum or
oil from the skin. However, oily skin care procedures should not lead
to complete removal of oil. 'Oily skin care' starts with the use of a
cleanser. However, not all cleansers will work. You need a cleanser
which contains salicylic acid i.e. a beta-hydroxy acid that retards the
rate of sebum production. Cleansing should be done twice a day (and
even more in hot and humid conditions)....
