How to treat oily skin

Oily skin is one of the common skin types, which is characterized by excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, a rough, loose texture with enlarged pores, an unhealthy color and an oily sheen. It should be noted that this is one of the four existing types of dermis, i.e. a variant of the norm, and not as a separate disease.

Very often comedones (blackheads), acne, sebaceous gland cysts, seborrhea appear on such skin, i.e. there is a tendency to these negative phenomena, but oily skin does not mean problematic skin; with proper care, all these troubles can be avoided.

Oily facial skin - causes

  1. Genetic predisposition. In this case, the dermis does not change throughout life and remains oily, but such cases are few, only 5-8% of all cases.
  2. Adolescence . Most often, teenagers are the owner of this feature, but by the age of 25-30, oily skin turns into combination skin.
  3. Increased work of the sebaceous glands. This may be due to hereditary predisposition, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (cholecystitis, colitis, constipation), hormonal changes, nutrition (infatuation with spicy, fatty, starchy foods, alcohol, soda), work in conditions of elevated temperatures and dust, exposure to cigarette smoke, sunlight radiation.
  4. Hormonal reasons. Oily skin is typical during puberty, the second phase of the menstrual cycle, menopause, pregnancy, and prolonged stressful situations. It also happens against the background of hormonal treatment or long-term use of oral contraceptives, as well as abrupt cessation of taking hormones.
  5. Endocrine system disorders. With hypothyroidism, there is a general dryness of the skin and oily dermis on the face.
  6. Immunity impairment. A decrease in the body's immune defense can also manifest itself as this symptom.
  7. Improper hygienic care: aggressive cleansing of the skin with alcohol-containing cosmetics and scrubs, constant degreasing of problem areas, use of fatty creams, etc. Removal of the surface lipid layer leads to even greater compensatory work of the sebaceous glands. Frequent exfoliation injures the epidermis and activates the production of sebum, which is produced to protect the damaged surface. Oily creams clog pores even more and mix with sebum. Therefore, you should start looking for the answer to the question of why facial skin is oily from yourself.

Diseases in which one of the symptoms is oily skin:

  1. diabetes mellitus is a multisystem pathology affecting all organs and systems;
  2. cachexia, exhaustion in women - lack of building material for the synthesis of female hormones, against the background of which the level of male hormones increases;
  3. obesity – oily skin as a result of poor nutrition and excessive sweating;
  4. ovarian tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome - the phenomenon, again, is a consequence of increased levels of male hormones;
  5. hyperandrogenism in men - increased levels of male hormones in representatives of the stronger sex against the background of a passion for bodybuilding, sports and the use of synthetic testosterone for muscle growth;
  6. hypertrichosis is a disease characterized by excessive hairiness and changes in hormone levels, which, again, causes oily skin;
  7. liver diseases, such as fatty degeneration, hepatitis, since the liver performs an intoxication function, including removing excess hormones. A characteristic symptom is oily skin of the nasolabial folds and forehead.

When to see a doctor

Actually, you should consult a doctor in all cases when such a symptom occurs for no apparent reason, especially in adulthood. All complications require treatment - boils, carbuncles, phlegmon.

The fact is that sebum is an excellent breeding ground for the development of bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus, propionobacteria and streptococcus. By causing local inflammatory processes and actively multiplying, bacteria can infect healthy tissues and spread throughout the body, causing an extensive infectious process that can be fatal.

Characteristics of oily and combination skin

Localization

Most often these are the T-zones on the face: forehead, chin and nose. On the body - back and chest. Often accompanied by oily hair.

Appearance

Oily, thickened, rough, unkempt and shiny and uneven surface of the skin, with a grayish, dull color. Often the appearance resembles an orange peel - the pores are clearly visible and, with proper care, practically gape or are filled with liquid fat. With insufficient or improper care, pores become clogged - comedones, as well as acne and milia, form. Seborrhea and thaleangiectasia are possible.

Oily skin has its advantages: the constantly present natural oily mantle protects the skin from adverse external influences, prevents photoaging and loss of elasticity. It has been proven that people with this type of dermis age more slowly - wrinkles appear later and are less noticeable.

What should those with oily skin do?

  1. First of all, the negative influence of aggressive and inappropriate cosmetics and cleaning methods, which we discussed above, in the causes of the problem (alcohol-containing products, frequent peeling, etc.) is eliminated to the maximum.
  2. Fatty, fried, salty, smoked, pickled and sweet foods are excluded from the diet, or at least limited.
  3. The basis of the diet should be lean fish, white meat, veal, vegetables, fruits, bran.
  4. Under no circumstances should you go to bed with decorative cosmetics on your face. Ideally, you should cleanse your face immediately after returning home.

How to get rid of oily skin on the face - treatment

The solution to this problem is always complex, and there is no universal tablet that would normalize the condition of the skin. Treatment always begins with a blood test (for sugar, hormones), studying hereditary predisposition, medical history, etc.

How to care for oily skin

Daily care has several goals:

  1. removing excess sebum (but not overdrying);
  2. opening and cleansing pores;
  3. decreased activity of the sebaceous glands.

Care for oily skin can be divided into professional, which is carried out in beauty salons and beauty salons, and home, accessible to everyone.

Home Remedies for Oily Skin

Like any other type, oily skin needs cleansing, moisturizing and nourishing.

  1. You should wash your face 2-3 times a week using a special mousse, foam or gel for oily skin. These products have a sebum-regulating and cleansing effect, eliminate inflammation without overdrying.
  2. When cleaning, do not use various washcloths, sponges, as well as alkaline soap and too hot water. Initially, the effect will be very good, and the cleansed dermis will delight you with matteness. But after 10-15 minutes the oily sheen will appear again, because... both hot water and mechanical stress further stimulate the activity of the sebaceous glands. It is ideal to do everything with your fingertips or a cotton pad, without fanaticism, using warm or cool water.
  3. Instead of water, you can use an infusion of herbs: chamomile, mint, nettle, linden blossom, or use bottled water.
  4. After washing, the face is dried naturally and treated with a suitable tonic or lotion.
  5. The final step is to apply cream for oily or combination skin. A good cream has a light texture, absorbs quickly, leaves no residue and must protect against UV radiation.
  6. Deep cleansing - peeling - can be done once a week. But for cleansing, it is not recommended to use scrubs in the form of compositions that need to be applied to the skin and actively massaged. It is better to use film masks that effectively remove fat, dead epithelium, dirt, without injury or activation of the sebaceous glands.
  7. 1-2 times a week you can make homemade masks for oily skin from green or blue clay, which have an adsorbing effect, as well as fruit masks based on apples, kiwi, with the addition of lemon juice, which help normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands. Oil from raw potato pulp has a positive effect.
  8. Weekly lotions with sea salt, which are made using melt water (1 teaspoon of salt per 500 ml of water) and left for 5-10 minutes, have a good effect.
  9. You should choose decorative cosmetics with special care, especially foundation and makeup base - the products should also be light, quickly absorbed and easily washed off. It is best not to use foundations and powders.
  10. During the day, you should not touch your face with your hands, because... dirt and bacteria from their surface easily penetrate the pores and aggravate the situation.

The salon care procedure includes the following steps:

  1. removing makeup using special bactericidal emulsions;
  2. cleansing and toning with tonics and lotions;
  3. deep cleansing of facial skin and elimination of hyperkeratosis using one of the following methods:
  1. Enzyme peeling – cleansing with a special enzymatic composition that breaks down dead particles of epithelium and impurities;
  2. Disincrustation - galvanic cleaning using special solutions that liquefy old comedones and blackheads;
  3. Vaporization - gentle exposure to a steam jet at 40-50 C for 20 minutes, which leads to the opening and cleansing of pores, softening of dead epithelium;
  4. Ultrasonic cleaning – exposure to ultrasonic waves to cleanse desquamated epithelium and comedones. Ultrasonic waves also provide micromassage, activating blood circulation and increasing tone;
  5. Instrumental cleansing - cleansing the skin of comedones, blackheads and whiteheads using tools - Uno spoon, loop, Vidal needle. In rare cases, a special brush is also used, but selectively, in the most clogged areas;
  6. Dry cleaning - the use of a gel with glycolic acid, which allows you to remove surface “plugs”, tighten pores, and normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands;
application of ampoule products, various serums; gentle facial massage (according to Jacquet, lymphatic drainage); applying a mask that has anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, sebum-regulating, keratolytic and immunomodulatory effects; applying a special cream.

From hardware cosmetology, darsonvalization, chromotherapy, ultraphonophoresis, non-invasive mesotherapy, mud applications, biorevitalization, laser biostimulation, cryomassage have a good effect. These methods dry the skin, improve microcirculation and tissue nutrition, and also reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands.

At the end of the session, the cosmetologist should advise products and methods for home care and determine the frequency of salon procedures.

Is your facial skin shiny, covered with a layer of oil and acne? Do you regularly use special drying products, but have you noticed even more sebum appearing? Don't know how to care for such problematic skin? In this article you will find answers to your questions, so read carefully.

What information will you find out:

Possible Causes of Excessive Sebum Production

Dermatologists call oily skin problematic

The skin is an organ that instantly responds to any changes in the functioning of internal organs, hormonal conditions, diet, and lifestyle. In order to find out the reason for the increased production of sebum, you must first undergo a medical examination of the whole body. If the results do not reveal serious health problems, you can begin to independently solve this problem.

The main reasons for the appearance of oily shine on the face are:

  1. puberty;
  2. menopause;
  3. pregnancy and breastfeeding;
  4. abuse of cosmetics containing alcohol solutions;
  5. taking contraceptive medications;
  6. disorders of the thyroid gland;
  7. choosing low-quality or unsuitable cosmetics specifically for your skin type;
  8. insufficient cleansing of the facial skin;
  9. abuse of sweet, fatty, spicy foods, carbonated drinks
  10. washing with too hot running water, which helps activate the sebaceous glands;
  11. vitamin deficiency and nutritional deficiency of B vitamins;
  12. constant use of decorative cosmetics, in particular foundations and powders.

Basic mistakes in care

Masks based on white or blue cosmetic clay perfectly eliminate oily shine.

Dermatologists call oily skin problematic because due to increased production of sebum, it often becomes covered with acne, comedones (blackheads), and ulcers due to infection or dust and pathogenic bacteria getting inside the pores.

Those with oily facial skin make the following mistakes that can aggravate the existing problem:

  1. Alcohol-containing lotions or solutions are regularly used. Everyone thinks that alcohols can dry out oily skin and regulate the functioning of the sebaceous glands, but this is not so. Everything happens just the opposite, that is, the more you wipe your face with alcohol lotions, the more the skin will secrete its own oil. Since alcohols excessively dry out the epidermis, a signal is sent to the receptors, and they instantly respond to this by activating the glands to produce sebum.
  2. Washing with hot and hard tap water and soap also provokes increased secretion of sebum, so its temperature should be room temperature or cool. Rubbing the skin of the face after each wash with ice cubes based on herbal infusions of chamomile, nettle, St. John's wort, celandine, calendula, and string helps a lot with oily seborrhea.
  3. Oily skin needs frequent use of all kinds of scrubs and peelings that deeply cleanse the pores of keratinized (dead) cells, impurities and fat accumulated in their ducts, which causes blockage and subsequent formation of acne.
  4. The use of nourishing creams and masks with a high lipid content is strictly contraindicated for such skin. Light consistencies in the form of mousses and gels are suitable for you, deeply moisturizing and allowing the skin to breathe normally.
  5. When applying foundations with a high content of fats and oils, the pores instantly close and provocative secretion of sebum is provoked. At the same time, the skin does not breathe at all, constantly shines and becomes covered with acne.

Homemade cosmetic masks have shown good results for regulating sebum production, which need to be done 2-3 times a week for a month to get the desired result.

Do not forget that masks are applied exclusively to clean skin, free from daily pollution and decorative cosmetics, otherwise they will not bring any effect! Keep such compositions on the face for 20–30 minutes, after which they are washed off with cool water and gently blotted with a disposable paper towel. It is not recommended to apply caring cream after using masks for oily skin in the warm season!

Causes of oily skin

The problem of oily skin is faced not only by young people during puberty, but also at an older age.

The main reasons that provoke increased production of sebaceous glands are:

  1. disruptions in the functioning of the endocrine system;
  2. genetic predisposition;
  3. constant stress, depression;
  4. unbalanced diet;
  5. smoking, drinking alcohol.

Manifestations of oily skin problems

There are four skin types: oily, normal, combination and dry. The first skin type is characterized by increased activity of the sebaceous glands, which are regulated by sex hormones.

During the period of maximum hormone levels (in youth), the skin is the most oily. With age, hormone levels and sebum in the skin decrease. The sebaceous glands of all people react to changes in hormonal levels, but the degree of manifestation and sensitivity varies from person to person, which is determined genetically. Therefore, the manifestations may be different. In women, changes in fat content are also associated with the phases of the menstrual cycle; they can increase during pregnancy.

Although from an aesthetic point of view, oily skin does not look as attractive as other skin types, it also has its advantages:

  1. resistance to environmental influences;
  2. tans better;
  3. slower aging and later appearance of wrinkles;
  4. does not lose its softness and moisture with age;

  2. scars and post-acne;
  3. presence of pigmentation;
  4. vascular network on the skin;
  5. peeling;
  6. greasy shine.

Another problem with oily skin is comedones:

  1. black comedones - blockage of the ducts of the sebaceous glands;
  2. white comedones are small white pimples that are not accompanied by inflammation.

If increased fat secretion on the skin is pathological, the disease is called seborrhea; the main factors in its development are disturbances in the functioning of the sebaceous glands. The presence of this disease on the skin manifests itself in redness and the appearance of small pimples in the area of ​​the “seborrheic butterfly” - above the upper lip or around the nose. When purulent rashes occur against the background of seborrhea, the disease is called acne.

• thorough cleansing of the skin - washing only with cool (not hot or warm) water, in the morning and evening. Do not use soap for washing; it is better to choose a gel or foam for oily facial skin;
