Managing Oily Skin

There are many different skin types, with some people having very dry and flaky skin and others suffering oily skin.  Most people fall somewhere in between these extremes.  However, if you contend with oily skin on a regular basis, your skincare regimen can be much more frustrating than those with dry or combination skin.

If you are trying to cope with oily skin, you may be using the wrong products for your skin type.  Many people overcompensate with skincare products, which can easily dry out your skin and make it even more slick later.  The skincare experts of Skin Begins offer a variety of products specifically addressing oily skin.  Contact us today at 713-662-3376 to discuss our specially-designed oily skin products.

Causes of Oily Skin

Oily skin is most often caused by excess production of sebum due to the presence of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT.  DHT usually produces more sebum, or oil, during the adolescent stage, which is one reason that preteens and teenagers seem to suffer more from oily skin than other people. However, even those who are out of their teens can suffer from excess production of sebum.

How to Treat Oily Skin

There are many skincare products out there that claim to cure oily skin.  There are some natural remedies as well that you should consider. In addition to quality skincare products, you can also try the following tips:

  • Wash your face at least twice per day
  • Exfoliate your skin twice a week
  • Use non-oily moisturizer
  • Wear only oil-free makeup
  • Keep your hands away from your face

Taking these steps may make handling your oily skin more manageable.
