Oily skin treatment
I have oily/combination skin on my face and the texture seems to be getting worse. I’ve noticed that my pores are getting bigger, the complexion drier and I have more wrinkles. I can’t afford expensive face treatments or products. I know the drill of fruits, water and leading a healthier lifestyle but it isn’t easy to follow consistently. I’m worried and upset that in no time I’d be old and wrinkly-looking!
answer:
You have a situation where you have a lot of oil secreted on your skin, but the surface is dry. Your skin is not getting enough moisture (bear in mind that facial oil does not hydrate your skin), that’s why your complexion is getting drier. On the other hand your sebaceous glands are very active, producing too much oil, and that is the cause of the dilated pores. You need to get the right skincare products that are able to deeply moisturize your skin (an oil-free formula is better to prevent clogged pores) and at the same time control the production of sebum. Exfoliation is important too to encourage product absorption. And yes, diet and exercise is important in maintaining good skin, get sufficient rest as well. It’s difficult, but you have to make a lifestyle change if you want good skin throughout the year. It’s worth the effort, believe me.
