Skin Care Chatter

For many teenagers one of the biggest challenges facing them is how to stop oily skin. Aside from the embarrassment of a greasy complexion, oily skin also increases the risk for acne outbreaks. Excessive oily skin is caused by overactive sebaceous glands, which are responsible for producing sebum that is needed in small amounts to lubricate our skin.

One of the biggest concerns for stopping oily skin is the constant cleansing. Although this works in the short term, the oil soon returns and too much cleaning product can aggravate the skin. Look for natural products with a low amount of alcohol to help minimize skin irritation. In order to permanently fix the problem, you’ll need a product that targets the sebaceous glands and decreases their production.
