Article: - Coping with teenage oily, spot-prone skin

Most teens have oily skin at some time or other.  This is mostly because your hormones are running riot and telling the sebaceous glands in your face that they should produce more sebum.  If your parents also have oily skin then you have a particularly raw deal as your genes also have a part to play in the state of your skin.  

The problem with oily skin is that as well as feeling not too nice, it can lead to all sorts of horrid stuff like spots, blackheads, acne and open pores – none of which are too great when you want to be looking your best.

Help! What can I do about my oily skin?

There isn’t much you can do about your hormones or your genes but don’t despair – there is plenty you can do to reduce that shine!  Here are some top tips and tricks for coping with teenage oily skin from the Oy! natural skin care team:

-    Wash your face two to three times a day using a gentle cleanser – like Oy! Foaming Face Wash.  This has Green Tea, an anti-inflammatory to calm spots, and Willow Bark extract, which kills nasty acne bacteria.

-    Use a toner.  Handily, the Oy! Foaming Face Wash also has a toning effect, helping to close the pores on your face.

-    Use a moisturiser. This probably seems a bit weird, considering that your skin isn’t exactly dry.  However, it’s definitely worthwhile giving it the nourishment of a light, natural moisturiser.

-    Use a deep-cleansing mask twice a week – we recommend using the Oy! Organic Face Mask with Green Tea to get all that nasty gunk out your pores.

-    Avoid oil-based ingredients at all costs, as these will just block up your pores more.  You can rest assured that all Oy! skin care products don’t contain any oil or other pore-clogging ingredients.

-    Use warm water when you are going through your skin care routine rather than hot, and rinse thoroughly to ensure all traces are removed.

-    Don’t go to bed with your make up on!  Always cleanse before bedtime, as well as in the morning.

-    Try not to touch your face too much.  This transfers bacteria to your skin, making spots more likely.

-    Drink filtered water – and plenty of it.  Water is great for your skin and filtering it will take out all the impurities, making it even better for you.  Find out why being wetter is better!

-    Eat plenty of leafy greens, fresh fruit and foods rich in omega 3.  Vitamin B2 deficiency has been linked with oily skin too so you might like to try eating more whole wheat, beans and nuts, which are rich in it.

-    Avoid junk food, highly-seasoned and fried food, soft drinks and sugar.  When you get tempted, just think how much good you are doing your skin!
