Oily skin

Oily skin is one of the most common types of skin characterized by excessive greasiness. Both oily skin of men and women can pose aesthetic problems and sometimes also health problems. Some mistakenly make a subjective assessment of the skin type, considering it as oily complexion. Such an independent attempt to diagnose the skin may therefore result in its improper care and deepening of skin problems.

Oily skin characteristics

Oily skin is characterized by enlarged pores, as well as the formation of blackheads and acne lesions. Viscosity and excessive glow is characteristic of oily complexion, as well as grey, earthy colour, as well as the tendency of excessive keratinization of the epidermis. Oily skin is more prone to the formation of acne lesions. In addition, the oily skin may have the features of other problematic complexions, e.g. sensitive or capillary skin. It is best to identify the skin type of skin with a beauty salon  specialist. In the case of oily skin, primarily sebumetr is used for this purpose.

The causes of oily skin

The causes are manifold and one of the most significant are genetic predispositions. Another cause is hormonal disorders, especially those associated with puberty or pregnancy. Other factors that can foster oily skin are inadequate skin care, as well as a diet full of spicy spices, chocolate or coffee. It is important to take into consideration the negative impact of stress or excessive sun exposure. All these factors lead to excessive work of the sebaceous glands, which on the one hand fosters unaesthetic skin glow, but on the other creates ideal conditions for the multiplication of bacteria. In the light of the sebaceous glands, the cellous epidermal cells accumulate, and the excess tallow fosters the growth of bacteria and the formation of purulent lesions. In addition, all impurities accumulate in the extended skin pores, and thus a combination of oily skin and clogged poresis is commonly found.

Oily skin care

Oily skin care is reduced to the use of cosmetics dedicated to oily skin, as well as regular visits to the cosmetology surgery. Professional oily skin treatment includes microdermabrasion, laser therapy, chemical peeling with acid hydrogen purification. What is there to be gained for those with oily ski? These treatments brighten the skin, effectively remove dead skin cells, cleanse pores and remove blackheads and pimples, as well as minimize the risk of developing inflammatory changes.
