Oily skin is a common skin complaint. You may feel like you have permanent oily skin, or it may just be worse at specific times of the month, or during certain times of your life. Oily skin is a result of too much sebum. Sebum is the oily matter that protects your skin and hydrates it too.
When too much sebum is produced in your sebaceous glands, the result is skin that appears too oily. Sebum production is natural, but if too much is produced, you may get fed up with it. Oily skin can be a result of a number of factors. They include -

What things are bad for oily skin?
If you have oily skin, it’s wise to steer clear of products that contain beeswax, paraffin, petroleum, lanolin acids, and mineral oils.
Can I wear make-up if I have oily skin?
If you want to wear cosmetics, make sure you look for products that are non-comedogenic – that means they won’t clog your pores. A primer is a must for any overly-oily areas as it well help ensure your skin is ready for any makeup and it will stay put once it’s applied. Excess oil can be blotted using blotting papers. Try using powder-based makeup and foundations with a mattifying finish.
What aftercare is required?
During your consultation and after your treatment, you will be informed on what to expect and what aftercare you should do at home to ensure you achieve the best results.
