Oily Skin Treatment in Seattle
Oily skin is common. With oily skin, you notice larger pores, a shiny complexion, and acne. If you live in a hot, humid environment, you may be particularly prone to oily skin. There are specially formulated cleansers, toners, and moisturizers for oily skin that can help. Oily skin happens when glands in the skin secrete too much oil (lipids). Oily skin can produce:
- Enlarged pores
- Dull or shiny, thick complexion
- Blackheads, pimples, or other blemishes
Oiliness can change, depending upon the time of year or the weather. Oily skin can be caused or worsened by:
- Hormonal imbalances
- Stress
- Antibiotics
- Exposure to heat or too much humidity
Easy tips for taking better care of oily skin:
- Wash your skin no more than twice a day and after you perspire heavily.
- Use a gentle cleanser and don’t scrub.
- Don’t pick, pop, or squeeze pimples. This prolongs healing time and promotes scarring.
- Use products labeled as “noncomedogenic.” They don’t tend to clog pores.
