If you're looking for oily skin acne
treatments, mind you that there are in fact two
completely different yet complimentary approaches to
effectively treat oily acne prone skin. There is the
more famous external oily skin acne treatment that
tackles the problem from the outside using exfoliation,
cleansing, essential oils and blackhead removal methods,
and there is the internal acne treatment that prevents
the occurrence of oily skin in the first place. The best
choice of course is to combine both the external and
internal acne treatments for oily skin. In this way, one
can tackle the already exiting problem from the outside
while working to fix the internal environments that's
causing the skin to become oily.
Why do some people have oily skin while others don't?
The answer lies in the over production of sebum (oil) by
the oil glands. This is why we get more blackheads and
shine in certain areas like the T-zone where there are
more congested oil glands. The over production of sebum
is triggered by hormonal irregularities.
So what is the best external oily skin acne
treatment? First, if you have oily skin and multiple
blackheads, excessive scrubbing should be avoided and it
is recommended to only use mild antibacterial soaps and
cleansers. Harsh ingredients such as Benzoyl peroxide
can irritate, damage and dry the skin, making your oil
glands produce more oil to compensate. A TCA peel can
temporarily change the skin pH and thus will help to get
rid of excess oil.
Accutane is a very strong prescription that can
completely damage the oil glands, thus completely
stopping sebum production. The problem is that in most
cases this drastic oily skin acne treatment will be less
effective as time goes by and the side effects can be
quite severe.
A very good external oily skin acne treatment I have
personally found effective is Cypress oil, which
promotes cellular regeneration and helps balance oily
skin.
But oily skin is caused manly due to internal
imbalance and blackheads in particular are caused by
over production of sebum along with blood toxins that
find their way out through the skin. You can control and
treat blackheads and oily skin externally using the
above oily skin acne treatments along with tea tree oil
a high quality bentonite mask, apple cider vinegar, aloe
Vera and egg white masks. This will not remove all your
blackheads, but it will minimize your pore size and help
clear your pores of impurities that trigger blackheads.
It will also accelerate the healing process of your
skin.
With that said, the only way to stop the extra
oiliness and blackheads is to balance oil secretion
internally and fix the internal cause that's causing the
over production of sebum and the process whereby toxins
find their way out through your skin and form
blackheads.
The only way to achieve that is the holistic way. By
tackling the problem both externally and internally
simultaneously, one can treat existing oily skin while
stopping the cause from the inside (using specific
cleansing, liver building, supplementation, dietary and
lifestyle changes). This is the probably the most
effective oily skin acne treatment.
