Tips to Combat Excess Oils and Fight Acne

             
Healthy Looking Skin is a Commitment, not a Miracle
Unlike women, who tend to be very conscious about their looks, men generally don’t pay much attention to their appearance and feel that their skin doesn’t require any kind of extra care. This is just not true – men need to take just as much care of their skin!
Let us show you how:  

Cleansing the skin regularly is helpful in preventing skin burns and other dermatological problems. As men’s skin tends to be on the oily side, any product that helps combat oil, such as an astringent or facial moisturiser that is lightweight and oil-free, is recommended. The key to avoiding acne and even premature ageing is to wear a good sunscreen that suits your skin type for healthy, younger-looking skin.

Washing your face too often prompts the sebaceous glands to produce even more oil. The oil in your face (technically known as sebum) is there because it lubricates and protects our skin. When we wash our face too often, our glands respond by producing more oil to protect it, just making your problems worse! So wash your face in the morning and before going to bed.

The human skin, which is the longest sense organ, comprises of 68% water. While cleansing or washing your face, use lukewarm water to relax your face and treat it gently. Extremely cold or hot water can dry out the skin.

The pores in our skin are like the roots of a tree, playing a vital role in the transformation of skin, blockage, and absorption of foreign materials which can damage our skin. Moisturising can help protect our face from oil, the sun, and other skin ailments, but make sure the moisturiser is oil-free otherwise the problem may be exacerbated. Another thing that may open pores and reduce acne is gentle scrubbing, which not only clears dead skin cells but also rejuvenates our skin and makes it glow.

Our diet influences the health of our skin. The healthier you eat, the healthier you look! We are tempted towards the fascinating food which is heaped with sugar, salt and oil which has a bad impact on our skin. Healthy looking skin can be attained only by consuming low fat products, protein rich foods and plenty of fresh fruits and green vegetables.
     
Yes, it’s really that simple! Try and include these simple steps into your daily regimen to get skin that looks and feels amazing.
