Treatment and care for oily skin
There is no magical oily skin treatment. Regular care and appropriate treatment of oily skin can go a long way in keeping it clean and blemish free. Massage your face with upward and outward circular motions when cleansing it. Using warm water to dissolve skin oil while washing it is a good treatment for oily skin. However, do not use very hot water as it can strip the skin of essential oils. Do not expect results overnight. What is required is a holistic treatment of oily skin - internally and externally.
White or pink clay masks gently cleanse oily skin of excess oil. The darker brown clay masks are stronger and more effective on very oily skins. Apply a clarifying face mask a couple of times a week. Aromatherapy oils such as lemon, rosemary and cedar wood are said to be effective in treating oily skin. A few drops of any of these oils combined with lanolin can be massaged into the skin.
Topical vitamin derivatives with ingredients such as tretinoin and isotretinoin are prescribed by dermatologists to tackle sensitive oily skins. Products containing Benzoyl Peroxide also form part of the treatment for oily skin. They unplug pores and reduce bacteria. Antibiotic creams and lotions such as erythromycin and clindamycin are effective in treating blemished oily skin. Lotions containing AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is an effective oily skin treatment as it helps skin to become softer and smoother. Tea tree oil is also known to be beneficial to oily skin.
