How to treat oily skin prone to acne

We usually like to use the word "greasy face" to describe a person's oily skin. From a professional point of view, oily skin is caused by abnormal secretion of sebaceous glands and excessive oil secretion, which are caused by many factors, such as air environment, increased skin temperature, secretion disorders and poor diet. It is not because of oily skin. Oily skin is prone to acne. So how to regulate oily skin prone to acne?

When we say that a person has oily skin, from a professional point of view, we actually mean that a person's sebaceous glands secrete more sebum. Sebum secretion is affected by many factors:

1 Temperature. When the skin temperature rises, the amount of sebum increases. For every 1 degree increase in skin temperature, sebum secretion increases by 10%. The melting point of sebum is about 30°C, so sebum is liquid at high temperatures, semi-liquid at medium temperatures, and solid at low temperatures.

When the skin temperature rises, the viscosity of sebum decreases, the resistance pressure that inhibits sebum excretion decreases, and sebum excretion is vigorous. This is why your skin is oilier in the summer and drier in the winter.

2) Humidity. The humidity on the skin surface can affect the secretion and diffusion of sebum. When the skin surface is moist, sebum is easy to emulsify and spread; when the skin is dry, the secretion and diffusion of sebum become slow.

3 parts. Sebaceous glands are widely distributed throughout the body except for the hands and soles of the feet, with the most on the head, face, near the sternum, and between the shoulder blades. So we see that most people have oily T-zone areas on their faces.

4. Diet. Too much sugar, starchy food, greasy food, and spicy food can increase sebum secretion. Therefore, people with oily skin, especially those with acne, should not eat sweets, greasy and irritating foods.

5 years old. The amount of sebum secretion is less in childhood, increases significantly during puberty, and begins to gradually decrease after the age of 35. Therefore, children and middle-aged and elderly people have drier skin, while young people have oilier skin.

6Endocrine. The male hormones and adrenal cortex hormones in the human body can cause hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands and enhance the sebum secretion function. Therefore, male skin is generally oilier and has larger pores than female skin.

The amount of oil produced by the skin is closely related to the occurrence of acne. We know that people with oily skin have active sebaceous glands and secrete and excrete more sebum, so the face is oily and easily polluted.

How to treat oily skin that is prone to acne? The method is not difficult. Most oily skin is caused by not paying attention to your diet. Most people can tell from their faces. Generally, a layer of greasy feeling will appear on the face within a few minutes after cleaning. You should carry a facial cleanser or wet wipes with you to ensure a smooth face.
