Why does skin become oily?
The reason is the increased activity of the sebaceous glands that produce liquid fat (sebum). This is influenced by various factors, including:
- Disturbed hormonal levels. A problem that often affects teenagers, pregnant women, women in some phases of the menstrual cycle and during menopause. Disorders of the thyroid and pancreas can lead to hormonal imbalances, leading to increased sebum production.
- Poor nutrition. Eating fast food, preservatives, fatty or starchy foods also leads to increased activity of the sebaceous glands.
- Improper skin care. It is necessary to minimize the use of alcohol-containing products. Alcohol dries the skin, removing moisture, but not liquid fat. In an effort to replenish the lack of moisture, the body produces more sebum. Frequent exfoliation and scrubs with hard ingredients (for example, nut shells) also lead to this effect.

How to properly care for problem skin for teenagers?
04.08.2021
Every modern girl should know about proper skin care. Adolescence is the most vulnerable time, which can leave an irreparable imprint on youth. Pimples , acne , post-acne, scars, scars - the consequences of incorrectly chosen care. To understand care, you need to know the basics.
There are four types of skin.
- Normal. The skin has a pinkish tint because it receives the right amount of blood . Collagen makes it elastic. The volume of moisture prevents peeling and irritation.
- Dry. Narrow pores, dullness, low functioning of the sebaceous glands, cracks, peeling are signs of dryness. Needs hydration. Ladies experience facial , reactions to temperature changes and cosmetic products.
- Fat. Characterized by shine and large pores. Due to abundant skin lubricant, it becomes clogged, forming acne and blackheads.
- Combined. Mixed type, combining dry and oily skin in the T-zone. Heterogeneous complexion , the presence of a capillary network near the nose .
Knowing the characteristics of your skin, choosing the right care is much easier. It is no coincidence dermatologists divide them into groups, since oily skin is usually classified as problematic skin.
Acne is a common problem that most teenagers are familiar with. The presence of such a defect leads to the formation of complexes, rejection of appearance, and low self-esteem. Fortunately, timely measures and prevention will get rid of this disease.
Step-by-step instructions for caring for problem skin
The first thing to start treatment with is determining the cause of acne . The root of the problem most often lies in hormonal changes in the body, but additional factors are added to this: heredity, mechanical impact with hands on inflammation, stress, poor nutrition, excessive use of decorative cosmetics, violation of hygiene rules, illness, and the environment. By getting rid of the source, you can reduce, or even forget about acne .
Next, you need to visit a dermatologist in order to select an individual treatment formula suitable for a specific case. By self-medicating, there is a risk of ineffectiveness and worsening the situation. The course of treatment includes antibiotics and retinoids to eliminate active inflammation, and cleansing the face of blackheads . If it is not possible to visit a medical facility and the acne is at an early stage, then you can use drying pharmaceutical preparations that contain salicylic acid or zinc. In an advanced situation, such methods are unlikely to help.
The next step is to remove acne marks. Red marks on the skin do not go away for several months, but they really spoil the appearance. You need to fight them with peelings and scrubs. They gently exfoliate the upper stratum corneum, gradually removing scars. Treatment options: at a cosmetologist or at home. It is worth choosing exactly the one that suits the teenager in terms of cost and convenience.
Every day, morning and evening, you need to cleanse your skin. The stages of the daily routine are divided into 3 components: makeup remover (if you have cosmetics on your face . Hydrophilic oil, micellar water), cleansing (gel, foam), toning (tonic, toner, lotion), moisturizing (cream, serum).
By following these skin care rules, the fight against acne will become effective.
