Blog Stuck On You

It is a known fact that acne is caused by too much oil secretions which tend to clog up the pores leading to heavy acne breakouts. For stopping such breakouts, it is best to use toners and other products that can help remove excess oil and balance it out.
However, the delicate balance between cleanliness and removing extra oil needs to be maintained for an acne free, glowing complexion.

Application of strong drying products causes you more harm than acne so it is better to use good, nourishing, herbal products that do not dry out your skin completely. To compensate the drying out of the skin, sebaceous glands pump in more oil which an only makes the situation worse. Dry skin gets flaky and dead skin accumulates and then the vicious cycle starts to repeat itself as more the skin produces oil to counter the dry skin problem, worse the acne gets. The best way would be to use mild, herbal based skin care products to maintain the oil balance.

Use products that have natural oils that are similar to body oils and get completely absorbed by the skin on application. These light natural oils such as Tree oil, primrose oil, almond and olive oils, coconut oil are helpful and soothing. People with oily skins can benefit from products that have these oils as they do not make the skin oily but balance out the extra oils. Exfoliate your skin regularly and toners need to be used on extra oily skin to remove the accidental build up of grime that clogs the pores.

Many essential oils can be applied as natural moisturizers and added to your bath, face packs and creams. Most of the essential oils have anti septic and healing properties, which make it ideal to reduce acne. Herbal skin acre products can be bought anywhere these days and Internet stores offer a variety of good products from all corners of the world.

However, caution must be there while using products that have alcohol, laural sulphate, isopropy myristate and benzoyl peroxide as they dry out the skin very fast.
To control acne you need to maintain and balance oil content. Do not use heavily perfumed drying soaps or cosmetics with a lot of ingredients that you don’t even know how to spell!

Stick to a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Wash your face regularly and only use mild face washes and gentle organic products to clean your skin. Very soon, you will have an acne free face and relish the compliments that come your way.
