Oily skin is caused by an overproduction of sebum, the oil that lubricates our skin. This is fundamentally a hormonal problem that triggers the sebaceous glands, beneath our skin, to become overactive. This can often be a hereditary problem or the result of hormonal changes in our life. Hormonal changes during puberty and the teenage years is a well known risk factor. Pregnancy, the menstrual cycle and menopause are times when sebum production may increase in women.

Oily skin treatment requires a duel approach –

1) Employing techniques that help take away some of the sebum already in your skin – External applications

2) Using methods that can help your subaceous glands produce less sebum in the first place – Internal applications

How to get rid of oily skin ?

1) Wash the face two to three times a day, but don’t over do it! Excessive washing can remove too much sebum, which in turn will signal the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum! This can be a classic mistake when dealing with oily skin. Using glycerin soap can be beneficial, it is much kinder on the skin and doesn’t contain chemicals that can cause more problems.

2) Aloe vera gel is a great treatment for oily skin, it helps remove sebum from the skin and cleans out pores. Topical applications of aloe vera also help soothe the skin and provide beneficial vitamins for skin health. Aloe vera gel is available at most health stores.

3) Keep your hands off your face! It may be difficult not too check how oily it is “up there”, but this will transfer dirt and oil from your fingers and can worsen the situation.

4) Juices for skin care There are certain vitamins that are necessary for skin health. Most importantly for people with oily skin is vitamin A – which has been shown to help reduce some of the production of sebum. Furthermore, vitamin A is essential for the reproduction of skin cells and protecting them from pollution. The mineral zinc is essential for wound healing, and may help reduce the scarring effects of removing blackheads and other pimples.

5) Coenzyme A has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and is very popular in China. The USA is a tough place to get supplements approved. Research has shown that Coenzyme A can be very effective at reducing the amount of sebum released by the sebaecous glands. I recommend shopping around for this product, it might be the best thing you do for combating oily skin.

Interested in how to get clear skin? Juicing can help! First, juicing can help in keeping us hydrated, which is very important in developing clear skin. Second, juicing provides us with an abundance of vitamins and minerals, some (if not all!) of which is essential for healthy skin. Last but not least, juicing detoxifies all of the bodies cells!

Vitamins for Clear Skin:

Vitamin A is essential in developing and maintaining the epithelial tissue. This is the outer tissue of the body such as skin. Vitamin A, a powerful antioxidant, also protects skin cells from some of the damage of free radicals. Free radicals are responsible for the aging process.

Vitamin B2 is essential for the body’s growth mechanisms, therefore it benefits the growth of skin, as well as hair and nails.

Vitamin B3 helps promote blood circulation around the body, which in turn helps deliver more nutrients to more of the skin cells.

Vitamin B5 is also referred to as the “anti-stress vitamin” because it plays an important role in regulating hormone production of the adrenal glands and helping to combat stress. Stress is a recognized contributor in skin flare ups.

Vitamin B6 deficiency can lead to dry and cracking skin, especially around the mouth.

Vitamin C is an essential component of collagen. Collagen is a protein found in the skin that gives it elasticity and youthfulness. It should not be understated how important collagen is for the health of your skin. The minerals iron and copper are also important components in the make up of collagen.

Vitamin E is an important and key antioxidant for protecting the skin from ultra-violet light, pollution and smoke.
