Oily Skin Types

Production of oil in the skin is stimulated by hormone production and anything that causes fluctuation in the hormones can cause skin to become excessively oily. For women, hormonal changes occur not only during puberty but at the beginning of each menstrual cycle, during pregnancies and also during menopause. If a woman is taking a birth control pill this can also affect the skin badly and contribute to an oily skin problem.

Oily skin may well be in your genes. People from Mediterranean, some Asian and middle-Eastern countries may inherit oily skin from their parents. This is a genetic mechanism to help protect their skin from the high radiation of the sun. However, if you have inherited this skin type, but do not live in the climate it was designed for, this can be a problem and needs to be addressed.

Hormones influence your skin to a great extent. The birth control pill can cause some women to develop oily skin, while in others it can cause dryness of the skin. You should talk to your health professional about your concerns if you suspect your birth control pill to be causing you oily skin.

The basic aim of ‘oily skin care’ is the removal of excessive sebum or oil from the skin. However, oily skin care procedures should not lead to complete removal of oil. ‘Oily skin care’ starts with the use of a cleanser. However, not all cleansers will work. You need a cleanser which contains salicylic acid i.e. a beta-hydroxy acid that retards the rate of sebum production. Cleansing should be done twice a day (and even more in hot and humid conditions).

Oily skin is caused by sebaceous gland producing too much oil, therefore producing thick grease patches on the face. Oily skin occurs most frequently on people in the adolescent age due to shifts in hormonal levels. It can cause great embarrassment and hassle due to shiny patches formed on the face and frequent wiping and washing of the face. As a result, people who experience oily skin problem never fail to find a solution to it.

It is important to know your skin type. Examine your face closely. Do you see large pores, flakes, or redness? Each can indicate a different skin type or be indicators of oily skin. Take a tissue to your face and blot. Did you absorb oil? If your self-examination reveals large pores and oil on the tissue, you could have oily skin. The redness can be from excessive washing or sensitive skin.

If you have oily skin in some places, but not in others, it is important to wash your hands straight after you have touched any oily parts of the skin. This is because, if you have oil on your hands and you touch your face for example, you are spreading the oil and the dirt to the face and now you are likely to develop a pimple there.
