People with oily skin face these problems

People with oily skin face a lot of problems during summers. Because when oil, stickiness, dirt and dust on the face enter the pores and clog them, the problem of acne and pimples increases.

There are many myths related to this problem, such as whether eating oily or sweet foods makes the skin oilier or whether it is right to exfoliate the face daily. Dr. Jatin Mittal is telling about all these.

Is it not necessary to apply moisturizer on oily skin?

When Dr. Jatin was asked the first question, he/she flatly denied it and said that this is not the case at all and people with oily skin also need moisturizing. Because to control the oil from the face, we use multiple oil reduction, gel or serum and after those serums, your skin needs a particular hydration level, for which we use non-comedogenic moisturizer. The doctor said that mainly we recommend gel based moisturizer.

Does eating oily or sweet foods cause acne?

When the doctor was asked whether eating oily or sweet food causes more oil in the skin? he/she replied that eating too much oil and sweet food causes more pimples on the skin.

Because gastric health affects it and more toxins are produced in the skin. So eating oily and sweet foods can increase oil production on your skin, cause more acne and other skin disorders, so eat oily and sweet foods in moderation and take care of your skin.

Is it beneficial to exfoliate the skin daily?

In response to this question, Dr. Jatin says that this is not the case at all. Exfoliation should be a controlled process. You can use a good exfoliator once a week, you do not have to do it every day.

By exfoliation I mean that when our skin is excessively oily, we use many things to remove our dead skin, such as scrub. If you scrub daily, it can increase skin inflammation and can also cause skin damage.

Skin oil production cannot be reduced

Regarding the inability to reduce the production of frequent and excessive oil on the face, the doctor says that this is not the case at all. The oil in the skin can be reduced. You can reduce the oil production of the face by taking multiple medicines, taking care of your skin, increasing the amount of water and taking some particular precautions.
