Research has shown that men produce more oil in their glands than women do, resulting in oilier skin and breakouts. But that doesn’t mean men are stuck with problem skin. Here are some eco ways to send oily skin packing.
Slap it on
A face mask can help tighten the pores and therefore reduce oil. Best of all you don’t need complicated ingredients. Just dig around in your fridge and fruit basket. Fruit juices work well to treat oily skin while giving your skin the moisture it needs. Mix juices from pineapples, tomatoes, strawberries or lemons with yogurt or two egg whites. Puree the ingredients and apply it to your face. Keep it on for ten minutes.
Go deeper
Eco skincare is important because you want to ensure you use products that will keep oily skin under control with the help of super ingredients – while skipping all the harsh chemicals.
Linoleic Acid applied to skin can improve problems such as minor outbreaks. Try Rosa Organics Rosa for Men range that contains this acid as well as Rosehip seed oil. This oil penetrates the sebaceous gland and controls the oil balance of the skin. Another product to make part of your daily skincare routine is Just Pure face wash for men. Not only is it gentle on the skin but it removes oil build-up.
Lifestyle tips to treat oily skin
Besides for what you’re putting on your face, make sure you look after your skin from the inside:
- Avoid eating oily foods that can lead to oily skin. Top up on vegetables and fruits.
- Drink lots of water daily. This keeps your skin hydrated and cleansed.
- Work up a sweat. Exercise not only benefits your general wellbeing, but it also ensures that your skin remains healthy. By working out regularly, you improve your body’s circulation and rid it of toxins that can result in bacteria and oil build up.
