The Benefits of Oily Skin

Oily skin is one of my problem when I was young. I always feel the greasy sticky liquid on my face. As an active individual, I participated couple of games in school like volleyball and track and filled runner for a year, and its really bothers me a lot because every time I wipe my face after the practice, my white towel turns dark. Not just only that, I also encountered serious problem on my skin, if you have an oily skin, you surely have rough skin, (pimples) acne, and more skin problems. I have tried numerous facial cleanser that time, but unfortunately, non of them really works best on my skin. My father really worried about the skin problem that I had, and he told me that I should stop those cleanser because it won’t control my pimples. The result creates negative outcome to me, it is really emotional exhausted , and it losing my confidence. I felt envy for my school buddies because they have healthy skin, and I don’t. I suffer these problem for long years, and just disappeared when I reach my adulthood. Since then, I really hate for having an oily skin, and I continuously using different cleansing medicine to prevent pimples. However, have you ever know about the benefits of oily skin? I don’t! I just knew this information after I read the article wrote by Louise Forres. The subject is all about beauty secrets, and the author writes about the benefits of oily skin. So here is what he said,

“Whilst most people absolutely hate oily skin, others try and find the positives in it. Believe it or not, there are actually a couple of benefits from having oily skin, even if they do not quite outweigh the negatives!
Oily skin can be a blessing in disguise sometimes, and whilst most of the time it can be a bit of a nightmare, there are some people who are proud of their oily skin . So how exactly can oily skin be a blessing then?

1.A Nice Even Tan
First of all, oily skin tends to tan really evenly. Whilst no tan is safe, if you are going to persist in having a natural one, oily skin really does help to create an even looking tan.
Reduces Ageing:
The main benefit that most people like the idea of however is the fact that oily skin dramatically reduces ageing and it stops wrinkles, age spots, and fine lines dead in their tracks. It has definitely got to be one of natures best kept anti aging secrets!

2.Helps Keep Make up Looking Fresh:
There is nothing worse than applying foundation and around half an hour later it has soaked into the skin and you are left with nasty looking dry, flaky patches all over the face. Luckily with oily skin you never get that problem and in fact, oily skin really helps to keep the foundation looking fresh and your skin looking healthy.

3.It is Easier to Treat Than Dry Skin:
Dry skin can be an absolute nightmare to get rid of, even though it seems like it would be fairly easy. You would think that by using moisturizer every morning and night as well as in intervals during the day, would easily treat your dry skin condition. However, it does not and it can end up being extremely frustrating trying to eliminate it. Oily skin on the other hand is fairly easy to treat and it can often be kept at bay without much hassle.
So, there are plenty of benefits, however as mentioned earlier, the negatives often outweigh the positives. Whilst anti aging may sound fantastic, oily skin can often cause breakouts of pimples and even acne. It attracts dirt and dust which clog up the pores and that is what often causes the outbreaks of acne. Acne causes confidence problems and it can be extremely hard to get rid of so it is always best to treat your skin as quickly as possible.
In order to treat your skin one of the main things to do is to wash with soap, though try and make sure that it is a gentle one suitable for everyday use. Also, it is better to use hot water when washing as this helps to soak up some moisture and it will leave the skin feeling a lot drier.
Try not to wash your face too often and use a moisturizer which is gentle and quite light too. You really do not want to use a thick, creamy moisturizer on your skin as it will only make the condition worse.
There are certain moisturizers designed especially for oily skin, and those are the best ones to go with. Using a mud mask a couple of times a week will also soak up any excess moisture and keep the skin looking clean and fresh.
Overall treating oily skin is easy. It is not always possible to eliminate the condition completely, but it is possible to control it and keep it at bay.

This article completely change my negative perception about oily skin. I rather be thankful for having an oily skin, and should not hate it. Some people uses different types of methods just to obtain the perfect healthy face, whereas me, I naturally have it. Thanks to the author of this article :)
