Dealing with Oily Skin in Scottsdale and the Phoenix Greater Area

Regardless of your age, gender, or ethnicity oil is constantly produced by your body. Oily skin can be shiny, thick and/or dull colored. Oily skin tends to have coarse pores, pimples, and other embarrassing blemishes and is prone to blackheads.

Oily skin is caused by overactive sebaceous glands, our bodies small oil-producing glands, sebaceous glands are located deep within the second layer of the skin.  These glands are most plentiful in the face, neck, chest, head and back which is why these areas are affected by oil production the most.

One way to fight oily skin is with proper cleansing. It is smart to select a cleanser or skin care line deepening on the season, in fall and winter our skin is naturally drier, people with oily skin will benefit most from a gentle facial cleanser. In Arizona during the warmer months of May, June, July and August, perspiration can combine with sweat to make skin harder to clean, you may need a more deep cleansing facial product to fight oily skin.

Another way to control oil production is to apply clay or mud masques weekly.  These treatments can temporarily pull oil from the pores and soak it up, leaving oily skin looking fresh for several days. In addition to facial cleansers and masks there are many professional treatments available. Spa Fit Finder showcases plenty of day and med spas in Arizona that can help reduce oily skin. Some options available may include acne facials concentrating on extractions, chemical peel treatments and/or microdermabrasion.
