Food Cure Tips:care For Oily Skin by eberejonah(f): 2:19pm On Aug 08, 2013
In my other post i showed you how you can identify and know your skin type. In this post will show you how you can take care of oily skin. If you have this skin type,pay attention.

Oily skin is the problem of many in the society especially women and girls. Once in the lifetime of everyone this skin problem has been encountered. Oily skin results from the sebaceous gland producing excess oil thus

giving the skin a greasy glow. The oil produced by the skin is essential for the hydration and protection of the skin from environmental harm. There are factors which causes the skin to produce excess oil they include:

-Heredity:it can be passed on from parents to children. If you have oily skin check who has that same skin problem in your family.

-Hormones:hormonal shift and imbalance like menstruation, menopause, puberty, pregnancy will increase oil production.

-Cosmetics:too much of cosmetic products blocks the skin pores, prevents it from breathing, strips the skin of it's oil,forcing the skin to produce more oil.

-Climatic condition:a hot environment stimulates the sebaceous gland to produce heat,a cold environment does same.

-Diet:fried food, fatty food these can cause inflammation in the skin,alcohol consumption increases the level of toxins in the level leading to breakouts of pimples, too much sugar(refined,simple carbohydrate) causes sagging of skin and wrinkles as such these should be avoided.

Eat your way into your beauty naturally

What you eat is who you are,your skin needs essential nourishments daily and care to look,feel healthy and be beautiful.

Drink 6-8 glasses of water daily. To achieve a beautiful radiant skin without pimples and spot,start with water,drink water after waking up in the morning before eating breakfast. The water goes into your system and flushes out all the toxins which accumulated at night while you were asleep. These toxins if allowed in your body system poisons the liver leading to pimples.

I will prefer you take warm water but if it's out of your reach,no problem just take fresh water it works also.

Consume essential fatty acids like omega 3 and omega 6.these are not produced by the body so must be taken in through food. These fatty acids reduce inflammation of the skin and improves blood circulation thus preventing skin sagging and wrinkles giving you a clear and beautiful glowing skin. These omega 3 and 6 are fund in mackerels, sardine, salmon, flax seed, sunflower seeds, olive oil, almonds,walnuts.

Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Colourful fruits and vegetables should be taken everyday at least five different types of fruits and vegetables. These various fruits as you know contains necessary vitamins and minerals for the health of our skin such as vitamin A which is good for sight, repairing and protecting the skin tissue due to its beta carotene. Deficiency in vitamin A can be seen in your skin been dry with a dull complexion. Foods containing vitamin A include carrots tomatoes, pepper, melons, apricots, alfalfa, spinach just to name a few.

Vitamin C and E: These two contain powerful antioxidants which protects the skin and body against free radicals causing premature ageing, by drying up elastin and collagen fibres. Reduces DNA damages in skin cells. They also helps in the formation of new skin cells. Fruits and vegetables which contains them are sunflower oil, kiwi, alfalfa, citrus fruits(oranges,mandarins,grapes etc.), tomatoes, cabbages, tulip, onions, cereals, soy beans, almonds,avocados, lettuce, garlic.

Vitamin B complex(biotin)

can be gotten from oatmeal, rice, eggs, bananas. This is responsible for the formation of nails,skin cells,hair. Lack of these results to hair loss, itching and redness of skin, broken nails. Taking vitamin B complex increases skin moisture and brings back radiance to an abused skin.

To crown the above things, people with oily skin ought to be neat. Pimples result due to bacteria on the clogged or blocked pores of the skin either by excess oil produced by the skin,dirts or what you apply on the face. Your skin becoming a comfortable breeding ground for bacteria. Your pillow case and bed sheets should be changed regularly. Clean clothes should be worn,and finally don't always touch your face as your hand might contain bacteria which you will transfer to your face.

Final tips:for my face I make sure to drink a class of home made carrot juice daily.

Try these out and get your always wanted beautiful skin.
