If you have oily skin, nobody has to tell you that it's a hassle. Your face is almost always shiny and greasy, and you have trouble finding make-up that will stay put. If you wash your face so it feels clean, you run the risk of stripping it of essential oils, causing it to actually become oilier over time. Your skin is in sebum production over-drive, with no end in sight.
What you need to do, instead of cleaning from the outside, is to find ways to slow down the rate of sebum production. Sebum is the thick oily substance produced by oily skin. Sebum clogs your pores and leads to breakouts.
Did you know that aloe vera can actually balance the sebum production of your skin?
While you should check with your doctor before taking any skin care advice [from anyone else], you might ask if aloe vera gel might work for you. If it does, you'd wash your face as usual, and apply aloe vera gel afterwards. Aloe vera has natural anti-inflammatory properties, and it is said to balance sebum production. When your skin is producing less sebum, your oily skin should diminish or may disappear all together.
Aside from aloe vera, remember to eat a balanced diet and to drink plenty of water each day. Ask your doctor if aloe vera may be the right natural oily skin remedy for you.
