Balancing the Oil Sebum - treating Combi and Oily Skin concerns

Most of my clients have concerns on issue on oily skin. Actually it's quite a blessing to have that :) I am talking long term. Oily skin, in a long term, saves $ as it will take much more to fight wrinkles. Many have wrong perception that matte skin is the best. From a skin care consultant aspect, balance the oil sebum of our skin is the key.

Through balancing oil sebum, you could potentially get rid of these 'complements' of oily skin.
1. Acne : an inflammatory skin disorder characterised by pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. It is caused by increase of production of androgens; hormones that stimulate the production of keratin (a type of protein) and sebum (an oily skin lubricant). When sebum secreted faster than it can move through the pores, blemish arises. Excess oil makes the pores sticky and bacterias 'manifest' inside.

2. Blackheads: when sebum combines with skin pigments and plugs the pores.

3. Whiteheads: if the sebum combines with skin pigments and scale below the surface of the skin.

What could be the possible cause of sebum unbalance?
1. Cosmetic and inappropriate skin treatment products
2. Emotional stress
3. Nutritional deficiencies: diet of high saturated fats, hydrogenated fats, and animal products.
4. High level of toxic waste in body
5. Personal hygiene

Correct method to promote balancing of sebum.
1. Use scrub regularly
One may need to use scrub everyday if skin is sebum activity is too active. Normally, 2 times a week is enough. How do you know how many times to scrub? Easy! As long as you do not have mild peeling (normally at the nose), your frequency works for you.

2. Use a mud or clay type of mask
Sorry to say that those popular paper mask will not help. Similar to scrubbing, if needed mask everyday . Frequency should be at about 2 times a week for normal condition is sufficient. Wash off after 15 mins (max).

3. Choose a correct basic skin care
A good skin care set helps to clean off those external pollutants that could lead to skin problems.

4. Supplement with Vitamin B complex (natural yeast is the best)
You will be surprised how Vit B complex can help! Many of my customers and myself finds that it helps to promote balance sebum plus radiant skin.
Its an anti-stress agent, plus promote growth and control of hormones and enzymes of our body! All this helps to manage our skin sebum better.

 5. Exercise to promote good blood circulation that accelerate detoxification in body.

It's that simple. Just add a little bit of persistancy, within months, you will see result :)

Do write to me if you have questions regarding the treatment frequency as treatment is very 'individual'.

Cheers to radiant, well oil sebum balance skin!
