Although having oily skin will lessen the possibility of developing wrinkles and lines early in life, one will compensate by being prone to acne, pimples and all sorts of blemishes. This is because over-activity of the sebaceous glands make it more likely for the pores in the skin to get clogged. Clogging of pores with grime, dead skin cells and bacteria trapped inside, can result to swelling and red bumps. The industry has become so big that cosmetic and skin care lines that only catered to women have started to also develop skin care products for men. There are now astringents and lotions for men. Some companies have even developed facial wash for men, a skin care staple that men would not have bought a decade ago. Consider choosing products that contain the antioxidants for the skin such as Ascorbyl Acid or Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A or beta carotene and Flavonoids because these can help you to achieve a firm and younger looking skin while nourishing, strengthening and moisturizing your aging skin or your problematic skin. Although the skin is the most common area treated by the procedure, it is also done on the neck, chest, arms, hands or any area that are damaged by the sun. It is also used for skins with irregular pigmentation such as sun spots and melasma; those with irregular and rough skin; and even those with some wrinkles and stretch marks. Same goes even for sunscreen that is labeled waterproof. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Also look for sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays, especially those labeled with "broad spectrum protection" or UVA protection for formulation with an SPF of 15 or greater. Select a sunscreen that is labeled "nonacnegenic" or "noncomedogenic" to help keep pores clear and also prevents the skin from having pimples or acne. If the cleansing strategy doesn t work out, try opening your pores through exfoliating cleansers and masques. After cleansing, you should kill the acne-causing bacteria by using antibacterial cleansers especially those that contain benzoyl peroxide. An acne patient can also kill the bacteria by using topical or external medications that come in the form of creams, gels, and lotions applied in the area affected.
