Oily and Acne Skin occurs at all ages and is basically just good skin that is out of balance.  The sebaceous oil glands become overactive from Internal Factors such as: The hormonal surge commonly signaling PMS, Stress, and Diet, or External Factors such as: Pollution and Sun Exposure.  When this happens, the sebaceous glands pump too much oil which creates shine, attracts dirt, and provides an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive.  This results in sudden breakouts, bumps under the skin, and enlarged pores.

Symptoms:

• Your skin often looks shiny
• You have many undefined bumps under your skin
• Your pores are visible
• You get sudden breakouts for no apparent reason
• Your face often feels unclean and greasy
• Your skin is never totally clear

The Good News:  While the predisposition to acne is inevitable, the good news is that acne is very treatable. Under treatment, however, compliance is absolutely essential to insure good results and long term maintenance. Picking or touching acne-damaged skin will only cause further scaring which cannot be cured at this time.
