October 30, 2018 by Leave a Comment

If someone had told me a few years ago that I should use oil to clean my face I would have looked at them as if they had gone crazy. For me at the time telling someone with acne to use oil on their face for whatever reason is like telling someone to put out a fire with gasoline.

The Oil Cleansing Method has been popular for a while now. I was never aware though, of the benefits of the oil cleansing method for acne and acne prone skin.

A few years back it became clear to me that my face wash was not doing me any good. I used to dread using it. After washing my face would be so tight that I would get scared to smile or talk. It would burn and sting. And this was the mildest face wash I had ever used.

One problem that generally goes hand in hand with acne is oily skin. Skin that looks like it has been drizzled with oil. Besides giving you a sticky feel, oily skin looks dull. You might also have this weird combination of skin being dry as well as oily. This is a common problem when you are battling adult acne. Trying to use makeup when you have this dry and oily combination skin can be a bit of a challenge.

Where does this oil come from ?

The oil or sebum is an oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands are everywhere on your body except your palms and the soles of your feet. Coincidentally there is a greater concentration of sebaceous glands on your face. These glands may be connected to a hair follicle or open up directly onto the surface of your skin. When the pore is filled with sebum or oil it spreads on the surface of the skin to keep it moist and healthy. When the gland keeps producing oil and the pore is blocked with dead skin cells it leads to acne.
