Top 10: Best Face Washes for Oily and Acne Prone Skin in India
Everyone wishes to have a glowing skin that looks healthy and feel smooth. But sometimes you don’t get what you want. Your skin might look fresh and bouncy in the morning but turn sticky, oily and dark as the day progresses. This is the sign of oily skin. Those with hyper-active sebaceous glands usually have an oily skin and need to use a face wash specially designed for acne and that is why I am listing down a round up of my favourite face washes for acne prone oily combination skin that are easily available in the Indian market. The sebaceous glands that produce sebum or natural oils of the body may turn hyper active due to a number of reasons, one being the raging hormones. This explains why most Teenagers just at the time of attaining puberty suffer from the oily skin problem to a large extent. There are many other cumbersome skin issues associated with oily skin such as zits, pimples, pustules, boils, rashes, blackheads, whiteheads etc. These are collectively called acne.
In other words if your skin is oily, it becomes a magnet attracting grime, dust and dirt which congest the skin pores continually along the dead cells that keep accumulating everyday on your skin surface opening the doors to hoards of unwanted skin problems.
Those who have oily skin need to take special care of their skin. Special attention has to be given to skin cleansing. Thorough cleansing is necessary to unclog the skin pores completely of impurities, and remove all the extra oil from the skin. A good Face Wash or Cleanser ideally made for the oily skin can do so.
