Many people have oily skin . One of the main factors that adversely affect this type of problem skin is stress and poor nutrition. We will pay attention to nutrition. Let's start with the fact that you should not starve, but you should not overeat.

A few tips if you have oily skin:

  • Eat regularly, 5 times a day, taking small portions.
  • Limit spices (pepper, mustard, vinegar).
  • Eat lean meat, choose grilled fillet in front of the sausages.
  • Eliminate butter and bacon from your menu.
  • Salty, spicy and fried foods irritate the sebaceous glands - try not to eat them.
  • Pasta, sweets, smoked products and coffee also help to lubricate facial skin.
  • Consume without restriction: fruits, vegetables, buckwheat porridge, black bread, boiled fish, dairy products.
  • Chocolate - this product was thought to be contraindicated for oily skin, but after a number of studies, it was concluded that this applies to excessive consumption. 20-30 grams of chocolate will not affect the functions of the sebaceous glands in the least.

People who have oily skin find it difficult in the heat. The activity of the sebaceous glands increases at high temperatures, shine and blackheads (comedones) appear in the T-zone. Therefore, on hot days, eat fresh leafy vegetables, cabbage, onions, lettuce, because these products reduce sebum production. Eat fresh fruits (except bananas): apples, pears, plums.

Oily skin needs vitamins:

  • The vitamin C increases immunity and tone. It is found in many fruits and vegetables: apricots, apples, cabbage, black currants, rose hips, peaches, persimmons, oranges, peppers. Keep in mind that during heat treatment the vitamin is destroyed, and in products of animal origin, it is practically not contained.
  • B vitamins ( B2 (riboflavin ) and B6 (pyridoxine) neutralize toxins, help maintain fresh and clean skin. Products: eggs, beef, legumes (soy, lentils, peas, beans), carrots, tomatoes, dried apricots and other dried fruits.
  • Vitamin E regulates the nourishment of the skin, as well as the content of water and fat in it, helps to erase scars, improves blood clotting, accelerates wound healing. It is part of vegetable oils, wheat, egg yolk, milk, liver, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, avocados.

Oily skin is often complained of by those who have bowel problems. If you suffer from constipation, take laxatives and remedies - prolonged constipation worsens the condition and appearance of the skin.
