tips for oily skin-Oily Skin and Acne Breakouts
Oily skin doesn’t necessarily cause acne, but it can be a contributor to breakouts if the skin isn’t kept clean enough. Acne occurs when pores are invaded by dirt and oil, get clogged and breed bacteria. The bacteria in the pore causes swelling and the typical pimple is filled with pus, which is the body’s attempt to fight infection using white blood cells. Keeping your skin clean and pores unclogged is one important way to prevent acne breakouts. And it all starts with the way you wash your face.
Skin Care and Makeup for Oily Complexions
Some people think that removing oil from the face is like washing it from dishes: they use the harshest soap and the hottest water to get their skin “squeaky clean”. They never moisturize, and may even wipe their skin with alcohol to dry it out. The bad news is that if you treat your oily skin with harshness, it will redouble its efforts to protect itself—it will actually start to produce more oil to cope with what it feels are harsh environmental conditions! Wash your face, but use a gentle soap and lukewarm water, and don’t rub or scrub. Treat your skin with love and compassion, and it will respond positively. Use an oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin protected, and protect it further by using a moisturizer that contains sunscreen. Keep the shine blotted down by using powdered mineral makeup, which is guaranteed to give you a matte finish without clogging pores. At the end of the day, remove your makeup with a gentle, alcohol-free toner, wash your face gently, and reapply moisturizer before bed.

Could This Be Possible for Me?
OK
So I am 17 years old and right now I have a irregular period. I have not had one since June. I was looking up causes for irregularity and I ran across something called PCOS. I really think I have it. It said some of the causes are insulin, and something about androgen which causes hair growth and some other stuff. Well I have to take insulin because I am a type 2 diabetic. And I think I have a high level of androgen becaue like I have facial hair, like you can actually see the hair on my face. Also I have a lot of the symptoms. Obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, anxiety and depression,sleep apnea,acne, increased facial hair growth.I am sort of happy now that I know what might be wrong because at first I didn’t know but I am still going to go to the ob/gyn. But what I wanted to ask is can pcos affect someone my age? I am 17 years old.
