Exfoliating oily skin can provide big benefits towards a healthier complexion.
  You may be wondering, what causes oily skin?  Heredity and hormones play a large part in why your skin is oily.
  As hormones fluctuate, so does the oil on your skin.
  Oil is produced in the sebaceous glands which are located in the second layer (dermis) of the skin.
  The face, neck, chest, head, and back are where these glands are most prevalent.
  You can't get rid of your oily skin but it can be controlled with a few easy tips:

1. Wash your skin with a gentle cleanser twice a day.
     Morning and evening is preferable.
     Your skin may start to dry out if you wash it more than that.
   
2. Use gentle, natural products to exfoliate that include jojoba beads, berries, pineapple and lemon juice.
     Fruit acids loosen cell bonds and naturally exfoliate the skin.
   
3. Exfoliate 2-3 times per week.
     Adjust the frequency depending on how your skin is reacting.
     If it gets irritated you need to scale back.
   
4. Use a circular motion when exfoliating with gentle pressure for 30-60 seconds then rinse with cool water.
     Be sure to include your neck and the outer corners of your eyes (not the skin under your eyes.
   )
5. Apply a moisturizer with alpha hydroxy acid (fruit acids) after your treatment.
     These acids increase production of collegen which helps decrease fine lines and wrinkles.
   

Your skin may always be oily.
  The good news is production will decrease as you age.
  Keeping up with this skin care regime will prevent pores from becoming clogged with dead skin cells and oil.
  Exfoliating your skin will increase cell turnover to reveal healthier skin cells and a glowing complexion.
