Question 1

hi, i have got an oily skin and i can't get off the black heads from my nose. is there anyway i can reduce the oilyness and the blackheads? thanks

Accepted Answer

Blackheads: Don't scrub! It just injures the skin and increases the risk of infection.   Your hormones are to blame for the only skin and I don't think you want to attempt changing that.  A salicylic gel or base is probably the most helpful but apply sparingly at night,  starting with a couple of times per week,  increasing nightly.   Use a very gentle cleanser specifically for the face (not for oily skin).

Question 2

i need help please, everytime i take omega 3 pills i gain weight and my skin gets too oily, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Omega 3 capsules: Omega 3 capsules contain fat,an average of about 15 calories. Read the label of your capsules to determine how many calories a day you're consuming. 15 caps x 3 would only be 45 calories-- not a great amount. Some feel that omega 3 helps either dry or oily skin. Your pharmacist can probably give you more information about weight gain and also oily skin.

Question 3

which is the solution of oily skin?

Aesthetician: Our skin type is genetically predetermined and can vary depending on facial location.  If it is dry, moisturize it, if it is oily, dry it.  A good licensed aesthetician will be able to recommend products and peel to achieve your goals after a thorough examination.
