Oily Skin

Although oily skin is primarily a facial problem, excessive sebum production can occur on your back, shoulders and chest.  If your skin is oily here, make sure you avoid lipid-rich body formulations which can lead to breakouts.  Simply apply your rehydrating body lotion to non acne-prone areas of your body such as the arms and legs.  On oily, acne-prone skin areas, you could use facial skincare products designed for oily skin. 

If you do already suffer from acne either on your body or your face, please see a dermatologist who will get you started on a medical treatment.  Acne really is very straightforward to treat and should be caught early to prevent unsightly scarring.
