You may think that having oily skin is a disorder and, indeed, if the fat becomes infected and results in acne, it is. But think of the good side. The fat cells provide elasticity to the skin and support and help it to withstand much better the passage of time and wrinkles so ... Rejoice!

And we will also review some healthy life habits to keep in good condition, not only the skin, but the whole organism.

One of the reasons why the skin can become infected and produce excess fat is the continued use of certain industrial cosmetics that, although momentarily "hide" the symptoms, over time make them worse. The Dangers of Industrial Cosmetics affect not only the skin, but the entire organism. Most of the industrial creams are made from paraffin, a substance derived from the oil industry that is highly occlusive and that, according to many expert voices, is deposited in different parts of the body intoxicating it.

Vegetable and essential oils are a fabulous natural alternative to replace industrial creams. Maybe, at first, you think that an oil will increase the fat of your skin leaving an oily appearance, but ... Nothing is further from reality! These magnificent natural oils balance the production of fat, absorb quickly and stimulate the skin's natural defenses. Vegetable oils and essential oils are not the same. Each of them is obtained with different methods and their properties, as well as applications and conditions of use, are different and should be known.

At night, we advise you to simply remove makeup with jojoba vegetable oil and clean the dirt afterwards, then rinse with water, without applying anything else, to let the skin rest.

It is not necessary to explain that, in reality, applying natural products on the skin (no matter how great they are) is useless when we do not take care of ourselves internally. The excess of fat in the skin and the appearance of acne have to do, in many occasions, with a deficient or inadequate feeding that generates toxicity in the organism that the skin must purify somewhere, in this case the skin.

• Drink plenty of water. The more hydrated the organism is, the easier it will be to get rid of some toxic substances. Take a look at the water needs in our body.
• Healthy nutrition. Try to follow good eating habits that benefit the correct functioning of the whole body, such as reducing the consumption of meat and fat, eat plenty of cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables and, above all, remove from the pantry all denatured industrial products that they possess infinity of alimentary additives and that they have lost their nutritional properties in the manufacturing processes. Consult how to develop a balanced and healthy diet and how to detoxify the body.
• Do moderate exercise. Practicing moderate exercise such as walking or yoga offers magnificent results, not only in the health of your skin, but of your entire body.
• Rest. Rest, like regular exercise, is essential to keep your defenses strong. Something that, without a doubt, will also be reflected in the skin.
