Which oil is best for face?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Usage of oil on face depends on skin type. In persons with oily skin, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of pores. In persons with dry or flaky skin, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the skin. Coconut oil, almond oil are some of the natural oils which are good for skin.

I've just turned 31 and recently got married, and I'm facing an issue with my skin. I've always had oily skin, but now I'm breaking out with a lot of pimples on my face. I maintain a really healthy diet, and I eat lots of fruits and veggies. Could this breakout be due to hormonal changes, maybe because my period is approaching? I'm worried and would appreciate any advice on how to reduce these pimples and deal with the spots they're leaving behind. What can I do about this?

Pimples can often flare up due to hormonal changes, especially around your period. Stress from new changes or diet can also contribute. To manage them, try using a gentle cleanser, avoid touching your face too much, and consider a spot treatment with ingredients like salicylic acid.

I'm struggling with blackheads and enlarged pores, and my combination skin isn't making things easier. My T-zone gets pretty oily, while other areas are quite dry. I'm considering using Sebamed cleansing facial foam and the deep cleansing facial toner. Do you think these could help with reducing blackheads and minimizing pores? Would love some guidance on this!

Sebamed cleansing facial foam and Sebamed deep cleansing facial toner are good choices for reducing blackheads and minimizing pores. For your combination skin with a very oily T-zone and dry other parts, I recommend using Sebamed cleansing facial foam twice a day to cleanse your face. Follow up with Sebamed deep cleansing facial toner to help tighten pores and control excess oil production.

I'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection around my genitals and it's been a real pain for about 3 years now. I've tried creams like Soframycin and taken Candistat tablets, but nothing seems to help long-term. It tends to get worse when I sweat, and it's really itchy and turns red. Im worried and don't know what else to try. Do you have any advice on what could work or whats causing this?

A persistent fungal infection near the genitals, especially one that increases with sweat and causes itching and redness, often requires strong, prolonged antifungal treatment. If the current treatment hasnt been effective, I recommend following up with your doctor for a more tailored approach, potentially involving oral antifungal medication and more careful management of moisture and hygiene in the affected area.
