Oily skin doesn't just affect your face. It can also affect your body by causing acne and other breakouts. Finding skin care products that keep the skin on your arms, chest and back healthy and balanced isn't always easy. Most products for oily skin cater to the delicate skin on your face. The products may not be strong enough to remove body oil. In addition, body soaps that only remove oil from the skin to treat acne may not be good for you either, especially if these products dry out your skin. But don't let these problems get you down. This skin care tip below can reduce the oily shine and acne on your body without stripping it of its healthy glow.

Use Body Washers With Organic Coconut Oil 

Excess body oil usually occurs when your skin's sebaceous glands become too active. Overactive glands can cause acne breakouts and other skin issues when it goes untreated. There are skin care body washes that can get rid of the oil and acne produced by overactive sebaceous glands, but these products often contain triclosan.

Triclosan is a key ingredient used to fight whiteheads, blackheads and other skin blemishes that are caused by bacteria. However, the ingredient will also strip your skin of its natural oils to get rid of these problems. You want to avoid this at all costs.

Instead, choose a body wash that contains healthy ingredients, such as organic coconut oil. Organic coconut oil is minimally processed, which means that it's not diluted with water and other chemicals. 

Coconut oil has antibacterial properties, such as lauric acid, that helps clear up skin blemishes. Lauric acid can be found in commercial skin care soaps. But these products also contain other, more harmful ingredients that overshadow the benefits of lauric acid. 

You can find healthy body washes that contain pure coconut oil online or at your local skin and body care supplier. Don't be afraid to ask for coconut-based skin care products if you can't find them on your own. 

Tips

You can also use organic coconut oil by itself to moisturize your skin. You only need to apply small amount to your skin, as a little bit goes a long way. The oil will quickly absorb into your skin, so there's no greasy residue left behind.
