Oily skin tends to shiny with enlarged pores, and is prone to blackheads and blemishes. You might experience some tightness.

Sensitive skin tends to be thin, delicate with fine pores. It flushes easily, is prone to broken capillaries, is frequently allergic and can be rashy.

Oily skin requires more cleansing and exfoliating than other skin types because the pores get clogged with oil and dead skin cell build-up. However over cleansing can make matters worse by stripping the skin and irritating it.

The key to sensitive skin is to avoid common skin irritants which gently cleanse and moisturise the skin without irritating or causing skin flare-ups.

High-protein diets can be useful for treating oily skin. You should reduce your intake of sugar and salt. Make sure you drink plenty of water to help to hydrate your skin and flush out toxins.

Reduce your intake of fats and especially avoid deep-fried foods.
