hobo2alpha 0 Share Posted July 9, 2004 oil from your skin is produced to counteract dehydration. dehydration kills your outer layer skin cells, therefore causing them to be replaced. Remember your skin cells can only replace themselves a certain amount of times. Thus oil is there to keep your skin young and flexible.BP is a drying agent, your skin in reaction to the BP will produce more oil because it is dehydrated.instead of BP you can use oil, which mimicks the effect of sebum, while at the same reduces the amount of sebum produced: http://www.freeacnebook.com/cause.htm#110For some people this can be a problem , the dryness and flakiness, this is the sign that skin will age faster. But then again everyone is different, but do ou want to look young for a long time...click here for the full story on acne and diet: www.freeacnebook.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
