Tips To Deal With Oily Skin

How To Deal With Oily Skin Skin Care Many of us can relate to the scenario – hot summer day, and a sticky oily face...that's all it takes for acne to break out. You miss the feeling of freshness, the soft light touch that your skin breathes! Facts & Tips Use lukewarm water Don't overdo cleaning Scrubbing or exfoliating 2- 3 times a week and cleansing 2 times a day is more than enough to wash of the excess oil and dirt accumulated. But, if you do exceed that it can cause over dry skin and trigger oil production. The skin produces natural oils and moisture which is essential for the skin, so excessive cleaning can lead to dryness in turn causing more oil production, which can lead to acne outbreaks. A little warm water is more effective in cleaning oils off the skin, as they dissolve it easily and washes away any dirt or impurities clogging the pores. Watch your diet Avoid adding excess oil intake to your food – fried stuff, cocktails. Instead switchover to foods rich in vitamin A - carrots, leafy salads, pepper, mangoes, etc. This keeps your skin fresh and hydrated. Also, make sure to drink 8-10 glasses of water every day! Instead of washing, use toners or wet tissues if your skin feels oily in between the washes, go for a toner to clean out your face, especially around the nose and forehead. This is most helpful in summers. In case you are on the move, carry wet wipes or medicated face cleaning wipes with you always to wipe out the excess oil. Use gel based cleanser These contain salicylic and citric acid which help in reducing the dead skin which causes clogging of pores and acne outbreaks. Face Packs Almond & honey – mix some grounded almonds with honey and apply the mix to your skin Apples - cut up apples into really small pieces and rub it directly on your face.
