To know if you have a oily skin refer the post Know your skin type. Skin that looks oily, feels greasy to touch and is prone to blackheads and pimples is known as oily skin. It is imperative to keep oily skin clean and to control the secretion of oil. A simple but regular skin-care program, coupled with well-balanced, healthy diet helps manage oily skin and minimizes skin-break-outs.
* It is essential to cleanse your face twice a day, once in the morning and once at bedtime. Always use a mild cleanser. They help prevent clogged pores and reduce pimples.
* Follow up the cleanser with an astringent as this removes all excess oil. It is best to avoid an alcohol-based astringent. Instead, it is advisable to use natural products. Alcohol-based products strip too much oil from the face.
* If your skin does break out, do not touch or squeeze the pimples. Pimples, if squeezed , may leave permanent scars. Try out these home remedies for pimples. There are a number of effective pimple creams available in the market today. Consult a dermatologist to know which one is suitable for you.
* If possible, get your face professionally cleansed once a month.
* Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water each day. Water helps flush out toxins from the body.
* Though there is no evidence to prove that fried foods and chocolates cause pimples, reduce their intake.
* Make sure that you eat a well-balanced diet which includes fruits and green leafy vegetables.
Home Remedies for oily skin
* Wrap an ice cube in a soft cotton cloth and lightly touch it on all the areas of your face. This cold compress will not only leave you feeling refreshed but will also tighten the pores.
* For marks and blemishes left by pimples use calamine lotion. Just dab some lotion on the blemishes at bedtime and they will gradually fade away.
* A great pack for oily skin is chilled cucumber. Finely grate cucumber or blend a cucumber in the blender to form a paste. Chill in the refrigerator. Apply it on the face and relax for 15 minutes. Wash off with cold water. For best results, repeat twice a week, on a clean, cleaned face.
*The powder of lemon peel can also be used as a face pack for oily skin.
