Hair products can aggravate pimples and acne which come with greasy skin
1 of 5
While using various hair products, it s impossible to avoid contact with face, neck and shoulders. Thus, it paves the way for the hair products to aggravate the pimples, thereby making your skin greasier. Oil-based shampoos and products that contain pomade, jojoba oil, Shea butter, petroleum jelly and silicones tend to clog pores, especially at the forehead. This contributes to the problem of stubborn pimples and also the formation of new ones. Thus while selecting your shampoo or oil, make sure you avoid these ingredients. Also, be quick to wash off the shampoo from your face and other body parts.
Which among these will enable you to get oil-free skin?
2 of 5
Applying a paste of cornstarch and water will make your skin oil free. Apply the paste on your face and allow it to dry. While removing the paste, gently rub your skin in a circular motion. The entire process will dry up the oily patches that your skin has. For best results, it s recommended to use lukewarm water.
Steaming is an effective remedy for greasy skin
3 of 5
Steaming is often considered one of the most effective methods to treat oily skin. However, it s incorrect. Your skin may feel soft and oil free after a steam bath. Nonetheless, the fact remains that your skin, when exposed to high temperature, gets stripped off the essential fatty acids. These fatty acids are crucial to your skin and lack of it contributes to skin dullness. Therefore using steam to treat your oily skin is a dangerous option. You should also avoid hot showers if you have oily skin.
Which of the following is beneficial for you if you have greasy skin?
4 of 5
Surprised? Well, it does work. Exercising for a minimum of 30 minutes daily can effectively combat your oily skin problems. On exercising, the sweat glands open up. This makes you sweat it out more. The more you perspire, the more chance the sweat gets to reach the upper layer of the skin through the pores, in the process washing off the dirt, impurities and the excess oil.
Exfoliating regularly will help counter oily skin
5 of 5
Doesn t matter how much oil your skin secretes, it s never wise to make your skin absolutely oil free. Exfoliating daily will remove the essential oils from your skin, thus further stimulating the oil-producing glands to secrete excess oil (sebum). As a result, your skin becomes oilier. Therefore, it s advised to go for gentle exfoliation once a week.
