How to take care of Oily skin in Mansoon?

Oily skin or seborrhea  is a  common skin problem or complaint during hot weather &  it further aggravates during monsoon season .

If you have oily skin, you know probably know how difficult it is to keep pimples and other skin problems at bay. And during monsoon, it requires a little more care and attention. The increase in humidity during monsoon makes your skin greasier, which may lead to breakouts and other issues. So, what you need to do is tweak your skin care routine to suit the weather. Here are some effective skin care tips to make sure your skin stays clear and healthy this monsoon. 

Oil or sebum is produced by Sebaceous glands present over face.

Its secretion plays an important role in forming a protective layer over the face.It not only protects but helps in hydrating the skin. 

Its secretion is affected by genetic, hormonal  & environmental factors. So its secretion changes if there is any hormonal disbalance .A high-calorie diet rich in sugar N carbohydrates acts as a stimulus for sebaceous glands. So one should avoid fried oily N sugary diet. Sebum production increases in summer & monsoon.  These days are highly humid that leads to less evaporation of sweat, and which further aggravates the problem of SEBORRHEA or OILY SKIN. Over washing or too much rubbing, the skin doesn’t solve the problem rather these glands become more active and they start secreting more sebum. Cleaning the face twice a day with mild cleansers is sufficient.

1)Hot water wins over oil:

As opposed to dry skin which does well with warm water, oily skin could do with a hot water rinse. Why? Hot water is effective in dissolving all the excess oil on your skin, leaving it supple and soft like when you were a baby. That’s a tip for keeps!

2) Facial scrubs score:

·         If your skin sometimes feels like an oil well (metaphorically of course), then regular facial scrubbing will dry it up considerably and effectively.

·         This happens because facial scrubs help unclog your pores and also the assist greatly for exfoliation.

·         You never know how a particular chemical reacts to your skin. You know, one woman’s poison is another’s nectar.

3) Natural or nothing:

·         Another oily skin care tip is to make a paste using besan, milk, lemon and honey.

·         Apply that paste to your skin and rest assured, the oiliness will be history and your skin, rejuvenated.

·         Natural pastes are healthy, safe and economical; what other attributes could you possibly want?
