Ayurveda tips for Oily skin condition

[martin]

1. Wash skin with plenty of warm water (2-3 times a day) and mild soap or herbal scrub to prevent clogging of pores.

2. Avoid using harsh chemicals to remove oil, as some amount of natural oil is needed to maintain the texture of skin.

3. Avoid too much washing of skin as it leads to overproduction of oil to compensate the loss.

4. Always use hot water to wash face as it dissolves clogged oil and also balances Kapha.

5. Use a moisturizer, free of oil.

6. Avoid sticky make up, which clogs the pores.

7. Apply half sthingy of lemon juice mixed with half sthingy of cucumber juice to face half an hour before taking bath.

8. Mix equal parts of lemon juice and water. Apply this mixture on face and rinse it first with warm water and then followed by cold water after it dries.

9. Avoid heavy, fried fatty food.

10. Avoid cheese and sugar rich deserts.
