Maintain Oily Skin

There's nothing wrong with oily skin. Some types of skin are more oily than others, and learning to maintain it properly is a matter of keeping your skin clean and healthy. You can learn to care for oily skin properly.

Steps

Staying Clean

  1. Choose your cleaning products wisely. Look for natural moisturizing oils like Babassu and grape seed oil, products that moisturize the skin deeply and revitalize it. You want to use products that are free of any side effects and can be used by people of any skin type, oily or dry.
    • Mineral oils provide temporary moisturization and they clog the skin's pores. In this way they leave them suffocating for fresh air. The skin cells are unable to get rid of the toxins and this leads to acne eruptions, allergies, irritation, rashes and photo sensitivity.
    • Explore the fragrance compounds used. Often, these are made up of synthetic chemicals and they cause depression, anxiety, hyperactivity, hormonal disruptions and interfere in the normal functioning of the central nervous system.
    • Avoid parabens. Parabens are cheap preservatives used to improve their shelf life of skincare products, but they are thought to be linked to some types of breast cancer and other health concerns.
  2. Clean your face every day. Different moisturizers can help certain skins. Rinse your face gently and rinse your face thoroughly of products. If you don't rinse well, the pores will stay open, that way more dirt and oil comes through the pores. Wash your face with cool water and pat dry.
  3. Keep your hair clean. Greasy hair, especially bangs, can lead to greasy forehead and cheeks.
  4. Stay hydrated. Try to drink at least eight glasses of water every day to maintain proper hydration and promote healthy skin. While it may sound like a lot, traditional Ayurvedic practice recommends that to clear our body of impurities, people must drink at least three or more glasses of lukewarm water the first thing in the morning to process toxins and promote overall health.

Staying Healthy

  1. Avoid the sun. The sun’s heat as well as its invisible ultra violet rays, cause more damage to our skin than any other element of nature. Most people spend the summers in skimpy swimsuits that barely cover their bodies.
    • Sunscreens and sunblocks help to minimize sun damage, but staying in the shade and wearing white cotton clothes helps avoid most of the sun’s rays. Wrinkles are created when the skin becomes dry and loses its elasticity.
  2. Exercise. Sweat is a combination of dirt, impurities, and other excretions that the body needs to get rid of. By sweating, our body regulates its temperature, hormones, bacterial toxins, and emotions. Most of us who do aerobic exercises know that the longer we stay on our treadmills or jogging schedules, the happier we feel, and the fewer acne-causing toxins will be in our bodies.
    • Exercise stimulates endorphins or happy hormones (called the runner’s high). Meditation and Yoga are tremendously helpful to keep our emotional and physical systems running smoothly so that our body and mind are in top condition.
  3. Eat healthy. What you eat affects your overall health. Nothing ages your skin more than your diet. The processed foods that we eat daily are filled with artificial ingredients that our bodies cannot digest and they leave our skin lifeless and dull. Eat a diet rich in fruits, nuts, and vegetables to maintain the health of your skin.
