Oily skin under control

Just like the weather our skin too reacts differently at various weathers. Hence our skin care should be in accordance with the weather. In summers our skin tends to be oily especially the T-zone (forehead and nose) whereas in winters it requires more hydration. Many people especially teenagers or people who undergo some hormonal changes in their bodies often experience a shine on their skin which more than often they do not enjoy. Most of the people inherit oily skin from their parents. But oily skin is a great boon for keeping wrinkles at bay. Generally people with oily skin find it difficult to maintain especially when they want to wear makeup. So lets see how can we control the excessive shine on the face.

1. Keep your skin squeaky clean. Our skin finds it difficult to breathe when the pores are clogged due to the oil secretion which can lead to unwanted blackheads or whiteheads. Use a mild face cleanser to wash your face.

2. In summers apply astringents. Astringents are not only effective for oily skin but a wonderful way to keep the open pores of the skin clean. Always keep a bottle of astringents handy and wipe your face by pouring it on a piece of cotton.

3. Remember too much of cleaning and wiping the face can lead to dehydration. It is necessary to keep the skin hydrated as well. So try to apply some oil free lotion or cream which isn't heavy for your skin.

4. Exfoliate your skin. But be cautious if you have acne. Exfoliation is an excellent way to clear off the dead cells, the blackheads or whiteheads thus giving skin a fresh appeal. Choose exfoliating cream wisely especially if you are allergic to any ingredient.

5. The market is flooded with beauty masks and you can choose form fullers earth to clay masks to orange peel powder especially which are ideal for oily skin. Apply them on your face and neck and wash with cold water.

6. Irrespective of weather drink lots of water and have seasonal fruits to keep your skin healthy and glowing.

7. Try to minimize your make up unless its essential. Heavy make up regularly tends to rob off the skin of  its essential oils.

Having said so it can be safely concluded that following these simple steps will surely help you and your skin experience a fabulous weather!!!!!
