I have very oily skin like super oily, please help!

Hello Deergha,

Oily skin is a problem more common than you think. it is experienced by all the age groups and is mainly due to the toxins in the body that need elimination, a detox is recommended. The hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands tends to cause excessively oily skin. Oily skin is also a treat for the bacterial colonies which in turn is responsible for outbursts of acne and other skin infections.

1. Dietary advice:

• Eat green leafy vegetables, salads, and fruits as much as you can. They help in detoxification of the body. This will relieve all your skin problems in general and not just oily skin.
• Drink plenty of water every day. Water has been known as a natural cleaner and it cleanses all the toxins and flushes them out of the body.
• Eat an oil-free, fat-free diet. Excessive oils in the diet will contribute to your problems.
• Use neem fack pack or neem toners. They will not only help you with oily skin but also clear bacterial growth preventing the burst of acne and other infections.

2. Physical advice:

• Wash your face at least two to three times a day with nothing but plain water. It will cleanse your face and remove excess oil and dirt.
• Avoid touching your face unnecessarily and with dirty hands or wiping your face with a common towel.
• Have a good skincare routine. A serum at night, a sunblock in the noon when out traveling and a soap mild on the skin will help you considerably.
• Exercising daily for 30 minutes to an hour with moderate intensity should get your skin in action and clear out excess dirt and oil by sweat.

3. Mental advice:

• Stress has been known to cause various skin issues including oily skin. Try meditation for 30 minutes daily to cut out stress-related issues.
• Drink green teas and replace them with your regular tea and coffee.
• If you think your oily skin is related to the menstrual cycle then do not worry as it will subside with the cycle.

4. Routine and lifestyle advice:

• Avoid caffeine or don’t overindulge yourself.
• Avoid smoking or drinking as they have been known to cause bad health let alone oily skin.
• An active lifestyle is advisable.

I hope I have covered all the points. Do let me know in the comments if you have any doubts.

Thank you.

हेलो,
समाधान -

1. तैलीय त्वचा को खूबसूरत बनाने केे लिए नींबू, गुड़हल केे फूल (hibiscus flowers) या बेसन का प्रयोग करें।
2. चेहरे पर नीम और खीरे का पेस्ट लगाएं। 20 मिनट बाद इसेेेेेे  सादे पानी से साफ कर लें। 
3. लंबे स्वाँस अंदर भरें और रुकें फिर पूरे तरीक़े से स्वाँस को ख़ाली करें रुकें फिर स्वाँस अंदर भरें ये एक चक्र हुआ। ऐसे 10 चक्र एक टाइम पर करना है। ये दिन में चार बार करें।

4. सूर्य उदय के एक घंटे बाद या सूर्य अस्त के एक घंटे पहले का धूप शरीर को ज़रूर लगाएँ। सर और आँख को किसी सूती कपड़े से ढक कर। जब भी लेंटे अपना दायाँ भाग ऊपर करके लेटें ताकि आपकी सूर्य नाड़ी सक्रिय रहे।

5. सब्ज़ी, सलाद, फल, मेवे, आपका मुख्य आहार होगा। आप सुबह खीरे का जूस लें, खीरा 1/2 भाग धनिया पत्ती (10 ग्राम) पीस लें, 100 ml पानी मिला कर पीएँ। 2 घंटे बाद फल नाश्ते में लेना है।

दोपहर में 12 बजे फिर से इसी जूस को लें। इसके एक घंटे बाद खाना खाएँ। शाम को नारियल पानी लें फिर 2 घंटे तक कुछ ना लें। रात के सलाद में हरे पत्तेदार सब्ज़ी को डालें, नारियल की गिरि मिलाएँ। लाल, हरा, पीला शिमला मिर्च 1/4 हिस्सा हर एक का मिलाएँ।इसे बिना नमक के खाएँ, बहुत फ़ायदा होगा।सेंधा नमक केवल एक बार पके हुए खाने में लें। जानवरों से उपलब्ध होने वाले भोजन वर्जित हैं।

तेल, मसाला, और गेहूँ से परहेज़ करेंगे तो अच्छा होगा। चीनी के जगह गुड़ लें।

धन्यवाद।
