Are you dealing with oily skin, clogged pores and acne for long? And, you have tried everything, but in vain. If so, then you are not alone. There are many like you. Oily skin is the result of overproduction of greasy and waxy substance called “sebum” which is naturally secreted by our glands to protect and hydrate the skin. However, too much sebum can lead to oily skin and also cause problems like clogged pores, acne, blemishes, etc.

You may find a lot of solutions available in the market that claim to wash away the excess oil. However, the downside of these products is that they usually contain harsh chemicals which can interfere with the natural balance of your delicate skin, leaving it dehydrated and more prone to skin problems. Now, you must be wondering how to protect your skin from damage without harming it in the process.

Ways to fight off oily skin naturally

  1. Keep your face clean: Wash your face with mild face wash and water. Washing more often can reduce the oil present on the skin. But, remember don’t overdo it. Avoid any face wash that has extra moisturizer, fragrance, harsh chemicals or scrubbing agent.

  2. Use a face wash that is apt for oily skin: It’s a common misconception that people with oily skin need strong face wash to remove excess oil. On the contrary, harsh face washes can irritate your skin and trigger excess oil production. While choosing a facewash keep few things in mind:

  • Face should have natural ingredients

  • It should be dermatologically tested for safety

All you need is a face wash which is mild, natural and specially formulated for oily skin, such as “Volcanic Green Clay” face wash from RAWNATURE. This unique face wash is made from green clay from ancient muddy clay pits of Brazil and contains high levels of naturally occurring minerals. It directly penetrates into your pores to unclog them, deep cleanse your skin and absorb impurities. It eliminates toxins, pulls out excessive oil, dust and stops debris build-up. Along with Volcanic Green Clay, it also contains essential oils -- acai oil, spruce oil, cypress oil, and blue sea kale extract. This blend nourishes the skin. It also helps to regenerate collagen, improve skin elasticity and prevent wrinkles and signs of ageing.

  1. Follow a good skin care regimen: Washing your face is important. After that, gently apply a natural toner and then moisturize your skin with an oil-free moisturizer. Also, avoid touching your face with hands, as that way you can spread dirt, oil and germs from your hand to face.

  2. Choose your make-up products wisely: When any skin problem occurs, it’s easy to hide it under a layer of make-up, but that way you’re only clogging your pores and making the skin problem worse. However, by choosing the products according to your skin type, you can prevent this problem.

  3. Focus on a healthy lifestyle: Following a healthy lifestyle goes a long way as far as healthy skin is concerned. Consuming healthy things like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds help nourish your skin. Managing stress and getting quality sleep helps too. Also, make sure you drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated, and eliminate toxins from the body, which in turn will keep your skin healthy.

It is time to give the care and love your skin deserves!
