Seeing oil dripping from puris makes one feel strange, similarly, the mind also gets disturbed when we see a thick layer of oil on someone's face. It feels worse when our face looks like fried puris and all our efforts to make our skin oil-free fail.

We are fortunate that there are many products available in the market, which help in making skin oil free but their effect is not permanent. In such a situation, the question arises of what should be done to control the extra oil coming out from the face.

We have talked to skin expert Dr Amit Bangia about this matter. Dr. Amit says, "The skin becomes oily when the glands present in the skin start producing excess sebum. In such a situation, if some things are kept in mind, then we can stop the extra oil production from the skin."

Doctor Bangiya also suggests a simple solution to control facial greasiness and extra oil.

Massage your face

Massaging your face will reduce many of your problems. When you wake up in the morning, you should massage your face with your hands only because a lot of oil gets accumulated on the face overnight. This is natural oil and you can spread it on the entire face. By massaging, the oil glands also produce less excess oil.

Also, keep in mind that you should not massage your face with any oil or cream. Instead of this, you can massage your face with aloe vera gel or rose water.

Do not use scrub

If your skin is oily then it is obvious that your skin pores will also be large. Large skin pores also cause excessive oil production from the skin. In such a situation, if you use a face scrub, the size of the pores will become even bigger. This will also release more oil. Therefore, instead of scrubbing your face, you should use gel. You can scrub your face with aloe vera, papaya or rose gel at home. By scrubbing the face with gel, the size of the pores starts getting smaller to some extent.

Do not take facial steam

You should also avoid taking facial steam. When you take steam on the face, the pores open, this not only removes the dirt from the face but can also cause problems for those who have oily skin. Taking steam also increases the size of pores and increases oil production. Even if you want to take steam, you can do it once in a month. But you should apply a face pack on your face immediately after taking steam, which can control oil.
