There is a thin line between radiant and greasy skin. The hot and humid summer weather leads to excess oil production from the sebum glands resulting in oily and greasy skin. This excessive oil might result in acne too. Thus, it’s important to get rid of this extra oil from your skin.
Are you tired of wiping off the grease from your face? Try these helpful tips for an oil-free skin.
1. Lukewarm Water
Switch to lukewarm water while cleansing as it dissolves the oil and helps remove oil and dirt deposited on the skin.
2. Don’t Scrub Excessively
It’s a good thing to exfoliate, but excessive exfoliation takes away necessary natural oils leading to dryness and rashes.
3. Use Sunblock
Give your regular face cream/lotion a break and apply a good sunscreen which is oil free and is SPF 30 or above. It protects your skin and gives your face a matte finish.
4. Skin Toner

After cleansing, an important skin regime for summers is using toners; it is a great product for oily skin. It soothes and cools the skin and reduces skin pores, thereby reducing oil release.
5. Gel Based Products
It’s better to use gel-based face wash and face creams viz-a-viz cream-based products as gel gets easily absorbed by the skin and is non-greasy.
6. Go Natural
Reduce the use of cosmetics and apply natural homemade masks that take care of your skin. The best choices are oatmeal masks, multani-mitti or sandalwood as they have a cooling effect on your skin.
7. Diet Alterations
Skip spicy and fried food in summers and switch to salads and green leafy vegetables and fruits to reduce the oil intake. Water should always be a part of your daily routine.
