Care tips for oily skin
Having oily skin can feel like a real curse for the one who possesses it. While the skin requires non-stop moisturizing, the person who has such skin type can never seem to find the perfect product and skin break-outs are just around the corner for them. Oily skin is that which glows only with a dense layer of naturally produced oil, is thick and has a perpetual dull color, all attributes that one would never wish to face. Where it seems difficult for one to care for sensitive skin, it is just as hard to maintain this type.
Oily skin generally takes its birth from the age of adolescence where hormonal imbalances are at their rise. With the aging of the skin the production of the oil producing glands decreases but while they exist, the skin is a bane to manage.
- The best part is its slow process of aging as the oil layer prevents wrinkles from forming for a long time.
- The best tip would be to remove all oil based products from one’s reach if they possess an even slightly oily skin. Even makeup products should be those that leave a matte effect over the skin surface.
- Though oily skin requires cleaning the entire day round but too much washing can recreate more oil as the skin gets stimulated while massaging. A maximum of 3 face washings should be made in throughout the whole day and when doing so, use only hot water so that the oil residues are completely removed.
- Use an antiseptic base cream both before applying makeup and sleeping reduce oil secretions
- Mud in the true nature is a drying ingredient but at the same time includes natural balancing ingredients. Applying a mud mask could help reduce oil formations for a few hours.
- Soft drinks are the biggest enemy for oily skin types due to its sugar content which too should be reduced in consumption.
- If you eat oily foods then it’s a given that your body will produce oil and with all that combined, your skin will suffer with double the quantity. Therefore cut down on the junk foods and the deep fried snacks.
- A good amount of sleep is a need without say, so one must invest in a good 7 to 8 hours of sound sleep to relax the pores and allow them for oxygen.

How to take care of your hair
The way in which you should care for your hair will depend on your hair type. People with greasy hair will have a different hair care regime than someone with dry or flyaway hair. You need to establish what type of hair you have before you know how best to care for it.
Dry hair: Often prone to breaking, frizzing and with a generally dull appearance. Dry hair needs moisture. When washing, use a shampoo specifically formulated for dry hair, this will help increase its much needed moisture levels. Also use a conditioner for dry hair. Wrap your hair in a towel for a couple of minutes after washing, then remove the towel and apply conditioner. This will make the effect of he conditioner more intensive. Try not to wash your hair everyday, leaving your hair for a couple of days and not washing it will give the natural oils in your hair a chance to spread around the hair a little.
When styling, use a heat protection product, this will minimise the damage that your heated styling appliances will do. Make sure anything you apply to your hair has dried before you straighten your hair. Having liquid on your wet air and then straightening it will do a lot of damage; your straighteners will basically boil any moisture that is left on your hair.
Greasy hair: Often looks lank and wet, and you may have washed it just that morning. This is caused by overproduction of sebum.
Specifically formulated shampoos are good for greasy hair, they contain ingredients that help to delay the production of oil, making the hair look fresher for longer.
You may need to wash your hair everyday, but do not use a harsh shampoo or water that is too hot. This will only cause the sebum glands to overcompensate and produce more oil. Try a dry shampoo; this will help to remove some of the oil without drying out your roots completely
You will still need heat protection so when choosing styling products, go for something light, but protective. Sprays are best, as serums and creams tend to be too heavy and drag the hair down, and make it look much greasier. Apply to the middle and ends of your hair, if you apply them too high up, you will just make your hair look even greasier.
Combination hair: Possibly the most difficult to care for, combination hair will normally have greasy roots and dry ends. There are shampoos available for combination hair, but there is not a great selection. Choose a mild shampoo, nothing too harsh, as this will damage the ends. Dry shampoo will remove the grease from the roots without drying out the ends. Choose a conditioner that is not too heavy, something designed for greasy hair; these will still condition the dry ends of your hair without making your roots look even greasier.
Apply heat protection styling products to the middle and ends of your hair, not the roots.
Normal hair: If you are lucky enough to have normal hair, then choose a shampoo and conditioner that will help to maintain the moisture levels in your hair, make sure you still use heat protection products.
Coloured hair: The lathering process when washing your hair can strip it of a lot of its colour. Choose a shampoo for coloured hair (they lather less) Choose a conditioner that is for coloured hair aswell, these will keep your colour looking fresher for longer. Try not to wash your hair everyday.
There are many styling products available for coloured hair, even specific colours such as brown, red and blonde (although I have never seen one for black hair)
These will all protect your hair and keep your colour looking vibrant at the same time.
