Im an Indian and I sweat a lot,even when its not hot. my face is always oily, except after a shower.Any Ideas?

Answer 1

try applying curd on your face and leave it to dry.. rinse it with water after 15 minutes.. this should keep ur skin glowing and take off the unwanted chemicals.. moreover, u need to drink plenty of water to avoid the oily excretions from ur skin.. avoid all the cosmetic creams since they only add to the problem.. let me know if this works..

Answer 2

For your face, I would recommend reducing the oil and fat in the foods you eat. Your body will often excrete excess oil from the food you eat. Then I would recommend you drink water and try the cleaners the other answerers mentioned.

For the sweating, I used to sweat on my underarms for no reason and could not stop it. Then I discovered the antiperspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your underarms again. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the anti-perspirant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I used to have to wear a jacket to hide the sweat stains, but I have not been wet under my arms in years.

If the Certain Dri does not work or you want to try some other things below is a link to a number of other anti-perspirant solutions. Just please avoid surgery, there are way to many people who have been disabled by the surgery to try and reduce sweating.

Answer 3

Easy. Use clinique brand pore minimizer. It reduces the look of pores and leaves the skin looking smooth, shine free. It has no oil in it so it will not add to your problem. You may also want to wash your face with a oil free cleaser twice a day. As soon as you wake up and before you go to bed. You can also choose an acne wash with benzoyl peroxide in it, even if you don't have any acne as it "dries" out the skin. Getting rid of your oily problem. Hope this helps. :]

I TOO AM FROM INDIA i.e. Mumbai. IT IS MOSTLY DUE TO THE extreme heat & humidity. Due to bodys internal heat as well as to protect the skin & remove excess of oil, the body sweats & skin becomes oily. I too suffer from the above. Good to hear from another Indian.

Answer 5

Drink plenty of water, this will keep the body cool and hydrated. Try using Nutragenia (I think that's the way it's spelled) soap for oily skin. It contains natural ingredients that won't harm your skin. My face is oily also and usually will break out. This has worked for me in the past, please let me know if it works for you.

Vigorous sex really helps to clean out the pores. . . or it makes you forget all about your oily skin? I forget, but I'm fairly sure it's one of the two.
