You may think washing your face many times a day will help you get rid of the excess oil on the surface. But using a face wash too many times can wreck havoc on your skin. Remember each time you expose your skin to cleansers and water, you also strip the natural hydrating oils from your skin along with the grime. A parched skin will not only look dull but is also prone to wrinkles and fine lines.
According to dermatologist Dr Sejal Shah, you should wash your face not more than two times a day. Once when you wake up in the morning to remove the dirt and grime that gathered on your face overnight. Then wash in the evening after your skin has been subjected to the daily stressors to remove the make-up, dirt and pollutants settled in your skin pores.
The best thing to do if your skin is too oily is to use a blotting paper to absorb the grease without drying out your skin. You can also soak a cotton ball in a toner and then apply it on your face if your skin feels too greasy. Here are some more simple tips to manage oily skin.
