    for people with OILY skin a few things needs to be changed in their lifestyle ( I did have it too but have got rid of it ).

    1.Drink lots of water …a glass of water every hour or two would be good enough.
    2. Cut Down the amount of Oily or fried,Cold,Masala spices,and Sugar in your daily diet upto that extent THE POINT beyond which you cant cook food …i.e to say use the amounts just the correct small percentage it is required to make the food eatable. ( ah,it sounds savage or heart -wrenching,but boy Thats’ exactly what your nutritionist and yeah Ayurveda experts say so, plz dont curse me ;) )

    3.Include brisk/fast walking in your daily life or make way for it after dinner or maybe evening time whenever you can afford.

    4. Practice deep breathing (Inhale deep and fast ..exhale it at the slowest rate possible) ..it reduces anxiety,and hyperactiveness …and a few other things which actually causes glands in your face etc to release excess oils . plus it helps in this Kalyug too :P to get rid of anger,frustration and all !

    5.always wash your face with cold tap water after getting up in the morning and after getting back home from outside preferably with a good facewash which doesnt dries your skin after use.

    6.Keep Smiling (no am not asking you to be like that Village idiot,but frequently). it helps skin and maintain confidence ,feel-good factor,and maybe attracting a potential partner too :P .

    P.S.- keep your teeth clean and white :D else :|
