Stress and an imbalanced diet such as overdoses of spices and alcohol also timulate the overproduction of sebum. Excessive oily skin blocks pores and contributes to acne break outs. Clogged pores will further lead to blackheads and eventually pores will become increasingly visible.
What to avoid? - Hot and spicy foods - Alcohol - Oily foods
What to do? - Drink more plain water. - Wash your face regulary, at least 2 to 3 times a day. - Wash your face with warm water which helps in keeping the skin oil free. - Use an oil-free face mask two or three times a week.
*But do keep in mind that washing of face too frequently can stimulate your skin to produce more oil, hence maximum 3 times a day will do the job. *
