After sometime we tend to get an oily face. If we have that oil on our face will there be any problems such as growth of pimples,rashes etc ??? Is it necessary to wash our face as soon as we get/feel of getting an oily face. what are your views?

I think there is no need to worry about it,if there is no pimples in your face.If you feel very bad then wash the face with cold water or use any good ayurvedic soap.

I don't think that you need to wash your face as soon as you feel oily. If your face is oily use a oil blotter instead too much washing is bad for the skin. Oily face tends to have more pimples or blackheads. Use a mask twice a week and drink more water.

The following statements is purely personal experience and need not be follwed: 1. I take bath everyday. 2. 30 minutes before bath, I apply 2 spoon full of oil on my face, toes, legs. 3. This I am doing from my childhood days. 4. The reason being, it helps me protect the skin. 5. Weather keeps changing in our place and most of the time it is mild weather and skin becoames rough. During the bath I do not apply the chemical oriented soap, instead I use the soapnut powder which is purely a village stuff and clean the body. So a small percentage of oil is left on the face which is not noticeable. Too much of oil left on the face is dangerous because when you go out, face attracts the dust and cover all the skin porasity and creates a problem. Therefore oil is a must for face before bath and since I do not use any creams or modern skin protection materials, I rely on coconus oil. It does a lot good and my skin is n perfect condition.

Hi there.. I have an oily face, and I don't like it that way.. I just wash my face with the facewash whenever it gets too oily... I don't think it is bad for ur face, its just that u don't feel comfortable carrying an oily face, u always feel that u have put smthing very heavy on ur face...

If your face is oily it will collect dust and bacteria and you will get more pimples, so washing your face frequently is good for oily faces.
