Humidity and Hot weather
naturally increase oil
secretion from oil glands of
skin. The oil producing
glands of skin are
overactive and produce
more oil. The excess oil,
which oozes out gives the
skin a greasy shine and
the enlarged pores make
the skin look coarse

When Kapha dosha is dominant
the skin will be oily, shiny and
soft. The skin will have a
glowing complexion. Wrinkles
develop much later in life.
When Kapha dosha gets
imbalanced in body and skin ,
skin pores get enlarged and
acne pimples start appearing.

Wash skin with plenty of warm
water (2-3 times a day) and
mild soap or herbal scrub to
prevent clogging of pores.

“Ushnodaka” helps to reduce
kapha and normalises pitta and

9. NO HARSH CHEMICALS ON OILY SKIN
Avoid using harsh chemicals
to remove oil from skin, as
some amount of natural oil
is needed to maintain the
texture of skin. Harsh
chemicals strip off the
natural oil from skin.
Natural oils are needed for
maintenance of skin health.

skin and also do not
clog pores. This
prevents formation of
pimples and skin
infection.
