How Can Ayurveda Help in Balancing Sebaceous Glands and Prevent Excessive Oil Production? - #14899
I’ve been struggling with oily skin for years, and I recently learned that it could be due to overactive sebaceous glands. My face gets greasy by midday, and no matter how much I wash my face, the oil keeps coming back. I’ve tried all kinds of skincare products, but nothing seems to control the oil without making my skin dry or irritated. I’ve even started using mattifying lotions, but I don’t want to rely on commercial products forever. I’ve also noticed some clogged pores and occasional breakouts, which I think might be linked to the sebaceous glands producing too much oil. I’m wondering if Ayurveda has a more natural approach to managing sebaceous glands and balancing oil production without causing irritation or drying out my skin. I’ve read that Ayurveda focuses on balancing the body’s doshas and cleansing the skin naturally. Are there specific herbs or oils that can help balance sebaceous glands and prevent excess oil production? Would a natural detox help reduce the oiliness in my skin? Has anyone here successfully controlled oily skin through Ayurveda? What herbs or treatments helped you reduce oil and clear your skin?
