Here are concise self-care tips for oily skin and open pores.

🏥 Cleansing Routine

• Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser twice daily to remove excess oil and surface impurities without stripping the skin.
• Consider a cleanser with salicylic acid (beta-hydroxy acid, BHA) 0.5–2% if pores are clogged.

🏥 Exfoliation

• Exfoliate 1–2 times weekly with a mild chemical exfoliant such as AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) 5–10% or BHA to clear dead skin and reduce visible pores.
• Avoid harsh physical scrubs that can irritate oily skin and increase oil production.

🏥 Moisturizing

• Apply a lightweight, non-comedogenic gel or lotion after cleansing to keep skin balanced; look for hyaluronic acid or niacinamide for hydration without greasiness.
• Use products labeled “oil-free” or “non-comedogenic.”

⚕️ Sun Protection

• Wear a broad-spectrum, oil-free sunscreen SPF (sun protection factor) 30 or higher daily; choose a mattifying or gel formula to limit shine.
• Reapply every 2–3 hours if outdoors or sweating.

🏥 Lifestyle Tips

• Eat a balanced diet with whole grains or millets, dals (lentils), vegetables and seasonal fruits; limit excess fried and very oily foods.
• Stay hydrated, avoid touching your face, wash pillowcases weekly, and patch-test new topical products before regular use.

🩺 When to See Doctor

• See a dermatologist if pores or oiliness persist despite 6–8 weeks of self-care, if you develop inflamed acne, infection, or sudden worsening.
• For urgent worsening, seek immediate care or call Apollo Emergency - 1066.

If you want, I can recommend gentle Indian-branded product types or a short morning/evening routine.
