Introduction: The Myth of “Greasy” Skin

Every morning, before the sun fully rises over the rooftops of Dhaka, a familiar ritual begins.

A young woman washes her face with a harsh, foaming cleanser. She pats her skin dry. She applies a mattifying primer. She dusts on powder. By 10 a.m., her T-zone is glistening again. By noon, blackheads are forming. By evening, she’s scrubbing her face with a rough loofah, hoping to “remove the oil.”

But it only gets worse.

She blames herself:

“My skin is too oily.”
“I must be eating too much oil.”
“Maybe I’m not washing enough.”

Here’s the truth no one tells you:

Your skin isn’t “greasy.” It’s trying to protect itself.

In Bangladesh’s climate — where humidity hovers at 80%, temperatures climb past 35°C, and dust fills the air — your skin needs oil. It’s a natural barrier against pollution, heat, and bacteria.

But when you strip it with harsh soaps, over-wash, or layer on chemical-laden products, your skin panics. It produces more oil to compensate. And that’s when shine, clogged pores, and breakouts begin.

This isn’t a flaw.
It’s a miscommunication.

And the good news? You can reset it — gently, naturally, and affordably.

This guide isn’t about “drying out” your skin.
It’s about working with it — using wisdom from your grandmother, science from your dermatologist, and care from your own hands.
