If you’re struggling with oily, acne-prone skin, this simple 4-week lifestyle and skincare challenge can help you regain balance and clarity — without expensive products or overwhelming routines.
This challenge is designed with natural habits, balanced skincare, and a few Manam essentials to support your journey. Stick with it, and your skin will thank you!
✅ Week 1–4: Simple Daily Habits to Transform Oily & Acne-Prone Skin
1. Start Your Day with Raisin Water
Why it works: Soaking black raisins overnight and consuming them on an empty stomach helps improve blood purification and reduce hormonal acne over time.
- 🕗 Soak 7–10 black raisins overnight in water.
- 🌅 In the morning, drink the water and eat the soaked raisins.
- 💡 Antioxidants in raisins help clear skin from within.
2. Wash Away Sweat — Immediately
When to do this: After a workout, cooking session, or a long sweaty commute.
- If you’re sweaty but bare-faced, rinse with plain water.
- If you have sunscreen or moisturizer on, wash with a mild cleanser.
🔗 Try our Aloe Neem Bar or Charcoal Bar – both are designed for acne-prone and oily skin.
- Aloe Neem for acne marks & spots
- Charcoal Bar for oily, greasy skin
3. Apply Sunscreen — But Do It Right
Key tip: Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before stepping out.
💡 Pro tip: Apply it in front of a fan or AC — it helps prevent sweating and keeps your skin feeling fresh.
- Sunscreen protects your skin from UV-triggered breakouts and pigmentation.
- Make it a non-negotiable part of your morning routine.
4. Stay Hydrated — Religiously
Water = skin clarity.
Carry your water bottle everywhere like it’s your soulmate.
💧 How much to drink? Use this formula:
Your weight (kg) × 0.033 = Litres per day
For example, if you weigh 60 kg → 60 × 0.033 = ~2 litres/day
- Staying hydrated helps flush out toxins and regulate oil production.
5. Cut Sugar — But Do It Smartly
No complete ban — just conscious cutting.
- Reduce your sugar intake by 50%.
- Only eat your absolute favorite desserts — in small portions.
- Say no to daily mindless sugar snacks.
💡 Less sugar = less inflammation = fewer breakouts.
6. Night Routine for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin: Cleanse + Repair
Every night, stick to this 2-step skin-saving routine:
- Cleanse with
- Aloe Neem Bar if you have acne, marks, or dark spots
- Charcoal Bar if you have excess oil and clogged pores
- Apply Aloe Night Gel on clean, dry face.
Let it sit overnight for calming and healing.
💤 Wake up to softer, clearer skin.
7. Detox Oily, Acne-Prone Skin with a Clay Face Mask (2x Weekly)
Clay helps unclog pores, reduce oiliness, and control acne naturally.
- Apply Pink Clay Mask after cleansing in the evening.
- Leave on for 10–15 minutes and rinse.
- Follow with Aloe Night Gel.
🗓 Do this twice a week for visible results in texture and oil control.
🌸 Bonus Tip: Consistency > Perfection
You don’t need 10 products. Just consistency, a few natural ingredients, and a gentle routine. Your skin is always healing — give it a little love and patience.

FAQ
1.Can I achieve the same result in 4 weeks if I skip the lifestyle changes and only use the skincare products?While our products are designed to be highly effective for oily, acne-prone skin, they work best when supported by simple lifestyle changes. Skincare alone can help manage oil, clear pores, and soothe acne, but:
- Excess sugar, dehydration, and poor sleep can still trigger breakouts.
- Skipping the internal part of the routine (like hydration and detox) may slow down visible improvements.
So yes, you’ll still see some benefits using just the Aloe Neem Bar, Charcoal Bar, and Aloe Night Gel, but combining them with small lifestyle tweaks will give you clearer, more long-lasting results.
2.Can this 4-week challenge help with hormonal acne?
This challenge supports your skin with anti-inflammatory foods, proper hydration, and gentle skincare — all of which help balance oil production and reduce breakouts naturally.
3. Who is this 4-week challenge for? I’m 24 — can I try this?
