Question:
What is the best cure for oily skin?
Answers:
Oily skin feels very greasy. The texture is often very thick and coarse. There are large, visible pores. After a wash it feels fine. By midday it looks shiny. Often break out in spots.
To care for oily skin you should start with a gentle, foaming facial wash. This will remove dirt and oil without stripping away moisture. Soak cotton wool in a gentle astringent lotion and sweep it over your skin to refresh and cool it. Even oily skin needs a moisturiser, but chose a light, watery fluid; this will be enough for your skin. Allow the moisturiser to sink in and then absorb the excess with a tissue to prevent shine.
A clay mask works wonder for oily skin.
HOME REMEDIES:
1) Make a puree of fresh tomatoes, apply to the skin
2) Beat together 1 egg white, 1 tsp spirits of camphor, 1 heaping Tbsp skim milk powder and a scant drop of essential oil of mint. First apply a thin film of odorless castor oil to the skin , then apply a thick layer of the egg white mask. Lie back for about 15 minutes. Wash off with warm water, then rinse with an apple cider vinegar and water solution or witch hazel.
Cleansing Oily Skin
Before applying homemade facial masks and skin treatments for oily skin, it’s important to properly clean your face, but don’t make the mistake of using products that aren’t specifically meant for oily skin. Cold cream, and some facial cleansers are oil-based, and they aren’t appropriate for oily skin. Moisturizers that contain oil will cleanse the skin, but they will cause an already oily face to become even more greasy.
Find a low-cost facial soap formulated specifically for oily skin. Fill a basin with warm water, and saturate your face with the water. Make a thick lather with soap of your choice, and apply the soap to your face using a gentle circular motion. Rinse away the lather with the warm soapy water, and preform a second rinse with clean warm water. Lastly, finish by rinsing the face with clean, cool water, and pat your face dry with an absorbent towel. Cleanse your face in this manner, morning and night. This should help keep oily skin clean and under control.
Oatmeal and Honey Mask
An oatmeal and honey mask can be very effective for treating oily skin. Simply make a paste using uncooked oatmeal, honey, and lemon juice. Spread this mixture on your face, and use extreme caution around the eyes. Leave the mask on for about ten minutes, and rinse it off with warm water. Dab your face dry with an absorbent towel.
