Complete Care For Oily Skin

June 12, 2009


Months of summer may prove to be fatal for oily skin. It is therefore necessary to know tips on how to take care of your oily skin.

Acne is the worst trouble of oily skin. Oily skin provides easy grounds for the multiplication of bacteria on skin. The oils contribute in getting more dirt and dust stick to the skin giving rise to serious skin infections.

The rule is to keep the skin clean. Good quality face wipes, made especially for oily skin must always be there in your handbag. At home, take a cotton ball and add sufficient drops of rose water on it to clean the face and neck regions. One must never rub the skin while cleaning. This tends to tear the sensitive epithelial layer.

Those with oily skin must apply a natural face mask every week. Sun dried orange peels and lemon peels do wonders for oily skin. Grind them to make a powder. Add enough milk or rose water (as per preference) to make a smooth paste. Apply all over your face and neck and wash off after 30 minutes.

Multani mitti or fuller’s earth is an excellent absorbent.  If you have very oily skin you can use fuller’s earth as a face wash everyday. It is the simplest and most effective way of getting rid of excess oil. In form of face packs, add some rose water and apply to your skin. You may even add sandal wood powder for added advantages.

Crush cucumber to obtain pulp. Apply it directly to your skin and let it work for 20 minutes. Applying curd to the skin wipes away excess oil.

Using a cotton ball, apply water melon juice on your skin and see the results for yourself.

Oily skin does not require strong moisturizers. Although they do need moisturizing. There are several oil-free moisturizers in market but make sure you are using the one of best quality.
