How To Treat Oily Skin

[toc]There are three skin types; normal, dry and oily. People who have oily skin tend to produce excess oil which gives the skin a shiny and greasy appearance. People with oily skin are also more prone to acne breakouts.

Oily Skin

Clogging of pores due to excess production of sebum, makes the pores look enlarged. The one good news for people with oily skin is that they are less prone to wrinkles and fine lines. If you too have oily skin and wish to have a normal skin texture then there are some natural ways of doing so.


How To Get Rid Of Oily Skin

Rice Powder And Lemon Juice

Prepare a thin paste by combining two tablespoon of rice powder with a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Apply this paste evenly on your face with a thin brush. Once the face pack is dry, rinse your face with cold water.

Rice contains enzymes that help to dissolve and remove excess oil from your skin. Lemon juice has skin bleaching properties that help to give your skin a natural glow. If rice powder is not available then grind a cup of rice until you have a fine powder.

Oatmeal And Honey

Mix together a tablespoon of oatmeal with a tablespoon of honey. Add a few drops of rose water if the mixture is too thick. Now use this mixture to scrub your face. Make sure that you exfoliate well around your nose and chin as these are the areas that are more prone to oiliness.

After 10 minutes wipe your face with a wet towel and wash thoroughly with water. The oatmeal will help in removing excess oil from your skin and also help to unclog blocked pores.

Orange Peel

Grind some dried orange peel in a grinder until you have a very fine powder. In a small bowl combine one tablespoon of orange peel powder with just enough yogurt so that you have a mixture of thick consistency. Apply this mixture over your face and neck, avoiding the under eye area.

After 15-20 minutes, wash off the mask with cold water. Orange peel not only reduces oiliness but it also helps to reduce blackheads and enlarged pores. Regular use of this mask will make your skin smooth and give it a soft glow.
