If you have oily skin, you will know that it can prove to be the bane of
your existence. Acne, eruptions, blackheads - all come uninvited. The bad
news for those who have oily skin is that you can expect breakouts and
greasiness to get aggravated during your periods, pregnancy, menopause
or whenever else your skin feels like doing what it wants.
The good news is that you can keep a tab on your skin with a little help
from your kitchen. Here are some home remedies to treat oily skin.
Natural Treatments for Oily Skin
However, it is also because it is so widespread that there are so many different and effective home remedies for oily skin.
Cucumber is highly regarded for its efficiency in normalizing
skin condition. Simply mixing cucumber juice with the cleansing
properties of lemon juice is known to be one of the best oily face remedies.
However, for best results, it is recommended that you place the mixture
in the fridge for sometime before applying it over your face. Allow the
mixture to work on your skin for about 30 minutes before washing it off
with the help of some warm water.
Aloe Vera :- Aloe Vera is highly regarded for its work with the skin and one
of the most widely used oily skin tips is to take a single leaf of the
plant, slice it into two and smear the gel all over your face, once the
gel has dried rinse the mask off with the help of some lukewarm water.
Tomatoes :- “Tomatoes can dry out your oil glands
without making your skin parched. They also get rid of pigmentation
problems,” says Virdi. If you don’t have time to puree the tomatoes,
simply cut them into half and slide the cut pieces over your face.
Egg white :- Apply a mask of egg white all over your face and neck to close pores and
tighten your skin. You can also make a mask of one egg white, a
teaspoon of lemon, a teaspoon of mint and half a cucumber. Blend and
apply for 15-20 minutes.
Turmeric with raw milk :- According to Hule, milk that has not been boiled is a very good cleanser, especially since it has cream in it. “When combined with turmeric, it makes a great face mask for oily skin,” she says. Turmeric is antiseptic and will combat the bacteria that cause pimples.
One last tip from our expert: Hule says you should be careful when using these ingredients. “Do not trust the powders you get in the market because more often than not they will be adulterated,” she says.
Multani mitti and honey :- Fuller’s Earth or multani mitti is an excellent absorbent and it cleanses the skin of all oil. Some may find it too drying for their skin. In such cases, it should be combined with honey. “Honey is a light moisturiser. It is a much better option for oily skin than bottled moisturisers,” says beautician Manpreet Virdi.
Red sandalwood with rosewater :- Raktachandan or red sandalwood has been used for cosmetic purposes for centuries in India. “It reduces acne, scars and blemishes,” says beautician Urmila Hule. It also gives your skin a glow. Rosewater will get rid of excess oil and grime.
