Natural Remedies To Get Rid Of Oily Skin On Face

Share

It is hard for some to reduce the production of oil. Though oily skin prevents the skin for having fine line or wrinkles, too much of it can still cause some skin problems. Oily skin can be the reason why bacteria are trapped in the skin. This results to acne, blackheads, and other blemishes.

Below is an excerpt of an article that shares the natural remedies you can try at home to get rid of oily skin:

Wash your face

It seems obvious, but many people with oily skin don’t wash their face daily. If your skin’s oily, you should wash your face twice a day — but don’t overdo it. Avoid harsh soaps or detergents. Use a gentle soap such as glycerin soap instead.

Blotting papers

These thin, small papers won’t prevent your sebaceous glands from going into overdrive, but they’ll allow you to blot excess oil from your face to help minimize shiny, greasy skin. Blotting papers are inexpensive and available over the counter. Use as needed throughout the day.

Honey

Honey is one of nature’s most revered skin remedies. Thanks to its antibacterial and antiseptic abilities, it may benefit oily and acne-prone skin. Honey is also a natural humectant, so it helps keep the skin moist but not oily. This is because humectants draw moisture from the skin without replacing it.

To use honey to treat acne and oily skin, spread a thin layer, preferably raw, onto your face; let it dry for about 10 minutes, and rinse thoroughly with tepid water.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal helps calm inflamed skin and absorb excess oil. It also helps exfoliate dead skin. Oatmeal, when used in facial masks, is usually ground. It can be combined with yogurt, honey, or mashed fruit such as bananas, apples, or papaya. To use oatmeal on your face:

Combine 1/2 cup ground oats with hot water to form a paste.

Stir in 1 tablespoon honey.

Massage the oatmeal mixture into your face for about three minutes; rinse with warm water, and pat dry.

Alternatively, apply the oatmeal mixture to your face and leave it on for 10–15 minutes; rinse with warm water, and pat dry.

 Egg whites and lemon

Egg whites and lemons are a folk remedy for oily skin. Both ingredients are thought to tighten pores. The acid in lemons and other citrus fruits may help absorb oil. This is not a good choice for people with egg allergies. According to a 2008 study, lemons have antibacterial abilities.

To make an easy egg white and lemon face mask:

Combine 1 egg white with 1 teaspoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice.

Apply it to your face, and leave it on until the mask dries.

Remove with warm water, and pat dry.
