Natural ways of Oily Skin Care





NATURAL WAYS OF OILY SKIN CARE
Oily skin is a problem that is often handed down through generations within a family. Changes in hormone levels, such as those that occur during the teen years and early 20s, can cause skin to become oily and trigger outbreaks of acne.
But it's not just a problem for teenagers and young adults. Many women notice oily skin problems around the time of their menstrual periods, during pregnancy, or at menopause. Some types of birth control pills can also increase skin oiliness.
If you are one of them who have oily skin and feel though forever fighting and losing battle to remove the shine from your chin and forehead then following are the tips which will help you to manage oily skin so that it looks great..!!


Home Remedies Treatments for Oily Skin:-
Keep skin absolutely clean:-


It is important to keep the skin clean by washing it at least twice a day. Try the glycerin variety, generally available with most of drugstores.





Almonds and honey:-

The combination of almonds and sweet honey works as a gentle facial scrub for removing oils and dead skin cells. Mix a small amount of ground almonds with honey to make a paste. Gently massage the paste into your skin with a comfortably hot washcloth. Rinse with cool water.
Try aloe vera:-
Apply aloe vera gel to your face to absorb oil and clear out pores. Use the gel onto your face two to three times a day (especially after washing), then let it dry.
Use water-based cosmetics:-



Live without makeup if you can or at least without foundation. If at all you feel to use makeup, choose water-based products over oil-based types, and apply on spot rather than coating your entire face. In general, stick with powder blushers, and avoid cream foundations.


Wipes and Astringents:-

Keep wipes in your bag for quick touchups .Wipe your face with astringents while going to bed.
Moisturizers:-
Apply a sunscreen to the face before going outdoors in daylight.
Scrub and Masque:-
Scrubbing and masques on face can reduce oiliness
Cold water rinses:-
Rinse your face with cold water if you want to avoid chemicals.
Hands off your face during the day:-
Keep your hands off your face during the day. Hands deliver excess oil and dirt.
Lemons:-
Mix equal parts lemon juice and water, pat on face, and let dry. Rinse first with warm water followed by cool water for a refreshing treat.
The above tips will help you to manage your skin to look great and I will also like to add that oily skin people have an advantage over normal skin people as it help to keep skin look younger. People with oily skin over the time tend to wrinkle less than people with dry or normal skin.
