Herbal Remedies and Other Natural Remedies

Herbs and other natural products contain ingredients that help to provide good oily skin care treatment. Lime juice, cucumber juice and lemon juice are good for oily skin. Apply the juice directly onto your skin, allow it to dry and then wash off with warm water. To reduce the effects of make-up on oily skin, the juice should be left to dry and make-up can be applied directly on top of it.

Witch hazel is a good natural product for absorbing extra oil. Lavender may also be used in oily skin care. You can use it as a mist, in a toner or in a facial sauna. For a facial sauna, parsley and thyme can also be added. For an aromatherapy facial sauna, add lemon, cedarwood or rosemary.

Clay masks are particularly effective in the treatment of oily skin. You can make your own clay mask by mixing green clay power with water or honey. Apply it to your face and then rinse off after fifteen minutes.

Fruit acid masks are very effective in oily skin care. They remove the excess oil and dead skin cells, without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Fruit acid masks can be made at home by applying papaya, mango, grapefruit or any fruit containing acid to the face.
