Home remedies for Oily Skin

Even though the remainder of your
face is prone to oiliness, always
remember that the skin around your
eyes is very delicate. Soak a cotton wool
(cotton ball) pad with a non oily
remover and hold it over your eyes for a
few seconds to give it time to dissolve
the make-up. Then lightly stroke away
the mascara and make-up from the
eyelids and your upper and lower lashes.
Splash your face with tepid water,
then lather up with a gentle
foaming facial wash. This is a better
choice than ordinary soap, as it won't
strip away moisture from your skin, but
it will remove the grime, dirt and oil
that accumulates during the day.
Massage gently over damp skin with
your fingertips, then carefully rinse away
with lots of warm water.
Soak a cotton wool (cotton, ball)
pad with a refreshing astringent
lotion. Sweep it over your skin to
refresh and cool it. This liquid should
not irritate or sting your skin  if it
does, swap to a product with a gentler
formulation or dilute your existing one
with some distilled water (available from
a pharmacist). Continue until the cotton
wool comes up completely clean.
Even oily skin needs a gentle
moisturizer, because a moisturizer
helps to seal water into the top layers of
the skin to keep your face soft and
supple. Choose a light, watery fluid
rather than a heavy formulation, as this
will be enough for you.
Allow the moisturizer to sink into
your skin for a few minutes, then
press a clean tissue over your face to
absorb the excess and to prevent a
shiny complexion.
