Homemade Remedies for Oily Skin
If you have oily skin and you'd like to carry out something about this condition, here are few good tips for you:
- Follow up the cleanser with an astringent as this will remove all excess oil.
- Never rub your cheeks against anything nor let them be pressed or pinched.
- Never try to pluck out your pimples. If you do so they will leave a mark on the skin.
- Try to be always happy and cheerful. In fact it is medically advisable to laugh daily for about 10 minutes not only for your cheek's up-keep, but even for your normal health.
- Don't use any artificial coloring material like rouge etc. to make your cheeks acquire rosy hue. The best way to do so is to mix a few fresh rose leaves in raw milk and make them into the paste form. Then add a little honey to the paste and apply on your cheeks every morning for 5 minutes. Then rinse it off.
1. Face Wash
To take care for oily skin you should beginwith a gentle, foaming facial wash. This will remove dirt and oil without taking away moisture.

You should cleanse only two or three times at the very most with a product suited to your skin type. Washing more often will simply strip the skin of oil which cleanly stimulates the oil glands to replace it.
3. Toner
Rinse carefully and then finish off with a toner/astringent on the oily areas of your skin. The astringent can be used all over the day to help control the excess oil.

Make a puree of fresh tomatoes and apply to the skin.
