Natural remedies to get rid of oily skin

Oily skin is the effect of overactive sebaceous glands. Oily skin is more common in teenagers because of excess sebum secretion. Though, it could happen at later stage due to hormonal imbalance, pregnancy, and menopause. Oily skins are prone to acne, blemishes, blackheads, and clogged pores. Proper skin hygiene is very important not only for oily skin but for all skin types.

Oily skins are susceptible to acne formation. Hence, your care for oily skin is automatically the care for acne too. We go for outside treatment always but basically the problems arise due to inside body functionality disorder. Some of the crucial factors involved for oily skin and blocked pores are pollution, greasy and oily diet, poor metabolism, humidity, certain cosmetics and improper skin care. However, the type of skin is purely genetic.

Oily skin is not that bad as you get your wrinkle and other signs of ageing very late in age because there is enough moisture locked in your skin itself.
The first step is to know your skin type, so choose your product—from moisturizer, night cream and face wash—accordingly. Choose carefully the facial care products and cosmetics that are designed specifically for oily skin. Lot more oil in the skins makes your makeup slide and often leaves coating of grease and patches behind. The good practice is to use oil-free or water-based moisturizer before applying makeup.
Always go for water-based sunscreen in summer.

What to Do?

Wash your face 2-3 times a day with some herbal or neem face wash as it works well for oily skin. You must wash your face after you come back home from outside.

Sandalwood is best for soaking excess oil and reducing blemishes and pimples. It has cooling effect also. Make a paste of sandalwood powder using rose water. Apply the paste on your face, leave it for 15 minutes, and then wash. It tightens the skin, cleans the pores, and lightens the dark patches as well.
