The requirements to take care of oily skin are significantly different and using the facemasks mentioned below you can fight the greasiness in a completely natural and safe manner.
Oily skin demands special care and attention. Especially in humid weather, the excess greasiness leaves the skin dull, weary, and lusterless. If you too have oily skin and struggle to control clogged pores then the facemasks (DIY and store-bought options) suggested below are exactly what the doctor has ordered.
DIY optionsMultani Mitti Facemask: Natural and completely safe, the Multani Mitti facemask is a time-tested remedy for oily skin. You can make the facemask easily at home with just a handful of ingredients. To make it, take two tablespoons of Multani Mitti and mix it with organic rose water. Apply it on the skin, leave it till dry, and then wash the face to witness how Multani Mitti just sops up excess oil, dirt, and other impurities from the skin. The rose water complements the Multani Mitti by adding a calming and moisturising impact on the skin.
Sandalwood Facemask: Adding 2 tablespoons of sandalwood with one teaspoon each of honey and milk makes a very effective facemask for oily skin.
