DIY options
Multani 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. Sandalwood is known for its antiseptic properties although few people know that it’s equally effective in removing extra oil from the skin. The addition of milk and honey in the facemask further helps by fighting bacteria and offering extra nourishment to your face.
Aloe Vera Facemask: Aloe Vera is excellent in controlling the oil production in the skin which coupled with its hydrating and nourishing characteristics make it an excellent ingredient for face masks. Pairing aloe vera with cucumber and lactic acid can multiply the effectiveness of the facemask and help you regain control over your oily skin.
Store bought options
Tea Tree Sheet Mask: Equipped with the goodness of Tea-tree, these masks are best to purify the face by removing excess oil and dirt. The soothing effect of the sheet mask is also beneficial for reducing irritation and calming the skin, making your face glow with unparalleled charm and radiance.
Lemon Sheet Mask: Lemon sheet masks are perfect for people looking to brighten up their skin by rebalancing oil production. These are infused with 100% lemon extracts. The lemon's astringent properties are specifically beneficial for removing excess oil which, in turn, helps you achieve a youthful and radiant complexion.
