How to get rid of oily skin at home?
Living with oily skin can be difficult.
There is no point in using face wash continuously.
Makeup only makes things worse.
Also, who can use the changing powder every hour? Frequent acne and other annoyances affects the skin.
Needless to say, oily skin needs special care.
Improper skin care and habits can make things worse.
The goal is to control excess oil, not to stop it completely.
Drying the skin only stimulates the glands to produce more oil.
So what is needed is a balancing act in between …
Here are some suggestions that may be helpful …
- Cleanse the face with cleansing oil.
No wonder you change the oiliness with the oil itself.
Cleansing oil completely removes oily, dirty and makeup from the face and gives the skin a smooth complexion.

Therefore, it is advisable to use it after examining how your skin reacts to the cleansing oil.
- Wash your face only twice a day
The presence of oily skin may prompt you to wash your face several times a day.
However, you should cleanse your face only twice a day after sweating.
Excessive washing of the face will cause the loss of natural oiliness.
Healthy skin needs natural oils.
Just use cleansing oil to remove excess oil and dirt from the face.
Products containing salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide should be avoided.
These will control acne but also dry out the skin. They can only be used for spot treatment.
- Face mask 2-3 times a week
Applying a face mask two or three times a week can remove the oiliness and dirt on the skin and reduce the risk of acne.

If it contains hyaluronic acid or alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), the excess oil will be absorbed.
If you are planning to make your own, here are the most popular face masks-
Papaya:
This will give it a natural glow.

Clay:
Clay has a special ability to absorb excess oil.
It is present in many commercial products. But they are expensive.

It can be mixed with papaya to make a face mask.
Wash off after 15 minutes of use. Do not wait for it to dry completely.
Egg whites and lemons:
It can be prepared by mixing one egg white and one teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Vitamin C can be secured by adding liquid strawberries.
Do not try this product if you have sensitive or allergic skin to lemons.
When using any new face mask, it is best to use one after checking.
Take a small amount and apply it on the neck, behind the ears or on the inside of the wrists.
Use only after observing for a while whether it feels uncomfortable.
