Cleanse oily skin

The first remedy for oily skin care is cleanliness . It is necessary to thoroughly cleanse oily skin morning and evening, with a soothing and purifying product . The natural remedies for oily skin that help keep it clean are many: ranging from lavender, to lemon, to chamomile, passing through sage, burdock, rosemary.

Just use a detergent that contains these ingredients and apply it to your face after having moistened the skin with warm water.

Clay: an excellent natural remedy for oily skin

One of the most commonly used and best known natural remedies for oily skin is the clay mask . Be careful, however, to do it correctly . A common mistake made by those with oily skin is not paying attention to keeping the skin moisturized and treating it, therefore, with products that are too aggressive.

The mask must therefore be prepared with water and clay to which must be added a teaspoon of honey or yogurt; the clay itself dries and purifies, so it is better not to add further drying ingredients such as, for example, lemon. So, in practice, a good clay mask can be prepared with: half a glass of clay, a tablespoon of honey (or whole plain yogurt), two or three tablespoons of water, preferably thermal.

After preparing the mask, apply it to the face and hold it for a few minutes without making it too dry; in practice, when the skin begins to pull it is time to wash it; to do this the ideal is to use warm water and use a soft sponge that should be passed very gently on the skin.

Essential oils for oily skin

Among the natural remedies for oily skin there are certainly the essential oil of geranium and the essential oil of lemon. Both of these essential oils can be poured into water and used to make compresses on the skin, mixed with creams, or become the ingredient of a purifying mask.

In particular, lemon essential oil has antimicrobial and purifying properties, while geranium essential oil has a strong astringent and healing action. If you use lemon essential oil it is important not to expose yourself to the sun in the following hours, because, in this case, spots could appear on the skin.
