10 simple remedy for oily skin

November 2,2021
Share:

Joy Onuorah

Oily skin is the result of the overproduction of sebum from sebaceous glands. These glands are located under the skin’s surface.

Oily skin and acne are challenging to manage. However, below are 10 simple remedies you can try at home for oily sking management:

Wash your face

It seems obvious, but many people with oily skin don’t wash their face daily. If your skin’s oily, you should wash your face twice a day but don’t overdo it. Avoid harsh soaps or detergents. Use a gentle soap such as glycerin soap instead.

Honey

Honey is one of nature’s most revered skin remedies. Thanks to its antibacterial and antiseptic abilities, it may benefit oily and acne-prone skin.

To use honey to treat acne and oily skin, spread a thin layer, preferably raw, onto your face; let it dry for about 10 minutes, and rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal helps calm inflamed skin and absorb excess oil. It also helps exfoliate dead skin. When used in facial masks, oatmeal is usually ground. It can be combined with yogurt, honey, or mashed fruit such as bananas, apples, or papaya.

Egg whites and lemon

Egg whites and lemons are a folk remedy for oily skin. Both ingredients are thought to tighten pores. The acid in lemons and other citrus fruits may help absorb oil.

Almonds

Ground almonds not only work to exfoliate your skin, but they also help sop up excess oils and impurities.

You can also make an almond face mask by grinding the almonds into a paste before adding the honey. Leave the mask on for 10–15 minutes. Rinse with warm water, and pat dry. Do not use if you have a nut allergy.

Aloe vera

You can apply a thin layer to your face before bedtime and leave it on until morning.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes contain salicylic acid, a common acne home remedy. The acids in tomatoes may help absorb excess skin oils and unclog pores. 

Jojoba oil

Although the idea of applying oil to oily skin seems counterproductive, jojoba oil is a folk remedy to treat oily skin, acne, and other skin problems.

Blotting paper

These thin, small papers won’t prevent your sebaceous glands from going into overdrive, but they’ll allow you to blot excess oil from your face to help minimize shiny, greasy skin. 

Cosmetic clay

Cosmetic clays, also called healing clays, are used to help absorb skin oil and treat many skin conditions. French green clay is a popular treatment for oily skin and acne since it’s highly absorbent. French green clay comes in powder form
