Tips for Oily Skin
If your skin is badly blemished, use a medicted soap, avoid harsh soaps as they only dry off the top layer of the skin, leaving your real problem untouched. Wearing makeup on a blemished skin not only gives you greater confidence, it also helps cover your skin-flaws. What is more important is that it actually acts as a protection for your skin. So as long as you cleanse your face thoroughly and regularly, makeup will not make your blemishes worse.
Steam your face regularly, atleast once a week. This cleanse the skin and helps open clogged pores, which in turn prevents the skin from breaking out into pimples. Lime juice and vinegar are good after-cleansing and tonning lotions. Fuller’s earth, oatmeal and almost paste are excellent cleansers for an oily skin.
Beat the white of an egg and apply your face avoiding eye-area. Leave on for ten minutes, then wash off with cool water. This egg white mask has a marvellous tightening and pore-closing effect on the skin. Avoid rich, fried foods. These only contribute to oilyness. Substitude such foods with green vegetables, tomatoes, curd and lemon.
