Homemade Facials For Oily Skin: Oily skin can be frustrating at times and you are not the only one who is facing this issue. The oil, especially on the face, increases in the summer season due to increased sebum production. Oily skin can lead to clogged pores, persistent shine and unexpected breakouts. Although there are several commercial products available in the market that promise oil-free skin, most of them contain harsh chemicals that can strip natural moisture from the face, ironically triggering even more oil production. But no need to worry more! There are several natural, powerful and gentle ingredients that can balance oil production and promote a healthy, clear complexion.
Nothing can be better than natural, homemade facial treatments that can help manage oily skin and bring back the skin’s natural glow. These DIY facials use ingredients that are readily available in the kitchen and have no side effects. Besides, they are cost-effective and are safe and give quick results. Here are the three natural homemade facials that help control oil and clear the face fast.
DIY Homemade Facials For Oil-Free Skin
Honey And Lemon Facial - For Oil Control And Brightening
Honey is a natural antibacterial and humectant that helps hydrate without adding oil. Lemon, on the other hand, helps reduce excess oil and brightens the skin due to the presence of natural astringents and vitamin C properties. For this facial, take 1 tablespoon of raw honey and half a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Mix them well and apply them on the face evenly, avoiding the eye area. Leave for 15-20 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water.
Multani Mitti And Rose Water Facial - For Deep Cleaning
Miltani mitti, also known as fuller’s earth, absorbs excess oil and deeply cleanses pores. Rose water tones and soothes the skin, making them a perfect combo for an oily skin type. Make this facial by adding 2 tablespoons of multani mitti and enough rose water to get a smooth paste. Apply it all over the face. Let it dry for 15 minutes. With the help of little water, massage the pack and rinse of with cool water.

Oatmeal And Yoghurt Facial - For Gentle Exfoliation
Oatmeal acts as a gentle exfoliator and soothes irritation. Yoghurt contains lactic acid, which helps dissolve dead skin cells and tighten pores. Mix 2 tablespoons of ground oatmeal and a tablespoon of yoghurt. Apply the paste on the face and gently massage in a circular motion. Leave for 10-15 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water.
