Oily skin is hard to maintain as the face looks greasy all the time. Doing a facial is the best way to maintain the oily skin as it removes the excess oil, dirt accumulated, exfoliates the dead cells, reduces the size of skin pores and soothes the skin. Also, a facial done for the oily skin once a week brings a glow to the face and makes you look younger.
A facial is a procedure which includes five basic steps of cleansing the face, Giving a steam to the face, Applying a facial mask, toning and moisturizing. These steps can be done at home with natural ingredients.
Cleansing For Oily Skin:
Take a spoon of oats and mix it with milk or curd to make a paste. Apply this paste on the face, neck and gently massage in circular motions for a minimum of 5 minutes with fingertips. Wash your face with warm water and pat dry your face.
Steaming For Oily Skin:
Take a vessel and fill with hot water. You can add some soothing scents in the water and apply the steam to the face for 5 minutes by covering the head with a towel. The steaming opens up the pores which help the goodness of facial mask ingredients to penetrate into the skin.
Facial Mask For Oily Skin:
Take a tablespoon of Fullers Earth (Multani Mitti) and add some curd, tomato juice or lemon juice to make a paste. Apply this paste to the face and neck area leaving the eyes. Cut two slices of refrigerated cucumber and put them on the eyes. Leave it for 15 minutes and wash the face with cold water. Leaving the face mask made from Multani Mitti for a long can cause fine lines, so please take care of that.
Toning For Oily skin:
Rose water is a very good natural toner. Dip a cotton ball in rose water and gently pat on the face and neck. This closes the open pores, tightens the skin and brings radiance to the skin.
Moisturizing For Oily Skin:
Take a good quality water-based moisturizer and apply generously to the face and neck. Moisturizing skin after following all the above steps is important and should never be ignored.
