Home Remedies for Extremely Oily Skin

Oily skin must be treated with extra care. Natural remedies prevent further irritation better than store products that contain chemicals from preservatives. Natural remedies are also an inexpensive way to maintain healthy skin.

Aloe

Make a solution of aloe gel and mineral water to spray on your face when it gets oily. Aloe conditions oily skin, refines pores and heals acne.

Witch Hazel

Use witch hazel to close pores and absorb oil. This is best used after cleansing the face.

Rosewater and Lemon Juice

Mix together equal amounts of rosewater and lemon juice to wipe over oily skin that is irritated with acne. Use this gentle astringent when skin is inflamed.

Clay and Lemon Juice

Mix clay with lemon juice, apply the mixture to your face and leave for 15 minutes. The clay and lemon mixture will draw out impurities, dry up oil and close pores.

Strawberry Leaves and Apple Cider Vinegar

Make an oil absorbing toner by steeping 2 tbs. of strawberry leaves in 2 tbs. of apple cider vinegar overnight. Strain the leaves, add 2 tbs. of water and apply to your face with a cotton ball the next day.

Gelatin and Grapefruit Juice

Combine 1 packet of unflavored gelatin and 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice and heat until dissolved. This mask removes dead skin cells that clog pores and cause oily skin.

Egg Whites

Separate the whites of 1 egg, apply to your face and leave it for 10 minutes. The egg white is a drying agent that absorbs oil on the face.
