How to Adopt a Natural Beauty Routine for Oily Skin

If your skin has a shiny appearance, feels greasy to the touch and you often have pimples or blackheads, you have oily skin. To keep oily skin glowing and blemish-free, adopt a beauty regimen free of strong soaps and harmful chemicals and adhere to it faithfully.

Things You'll Need

• All-natural castile soap
• All-natural alcohol-free toner or astringent
• Cotton ball
• Jojoba oil
• 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal
• 1/4 cup pure organic honey
• 1 cooked carrot
• 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

1. Wash your face twice every day with an all-natural castile soap. Oily skin attracts dirt, so keeping your skin clean is the best defense against blemishes. However, don't wash your face more than twice a day as it can dry your skin too much.

2. Smooth on an all-natural alcohol-free toner or astringent with a cotton ball to remove any excess oil. Look for toners and astringents with a witch hazel base, along with natural ingredients such as tomato, parsley or cucumber extracts that are beneficial to oily skin.

3. Moisturize with a small amount of jojoba oil if your skin feels dry after washing.

4. Exfoliate your skin with an oatmeal-based exfoliant once or twice a week to scrub away dead cells. Make your own easily by mixing 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal with 1/4 cup pure organic honey. Massage the oatmeal mixture onto your face and leave it for about 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

5. Use a natural facial mask once each week to clean your pores deep down, which will help prevent pimples and blackheads. For example, try an easy facial made from 1 cooked carrot. Mash the carrot with 1 teaspoon honey and spread it on your face and neck. Leave it for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

6. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Water flushes the toxins out of the body.

Tips & Warnings

• Always use a sunscreen if you'll be spending time in the sun. Choose a gel-based sunscreen formulated especially for oily skin.
