Though one need to take good care for oily skin but despite all its disadvantages, oily skin is a blessing in long run when it comes to wrinkles, lines etc. It takes time to show up than they would on dry skin. We recommend not using soap because it may be too alkaline for the skin; use any good face wash or cleanser preferably without strong perfumes or colors. Use warm water to loosen the dirt then cold water to rinse.

Peppermint Mask: Peppermint dissolves excess oil and gives cool refreshing sensation to the skin. It cleans the pores and kills bacteria that cause acne. Use pure peppermint essential oil. Mix 1 tablespoon milk, 1 drop of peppermint oil, 3 teaspoon distilled water, 2-3 tablespoon kaolin to make a soft smooth paste. Apply the peppermint mask on your face. Relax and let the mask harden. After the mask is completely tightened, gently peel and rub off the mask.

Lemon Butter Mask is wonderful for lightening up the skin, cleaning it, toning it and getting rid of sunburn. Take1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Beat both the above ingredients together and apply to face, leave on for 10 minutes and then wash face with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry with a soft towel.

Banana mask is a smoothing facial mask and great for the season. To do it, you need 1 banana, preferably ripe (you can keep ripe bananas in the freezer. Let it thaw before using), 1 tablespoon honey, an orange or a lemon. Mix the banana and honey together. Add a few drops of juice from an orange or a lemon. Apply to face for 15 minutes before rinsing with a cool washcloth or a steaming warm washcloth.

Generally honey is a natural astringent that will also help to tighten your oily skin. You can make also apple and honey facial mask for oily skin. Add one apple (peeled, seeded, and cut into slices) into a blender or food processor. Add 3 tablespoons of honey. Blend the mixture well. Apply to face and leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. You can also use egg whites to close pores. Whip an egg-white and apply it over clean skin. Leave for 10 minutes and wash it off.

French green clay is also a good and easy remedy for very oily skin. You may add essential oils or use it alone. Take one spoon of French clay and make a paste with few drops of water. The consistency has to be such that it can stick to your skin.
And finally these three things make easy masks to care oily skin. Honey, yogurt and oats. Mix one spoon of each and apply over clean skin. Leave it for 10 minutes and clean it with lukewarm water.
