The problem of oily skin is derived from any one or more of various factors such as genetics, environmental factors, and hormonal imbalances.
When too much oil is produced, pores block and this leads to suffering from acne or pimples. Furthermore, your skin when its overly greasy is a haven for dust and dirt.
If you are looking to completely eradicate or simply reduce the oiliness of your skin, check out the following natural skincare tips.
Use Organic and Natural Cleansers
Nut or milk-based cleansers are useful organic and natural skin care products to invest in. If you are looking to achieve superior results, you need to wash your face with a cleanser and some warm water two times a day.
Tips for Cleansing Your Face
- Gentle pat or massage your face, avoiding scrubbing it as this can dry the outer layer of skin
- Only use gentle, unfragranced and natural soap, if possible.
- Regularly exfoliate your skin
Incorporate Facial Masks Into Your Daily Routine
Give your face a deep clean using a facial mask regularly, at least twice a week. This can help remove any pore-clogging ingredients that have made a home for themselves on your oily skin.
You can find various organic facial masks at beauty stores and chemists.
Have a Healthy Diet
It really shouldn’t need to be said but as the old saying goes ‘you are what you eat’, having a healthy diet is crucial to having healthy skin.
In many cases, you will find oily skin is caused or even just exasperated by unhealthy eating habits.
Look to eat as much food and meals rich in minerals and vitamins, rather than quick meals and takeaways.
Greasy skin can be combated by dark green vegetables. For the majority of known skin conditions, food is the best remedy.
Make sure your diet includes wholemeal foods, nuts and lots of fruit and vegetables.
Always Wear Sunscreen
Exposure to UK rays and high temperatures only make oily skin an even worse problem. When you wear a UVB sunscreen, though, you offer your skin protection from these harmful rays.
Look for products, though, that do not have any artificial ingredients and always look for 100% organic and natural.
Tone Your Face
You should tone your face regularly as this helps to close pores and reduce the production of oil.
The best toners are those made with green tea or vinegar as those ingredients are not harsh on your skin and have the most effective results.
Moisturize Your Face
This really goes hand in hand with the above. If you have oily skin, you don’t really need a moisture-rich moisturizing product, instead, a very light and natural one will do the trick.
However, be aware that using a moisture-rich moisturizer, one with beneficial moistures, should not be stopped, even if you suffer from oily skin.
To carry out proper organic skincare you need to use products obviously that have only been made from natural ingredients.
Look for products with jasmine, lemongrass, Neem, and Aloe Vera among others.
