When you have oily skin, the chances are that your skin
tends to get greasy during the course of the day.
So we’ve come up with some super effective hacks
that will help you keep your skin looking matte
or even your makeup from melting.
If you aren’t already using a toner on your skin,
then you’re doing more harm to it than any good.
After cleansing your face,
toners hold an important part in your skincare regime.
So, if your skin is oily and it feels stretchy or
itchy after washing, you definitely need a toner.
The antioxidants present in the toner will prep your
your skin by hydrating it and balancing out its pH levels.
Moisturising your skin is an integral part of your
everyday routine, even if you have an oily skin type.
If you skip moisturising your face and body, your skin
will overcompensate for the lack of moisture
by producing more oil. So, if you love adding
natural ingredients to your everyday skin care routine,
you can make a lightweight moisturiser
using just 2 ingredients. Mix aloe vera
gel with some rosewater.
Apply it twice a day, after using your toner and
massage your face with it.
Aloe vera hydrates oily skin without making it greasy
and rose water will prevent excess oil production and
soothe it.
Oily skin types deserve special pampering
every single day.
And so you should start your day with a soap
that’s meant for your skin type. Invest in a cleanser that
your skin type or make one all by yourself.
Take an opaque white soap base
and cut it into equal chunks.
Microwave it for about 30 seconds or till it melts
completely.
Add 2 tbsp of finely ground rice to the melted soap.
Add about 7-8 drops of tea tree essential oil
to the mix and mix it well.
Pour the mixture into a mould of your choice
And if you notice bubbles on the surface,
spray some rubbing alcohol to watch them
instantly disappear. Ground rice is known for its
oil absorbing properties and tea tree essential oil
combats acne causing bacteria. Let it sit for
sometime until you notice that the mixture is set.
Now, for the second layer, take a clear soap base,
cut it in equal amounts and melt it for 30 seconds.
Now, add about 8 teaspoons of
activated charcoal powder to the melted soap and add
10-12 drops of tea tree essential oil to it.
The combination of activated charcoal and tea tree
essential oil will help detoxify and absorb
all the impurities from the skin. Mix well and repeat
the same procedure as you did with the first mixture.
Let it set for sometime and then you can take it
out from the mould and cut the bar into pieces.
There you go, you have your everyday oily skin fix!
If you prefer using natural ingredients instead
of products on your face, you can use this
DIY to tackle acne caused due to
excess sebum secretion.
Mash two garlic cloves into a paste and pour
some rose water over it.
Apply this mixture on affected areas and you’ll see a
noticeable difference in your skin’s healing process.
The anti-inflammatory properties of garlic relaxes the
skin and boosts skin health which makes it a
great remedy to treat acne.
Rosewater protects your skin from overdrying.
Looking to hydrate your skin and give an instant glow to
your face? Here’s a quick DIY that can help you fix tan,
add moisture and keep it radiant. Pour milk
in an ice tray and allow it to freeze.
Take a milk ice cube and massage it on your face and
neck for about 3-4 minutes.
Now, gently massage your face in small circular
motions. Rinse your face and you’ll wake up with radiant
looking skin the next morning.
An increase in sebum production tends to make your
skin looking oily
clogs your pores and leads to breakouts.
So in order to remove the excess oils from your face,
keep blotting sheets handy.
They are super essential as they help soak up
excess oils from the face and mattify it
keeping the oils from clogging your pores.
If you’re someone who cannot get rid of those bright red
pesky pimples, then here’s another cool DIY
that will help you out.
Take some powdered green tea leaves
and moisten it with some hot water.
Add a cooling ingredient such as
aloe vera to it and mix well.
Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that
reduces puffiness and stubborn acne and acne scars.
This mixture will calm down those swollen pimples
that cannot be covered up with makeup.
Following these simple everyday hacks will help you
reduce the excess oils from your face and body as well
as keep acne at bay.
Until next time, stay tuned and stay Glamrs.
