Oily Skin Care

• To prevent oily skin you should always maintain the skin as clean as possible.
  
  
• Use a good cleanser, specific for this skin type in the morning and night, even when you don't use make up.
  
  
• Alcohol base toners are good for oily skin.
  
  
• Don't use soap cleansers and products that can stimulate oil production.
  
  
• Moisturize only if needed, maybe in dry areas like checks and eyes.
  
  
• Exfoliate twice per week to get rid of dead cells and dirt.
  
  
• Use a mask for oily skin twice a week, after exfoliation.
  
  
• Use always sunscreen of at least 15 or 20 SPF before going out, even when is cloudy .
  
  
• And don't forget to apply the same care to your neck and hands.

• A mask made with a few drops of lemon (vitamin C, antioxidant), mashed cucumber (astringent and cooling properties), and a beaten egg white, will help with the grease in your face, and will get rid of any shine. Leave it for at least twenty minutes, and rinse off with mineral water.
  
  
• Any clay mask will be good for this skin type.
  
  
• Another good mask is to mash some cucumber, and add natural yoghurt. Leave it on for around twenty minutes, and rinse off with mineral water. Your skin should feel tighter, cooler and softer
  
  
• Rub half potatoe through your face to get rid of grease. Leave it on for about 10 minutes and rinse off with warm water. Apply your every day cream. Do it once a week.
  
  
• Another great mask for treating oily skin is mixing natural yogurt with few drops of lemon. Leave it on for about 10 minutes, and rinse off with warm water. Lemon is astringent, and a good tonic for the skin. This mask will give luminosity to your face.
