Treating oily skin with fruit juices

Oily or greasy skin is easily recognizable. The shiny nose and forehead, enlarged pores, blackheads and a tendency to break out into zits – these are its characteristics. And within an hour or two of cleansing, this type of skin is back to its old self and starts looking greasy again. You cannot change the skin type that you are born with, but you can learn to manage it effectively. Read this post on Oily skin care. Generally, people with oily skin have oily hair too. So they have this added burden of managing greasy hair too. And taking care of oily, greasy hair can be quite cumbersome. So if you have greasy, unmanageable hair, read through that post.

If your weekly skin care routine includes an application of face masks and packs, then choose the ones meant for oily skin. Here are some masks for oily skin.

For a change, you can try using this mask made from fruit juices. Fruit juices work wonders on your skin.

Ingredients:

Sugar cane juice 1 cup
Orange juice 1 cup
Water melon juice 1 cup
Lemon juice ¼ cup

Method:

Mix all the juices and store it in a small glass bottle in the refrigerator. Whenever you want to apply this mask, mix this blend of juices with a little quantity of besan (gram-flour) and smear it over your face and neck. Keep it on for 15-20 minutes and then wash it off. Use this mask twice or thrice a week, depending on the greasiness of your skin. Ideally, application of certain face masks, should be a weekly affair, do not go overboard and make it a daily ritual. You will end up damaging your skin. Read about this in Home facial foul-ups.

You get the maximum benefits of micro nutrients and antioxidants found in fruits if you eat them fresh. But fresh fruits may not always be around An alternative is to drink fruit juices. Orange, apple and grape juices are some of the common packed preparations you find in grocery stores. They all are beneficial to our health.

What you put into your body comes out. You could be eating greasy food. If you are eating foods that contain a lot oil or grease then it may be that your system is not able to get rid of the excess oil or grease. Perhaps you eat chips or a lot of butter/margarine. If this is the case then you are taking in too much oily substance and you need to reduce this in our diet. By doing this you can also reduce weight. Also water is very good for eliminating unwanted excess of substances in your system, so drink some more water to flush out your system. Your could also try some lemon juice in your tea which may help to break down the oily content of your food. Use a tea bag if you want and instead of milk, add a fresh lemon slice and a sweetener that has little or no calories as a drink. this is really refreshing and is better for you and will help cleanse your liver too!

You should splash warm water on your face so you open your pores.. after that use cold water to close them. That should help reduce the oil. I don't know of any homemade masks.. but I use clearasil daily face wash & that works GREAT! Leaves my face feeling super clean.

Tea tree oil works wonders! You can purchase it at any store to be honest now a days. It smells great and refreshes and moisturize your face as well as helps with your oil/acne problem. It's also all natural so you can keep PETA off your back!
