DIY Face Mask for Oily Skin

Hi! Today, I have a DIY face mask for oily skin. I have oily skin which behaves differently in different weather conditions. While I am travelling to some place where the temperature is low my skin is at its best and I love that. But when I am in some tropical place where the temperature is high with high humidity, my skin is the worst. It will become greasy and shiny with large visible pores and some acne. I have always tried and tested masks, that help to control my oils and tighten my pores. In my experience, clay masks are the best for oily skin people.

Clay is one of the best ingredients that helps in controlling oil, shrinking pores, tighten the skin while also exfoliating the skin. However, using clay masks more frequently or for longer time can dry out the skin. So it is very important to always moisturize after using a clay based face mask.

I like to make different variations of clay based masks at home that help me keep my skin oil-free, acne-free, smooth and hydrated at the same time. The one that I want to share today is clay based hydrating mask.

We will need-

Clay (Fuller’s Earth) 2 tsp

Honey 1 tsp

Aloe Vera Gel 1 tsp

Lemon Juice 1 tsp

Mix all the ingredients together to make a smooth paste ( We can always adjust the ingredients according to our skin’s need and availability).

Apply the mask to your face and neck. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Wash it off with cold water and use a light moisturizer. By the way using moisturizer is really important as the clay absorbs the oil from our skin. Our skin starts to feel dry and starts producing more oil. So my oily skin friends DO NOT skip on moisturizer. By regularly applying moisturizer we can fool our skin and it will produce less oil. Trust me I have learned this the hard way. 🙂

Overall, use this mask twice a week. It helps to improve the condition of the skin. It also helps to shrink the pores, hydrates and moisturizes at the same time because this mask contains honey and aloe vera gel. The clay helps to absorb excess oil and keeps acne in control. Lemon helps to brighten the skin. I would say this is super mask for oily acne prone skin. The result is glowing healthy and smooth skin.

Let me know your recipe for diy face mask for oily skin that I can try. 🙂 Until next time stay bright and beautiful!
