Wash your face thoroughly at least twice a day with glycerine soap to remove the dirt. After washing your face, use a toner to close the pores on the skin.

If you don't want to use glycerine soaps, you can use face washes with these ingredients which are specifically made for oily skin, such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or glycolic acid.

5. Moisturize Daily

Oily skin needs to be moisturised daily. Avoid heavy moisturizing creams and lotions. Look for oil-free and water-based moisturizers. After cleansing and toning you need to moisturize, just because you have oily skin doesn't mean you should skip it. If you want a home-made moisturizer you can try that too. You need tulsi (basil), glycerine and rose water. Crush some tulsi leaves by adding little rose water and glycerine. Squeeze it with your hand to extract the juice. Apply it on your face. The antiseptic and antibacterial properties in tulsi regulates oil production and clear out blemishes. Rose water gives a rosy glow to oily skin and glycerine moisturizes it

Peel an apple and cut it in to small pieces. Rub these small pieces on your face. After one hour wash your face with clean water. Another thing you can do is grate an apple and mix it with some curd. Add one teaspoon of lemon juice to the mask and apply it on your face. Wash it after 15 minutes. Curd contains lactic acid and this acts as the skin moisturizing agent.

Repeat this remedy 1 to 2 times every week for best results.

10. Choose Right Makeup

When choosing foundation or any other makeup, pick those with gel, liquid or powder bases. If using a liquid makeup make sure it is water based, not oil based. Makeup labelled "noncomedongenic" contain ingredients that won't clog your pores. Try to use concealer more than foundation because it contains less oil. Powder based blush and eyeshadow are the best picks for oily skin.

Carbonated drinks are high in sugar content and are said to form pimples on oily skin. Vitamin B2 helps in preventing oily skin, therefore, include good sources of vitamin B2 by eating wheat, whole grains, beans, and nuts. Reduce the intake of sugar and fat and avoid chocolate, fried foods, alcoholic beverages and soft drinks.

All you need to do is focus on good skin care because beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle.
