homemade care for oily skin

Skin cells produce a natural oil, called "sebum," which helps retain moisture and keeps the skin youthfully smooth. Your skin also maintains a natural acid-alkaline balance to help you fight infection.
When all these natural functions are running smoothly, you're rewarded with normal, healthy, youthful skin.
But when they're not running smoothly, the results can include a variety of problems that give your skin a prematurely old look. When your skin's oil glands produce too much sebum, pores become clogged. The result can be an outbreak of blackheads, pimples and acne.
Try these steps to solve the problem of oily skin:

1) Cleanse your skin with a pH-adjusted lotion or cream. Choose a gentle deep-pore cleanser that removes excess oiliness, fights bacteria and helps heal blemishes.
2) Follow a routine of regular cleansing every morning, every night and once or twice during the day if possible. Carry cleansing tissues with you in your purse for mid-day touchups.
3) Stimulate circulation with a mask product. Use it two to three times a week to help deep-cleanse and rejuvenate your skin tone.
4) Mix a solution of one-half water and one-half apple cider vinegar. Apply to oily spots and let it remain. Repeat this frequently.
5) Combine one tablespoon of plain yogurt with one tablespoon of wheat germ or bran. Smooth this mask over your face. Let it remain 20 minutes, and then splash it off with tepid water.
6) Combine one tablespoon of brewer's yeast with three tablespoons of water. Use this as a mask. Place it on oily areas of your face. Let it dry and leave it on for 20 minutes. Splash it away with warm and then cool water.
