Tips for face masks for people with oily skin

It is possible to recognize a person with oily skin with the constant shine that the skin emits. This is because oily skin has lots of sebum that prevents the skin from drying out. However there is a disadvantage with oily skin that it accumulates much more dust and dirt than dry skin.

People with oily skin are advised to clean it with just soap and water. Use warm water to rinse the dirt, and then cold water to rinse the skin. Astringents and toners are required for oily skin, along with non-greasy light liquid cleansers.

There are numerous face masks catered for those with oily skin like the cucumber and milk mask and the honey mask. To use a honey mask, you have to first dip your fingers into a bowl of fresh, warm water and then dip it into honey. The honey has to be spread over the face and throat using upward movements while avoiding the eyes. Let the honey get absorbed into the skin and then wash it with warm water. You will find your skin glowing like pearls.

The cucumber and milk mask is the perfect mask for lightening the skin, cleaning and toning it and for getting rid of sunburn. You first have to extract the juice of a cucumber. Keep the pith for use later as an extra cleaning material. Then add the white of an egg and some milk powder and rose water to the cucumber juice to give a beautiful smell to the face mask. This paste should then be spread over the face and neck where you are provided with toning and moisturizing to the face. Leave it on for a few minutes and then wipe it off using the pith. This is a great face mask for women of all ages and is completely natural with no side effects.
