There are many causes of oily skin. Heredity, hormones, glands, and birth control can all play a part. Just as there are many causes, there are also many cures. Here are some simple and natural oily skin care tips.

Washing

The first thing that a person with oily skin can do for natural oily skin care to wash their face with lots of soap and very warm water to dissolve the oil. The warm water keeps the pours from closing. The choice of soap is important. A soap that completely strips the oil from your skin will irritate it and make it flake, or even worse, make the skin work overtime producing even more oil to make up for the oil that is lost to washing . This is a process called seborrhea. Another thing that stimulates seborrhea is washing too much. Only wash your face two or three times a day at the most.

Everyone's heard the phrase oil and water don't mix. The best soaps for oily skin are oil based. A good choice is a soap made with avocado oil. Also, stay away from cleansers that contain alcohol because they are too harsh and will strip your skin.

Simply rinsing your face with cool water will close the pours and refine them naturally.

Another natural oily skin care tip is to not touch your face with dirty hands. The bacteria and dirt will stimulate the oil production. The introduction of bacteria to your face can also cause blemishes.

Natural Treatments

There are several natural oily skin care treatments that you can make at home to stem your skin's oil production.

One way is to make a mask of powdered oatmeal and water and apply it daily for thirty minutes a day. Oatmeal is a natural oil absorber. A clay or mud mask will do the same thing for your face without drying it out. You can make one of these masks by mixing green clay powder with raw honey, and leaving it on for fifteen to thirty minutes.

Products

If you decide to use store bought products on your face remember to look for ones that are all-natural and oil free. This goes for makeup, lotions, creams, etc.

A dusting of color-free powder is good for soaking up excess oil when you are not able to wash. Look for powders made for oily faces.

Natural oily skin care is simple once the rules are taken to heart and used on a continual basis.
