3. Face mask ( 2-3 times of the week)

Oily skin is very prone to breakouts and acne, hence a face mask 2-3 times a week will help combat by unclogging pores and removes trapped oil and gunk. It’s a relaxing way to help your skin rejuvenate and control excess sebum all in one go. Furthermore, always look for products that contain hyaluronic acid or alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) for the extra oil control. If you are planning to do a DIY mask, below are
few:

(a)Papaya – A study done in 2014 by IJPS (Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Science) found that papaya fights oil, bacteria and helps reduce melanin, which causes hyperpigmentation without drying your skin. Just mash up some fresh fruit and apply on your face.

(b)Clay – most off the shelf masks have it, instead you could just purchase the cosmetic clay powder. Clay is wonderful oil absorbent, try and mix it with some fresh papaya for a mask. Do not leave it to dry completely instead leave it for just 15 mins.

(c)Lemon and egg whites – Lightly beat an egg white with a teaspoon of lemon juice and dab it on the face as a mask. You can also add some mashed up strawberries for the extra dose of Vitamin C. But if you are allergic to lemon please skip it.
