Hello! I have oily skin and sometimes get a spot on my face or blackheads. I usually squeeze them out and now have seen that at some places, especially on the chin, I have blemishes and would like to get rid of them but don't know how. At the moment I cannot buy any expensive face products so was thinking about some natural masks or creams that I can make myself.
Is there anyone who can tell me if there is something I can use for these blemishes, blackheads or any other face mask. Also is there something to use for under eye circles as they are a bit dark and though I have bought creams, these haven't worked.
Thanks & have a great day!!

Cut out fatty foods and dairy products - or at least reduce the amounts... dry the spots with calamine lotion... for blackheads, warm the skin with warm water to open the pores... apply soapy lather to skin, rubbing in to the pores... rinse with cold water to close the pores...

I had read they you need to close the pores even before applying make up. I had bought a toner which is supposed to close the pores but rarely use it. I'll start rinsing with cold water. Thanks for your help!

hmmm... I'm one of the male population who does not wear makeup... LoL... regarding the skin pores, that was advice given back in my teen years when I had to deal with skin acne... So, I have no idea what the toner is you're talking about, unless it's laser printer toner... LoL... But, I suspect any cosmetics that fill the pores may prevent your skin from breathing and probably will result in skin related rashes, especially when there's an allergic reaction...

Lol no not laser printer toner. It is to be applied to the face after cleaning and before the moisturizer. check out the link, it explains more.

One thing that you should not do to your face is squeeze your pimples.
One good thing that one could use to lessen the oiliness on one's face is lemon. It helps to lessen the oil being produced by the skin. With regard to puffiness of the eye, you could use cucumber and put it on your eyes. With blemishes,I once read that you could use a slice of tomato. It has vitamin C which is good for the skin, though I haven't tried it yet.

I also have that on my face, a lot of them but I just let it on. Not really bothering or noticeable unless someone look closely. My sister has it as well. She bought some cream before and it kind of lightened but when she stopped it came up more after that time.
Maybe you can try concealer then liquid foundation. That can at least lighten if not remove.
