My face is naturally oily but when I was pregnant the oil situation worsen. I was a bit concerned in using beauty products during my pregnancy that's why I tried the natural methods. Here's what I tried that worked for me: I apply lemon / calamansi juice on my face and let it stay for 5 minutes for taking a bath in the morning. Oatmeal masks once a week Good luck. =)

I think you should try drinking lots of water and also try to take lots of fruits. Fruits are good for beauty of skin. Try to wash the face with water. Try taking lemon juice mixed with honey in the morning this will help to remove the impurities inside the body and helps to glow the skin. Orange is good for body as well as for skin. Orange helps to provide adequate vitamins for the skin.

I just started a topic regarding home remedies using natural method. i use to have an oily skin too. But when i use lime or lemon to scrub and clean my face,it lessen the oiliness. Then,I use tomato and brown sugar as face mask. Egg white for face lift. Kindly check my topic and you will find more tips from other mylotters. have a good day and welcome to mylot jaiho®

Hi Jaiho, i liked your discussion especially the egg white discussion.Using home remedies on taking care of our skin is indeed money saving and of course more healthy to use natural products to taking care of our skin. Hope you post more in future...

I always wash my face with commercial products and then use cucumber to toned down my face. I even use egg white to tighten my face when i am at home. Although i don't fully use home remedies for my skin, but i do use parts of them when i am free. It can save some of our money and more healthy to use natural products on our face.

No, I don't know a home remedy, but have you tried following a whole skin care routine for oily skin, not just a wash? because even though you have oily skin, you still need to moisturize and tone your skin besides washing it as well. So I would suggest giving good commercial products another try, but buy the whole set, because that way they work the best. I love Neutrogena's products for this personally.

I only have one thing for it when im out, okay its gunna be weird. But.... The toilet seat paper, you know that thin thing you take that and use it to get the oil off. Its like the paper that is super expensive after a while to buy at beauty stores, the little strips. But its cheap and there and clean so mind as well use it. Hope it helps lol.
