What’s the best homemade facial mask for really oily skin?

Question by : What’s the best homemade facial mask for really oily skin?
I was thinking about using yogurt mixed with honey but i’ve also heard that oatmeal or baking soda are good facial masks. For those of you with oily skin what do you use that works and how often do you do it? My skins REALLY oily. Plus, what are some other types. I already use loose powder and oil absorbing sheets and wash my face twice a day.

First, use a baking soda scrub–but be gentle! Just dissolve 3 teaspoons baking soda in a little water to form a runny paste, exfoliate. Leave the baking soda on for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm–then COOL water. (Using warm water encourages oil release. Always end with cool.)

A plain egg white facial is THE BEST for oily skin! Just whip an egg white until it is frothy–apply, leave on 15-20 minutes. Rinse.

Another one that REALLY works–if you can avoid the “ick” factor, is clay kitty litter mask. Dissolve some CLAY kitty litter in a little water (put in blender to speed the blending). Apply, leave on 20 minutes. (Clay kitty litter usually runs less than $ 3 for a big bag.)

And, lastly, use plain apple cider vinegar as a “toner.” Chill, apply with a cotton ball. Cuts oil, good for skin. Dilute 50/50 with water if it is too strong for you initially.

For makeup, switch to rice powder–Sally Beauty Supply has it, along with their rice powder blotter papers–both less than $ 5.
