I’m back with the third instalment of this series: Face Packs for oily skin

Oily skin is prone to a lot of problems like blackheads, pimples, blemishes and enlarged pores. So the idea behind using any product for oily skin should be :-

• To minimize enlarged pores.
• To control blackheads and clear clogged pores.
• To reduce pimples and ensure that it doesn't leave scars on your face.
• And finally to prevent greasiness and shiny skin and control the excess oil since the excessive oil on the skin attracts dirt which is the mail cause of all the problems.

So here are 5 tried and tested face packs recommended by my mom whose skin was prone to pimples at her younger age but now *touchwood* she has clear skin.

• ½ tsp honey
• 1 egg white
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• A little fuller’s earth to make a thick paste

Mix all the ingredients and apply on the face and neck and leave it on for 20 minutes. Wash        off with lukewarm water and then splash cold water on your face.

• If you have oily skin with rashes take less than ¼ tsp of clove oil, ¼ tsp of eucalyptus oil, 1-2 tsps of sandalwood powder (or ¼ tsp of sandalwood oil) and mix it with Fuller’s earth on your face and neck and leave it on for 15 minutes.
• If you have enlarged pores, then make a face pack using 1tsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp milk and oatmeal (you can crush the regular oats you have at home and use it), apply on face and neck and leave it on for 10-15 mins.

Mix 2  tbsps papaya pulp with 8 drops of lemon juice. Apply it on your face and neck and leave it on for 20 minutes.

• 1 tsp honey
• 1 egg white
• Mix and apply as a thick coat on the face and neck. Wash it off after 8-10 mins
