Although the skin's natural oil is the substance that keep the skin smooth, elastic and youthful, too much oil often creates problems that can be difficult to treat. Excess oil can cause the skin to look shiny, and can contribute to acne and blackheads. Homemade facial masks for oily skin can be made with only a few simple ingredients, and will help to balance the oils in your skin and minimize the shine.
Step 1
Place one egg white in a small mixing bowl. Beat the egg white with a fork or whisk until it turns foamy and white.
Step 2
Stir in 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice and 1 tsp. fresh rosemary. Mix well.
Step 3
Wash your face with a cleanser formulated for oily skin. Smooth the orange rosemary facial onto your skin and leave it for five to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Rinse the mask from your face with cool water. Pat your skin dry with a towel.
