One of the things recommended by cosmetologists to keep your skin looking young is periodic exfoliation. Using scrubs to mildly exfoliate the upper layer of the skin of dead cells works quite well to improve the texture of the skin. Dead skin buildup over a period of time often results in a patchy looking skin. Scrubbing will help to even out such skin discoloration, to some extent. Oily skin needs more scrubbing than other skin types. However, do not use harsh, abrasive ones and don’t scrub your skin too vigorously. Here are some excellent homemade facial scrub recipes for oily skins. A tired, sluggish face will brighten up instantly after using these. Carrot scrub
Ingredients:
Grated carrot – 2 tsp
Lime juice – 1 tsp
Honey – ½ tsp
Brewer’s yeast – 1 tsp
Almond oil – ½ tsp
Method:
Mix all the ingredients well and apply all over your face, leaving the under eye area and the area around the mouth and massage gently with your fingers in circular motions. Leave on for 7-10 minutes and wash off with cold water. Do not use this if you have acne/pimples. If your skin is extremely oily, skip using almond oil in the recipe.
Green gram (Moong dal) scrub
Ingredients:
1 tablespoons green gram powder
1 tablespoons besan (chickpea flour)
1 teaspoon sandalwood powder
Method:
Combine all the ingredients. Mix it with a little milk cream (malai)/olive oil/almond oil and gently scrub over your facial skin avoiding the area under the eyes. Leave it on for 7 minutes and wash off.

Fruit facials are good for oily skin.If pimples are more you can go for a facial in which gel is used in large amount like aloe vera gel instead of some greasy cream.You can try some good home remedy for scars

God I hope that works. I have very... active skin. It's very oily and regenerates very fast. I own four loofahs and still can't get enough skin off.

Avoid using scrubs with harsh exfoliating beads that may cause microscopic scars on the skin. Instead, use chemical exfoliants such as AHA (glycolic acid) and salicylic acid that are more gentle on the skin and exfoliates more uniformly.
Don't use scrubs daily it makes your skin dry.
Home made face packs with tomato and lemon takes out excess oil and black heads. If your skin is carrying pimples or rashes then don't use lemon.
A facial sounds wonderful…I hope it is delightful for you!

lotion. moisturize. its genetics so theres not too much you can do. but to help each time you wash your face you should moisturize
use an anti oil cleanser and a mudmask, that takes out all oil
and use a anti oily moisturiser
Dear Aparna,
This is really interesting for everyone!!
Many thanks
To make a good facial treament you need following ingredients;
Mashed Mango 2 tablespoons
Rose Water 1 tablespoon
Honey 1/2 tablespoon
Oatmeal 2 tablespoon
1 Egg
These ingredients need to be blended well because of mango, otherwise it will remain lumpy. Apply to the face skin and neck in circular motions. Leave the mask on for 30 minutes, or until dry. Remove by simply rinsing face and neck with warm water, followed by a cold water rinse.
