How do you get rid of oily skin without the expense of products?

I can%26#039;t really go to the market and buy products because my family is kind of tight in money.|||All the previous answers are things to try, toner will close your pores after cleansing, witches hazel will dry your skin a bit and close your pores but is pretty hard on the skin and your facial skin may become very sensitive very quickly. There are some really inexpensive facial cleansers at say Walgreen%26#039;s such as Deep Clean by Neutrogena. However, if you have zero money, have teenager skin and you don%26#039;t want acne scars --go this route--use a really mild soap on your face like Dove maybe, just using your clean hands and warm water. Then dab very well with vinegar. It will take the oil off your face and clean and balance your pores. It will sting but really be soft and smooth after. For a facial mask for oily skin do what the old-time fashion models once did--take oatmeal and mix with milk (you can use water but I like milk for the skin). You can use it as a mask right away but I like it to sit overnight in the refrigerator overnight--makes the mix softer. Do not scrub your face with this oatmeal mixture as it is just to be dabbed on the face, let it dry a bit and keep building it up on your face. It will draw the oil off your face. The oatmeal is not round and soft really, so do not scrub your face with this mask. Let it dry and remove with warm water, then vinegar to balance the skin. Once again, if you have any money at all just go study the facial masks at like Walgreens and you%26#039;re looking for the mud type masks for oily skin. The Walgreens products are like 2-3 dollars only. But, the oatmeal mask and vinegar toner are both good any time and should be mixed in anyway, just to remove oils and costs down over the years..|||Drink more water to help clean out toxins that are in your pores and use inexpensive oil blotting sheets through out the day.|||I use clean and clear daily oil strips.


They don%26#039;t smudge your make up, and take the shine off your face.


You can get them at Wal-Mart for like, 4 Dollars|||use lemon and honey as face mask twice a week|||Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and eating enough Vitamin C everyday. These things flush out toxins in your body and are great for your skin! Good luck!|||Just by Toner or Witches Hazel|||The best way? quite honestly, modify your diet. Drink lots of water, and eat veggies and fruits. I did this awhile ago, and my skin cleared up, my face wasn%26#039;t as oily.





btw--don%26#039;t fret about oily skin; even though I%26#039;m a smoker, people tell me I look 1/2 my age. ;) There is a tremendous upside to oily skin.





An astringent can help with the oily skin, and face powder later in the day when you can%26#039;t carry the astringent with you, like at school.|||Go buy a $ 1.50 bottle of rubbing alchol and after your shower use a Cotton ball an apply it on the oily spots|||Ah! Don%26#039;t use straight rubbing alcohol on your skin. You%26#039;ll go from oily to super dry, tight, and irritated. Instead, try buying a bottle of Witch Hazel from your local market or drugstore. This should be in the First Aid section. It%26#039;s all-natural, not as drying as alcohol, yet works wonders on oily skin and breakouts. It even smells pretty darn nice (and it%26#039;s a lot less expensive than those pricey toners).





I hope this helps you!
