A simple way to deal with excess oil is to use natural ingredients as a facial mask.

Brilio.net - Oily face is one of the common skin problems experienced by many people, both men and women. This problem occurs when the oil glands in the skin produce excess oil, which can cause various skin problems such as acne, blackheads, and a shiny face appearance.

Excessive oil production on facial skin is generally caused by active sebaceous glands. Factors such as genetics, hormones, and the use of inappropriate cosmetic products can trigger this excess activity. In addition, hormonal changes during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy can also increase oil production.

Although the oil in the skin actually has a function to protect and maintain moisture, excessive oil production can cause discomfort and affect appearance. For that reason, many people are looking for ways to deal with excess oil on the face. One of them is by utilizing natural ingredients as a face mask.

Tomatoes contain acetic acid and citric acid which function as astringents, which are substances that help shrink pores and reduce oil production. In addition, tomatoes are also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, such as lycopene, which help control oil production and fight free radicals that can cause damage to the skin.

Orange peel can reduce excess oil on the face due to its natural content, including citric acid and vitamin C. Citric acid functions as an astringent, which helps shrink pores and reduce oil production by controlling the activity of the sebaceous glands.

Orange peel also contains fiber and essential oils that help cleanse dirt and dead skin cells, which often clog pores and trigger excess oil production.

Lemon can reduce excess oil on the face thanks to its citric acid content which has astringent properties. Citric acid works by shrinking pores and controlling the production of sebum, which is a natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands. Its regular use for a face mask can help reduce shine on the face.

Sandalwood powder can reduce excess oil on the face because of its ability to absorb oil and control sebum production. Sandalwood also has astringent properties to shrink pores and reduce the amount of oil produced by the sebaceous glands.
