If you’re trying to improve your looks, having oily skin is the worst pain. You wash your face, and a few hours later it’s shiny again. It can make your skin look dirty and nasty even if you’re clean, and it makes pores look way bigger than they are, also clogs them quickly.
I have tried moisturizers, cleansers, 10+ brands ranging from store to high-end but the only thing that helped me was salt.
Salt has natural properties that can absorb oil, fight bacteria, and tighten up your skin a little without being too harsh. It doesn’t completely strip your face dry like some strong acne washes, but it helps balance things out if you use it right.
What I do is mix about a teaspoon of sea salt (important: real sea salt, himalyan salt or natural salt, not low end table salt) into a cup of boiled sterilized water. After I wash my face, I splash the salt water on, leave it for a few seconds, and then lightly pat it dry.
I also put the salt water in a small spray bottle and mist it on during the day if I notice my forehead or nose getting shiny. It’s a nice way to freshen up without overwashing your face. (Basically the same thing as a salt water spray)
Just don’t overdo it. Once or twice a day is enough.
If you’re struggling with oiliness, it’s the easiest thing you can try for virtually free. It made my skin look cleaner, tighter, and less greasy after just a few days.
Attatched is the same thing just for girls that waste money: (Basically just face salting +cope that doesnt work)
