One tool to treat oily skin is actually in your back yard. You can use soil to make your own face mask right at home. This technique is especially great for extremely oily skin. All you have to do is gather a bowl full of dirt right out of your back yard and add water to it slowly until it becomes a thick mixture. You can then apply it to your face and anywhere else that your body produces too much oil. You should allow it to sit until it is almost completely dried. Then you can rinse it off in a shower just as you would any other facemask. Do not use the soil out of your back yard, however, if it has recently been treated with a fertilizer or week killer, as that might irritate your skin.

It will not only remove the oil from your skin, but it will also dry out the blemish, causing it heal sooner than it would have without the lemon juice. Another trick is to do the same thing with vinegar, which will result in the same thing. If you have neither or those items in your home, you can use toothpaste as well. If you use toothpaste, allow it to sit on your skin for at least 20 minutes.
If your skin gets dry from using products to stop your acne symptoms there are a few things that you can do to moisturize your skin without adding oils.

This paste will also pull out any excess oil as it dries.
