| My skin is sort of combination but tends more to the oiler side but I find most masks for oily skin dry me out. I'm looking for a natural/organic one thats really good that you ladies have tried. Thanks! |

Try raw honey and Greek yogurt. Honey softens and hydrates without greasiness and has antibacterial properties. Yogurt exfoliates lightly without exacerbating oiliness or irritating sensitive skin.
You can use them separately or combine them in varying ratios. I like to do a 50/50 mix with a generous squirt of lemon juice (which is astringent). You can play around with the recipe to suit the current state of your skin.
I use Greek yogurt just because I have it around and it's thicker and stays on the skin more easily. If you have clay powder, you can mix a little of that in with regular yogurt to help it stick better. |

Although I appreciate the AWESOME suggestion and I will be sure to try it sometime I'm really looking for something pre-made because I'd just rather have it for the convenience...is there anything similar to this in pre-made form?

AM, have you tried Juice Beauty's Green Apple Peel? It's great for oily skin as it is not drying AT ALL! I've been using this one for at least a couple years and have never gotten tired of the lovely glow it gives me. |
