Herbal face masks for oily skin

Dealing with Persistent Shine and Breakouts

If you’re tired of midday grease and those stubborn breakouts, you’re not alone. About 40% of adults still battle oily skin past their teens. This happens because your sebaceous glands go into overdrive, pumping out more oil than you need—especially in humid weather or when stress hits hard.

Excess oil traps dirt and bacteria, leading to clogged pores and unwanted pimples. It’s frustrating when your skin looks shiny just hours after washing.

Why Herbal Face Masks Actually Help

Herbal masks work differently than harsh chemical treatments. They use plant-based ingredients like neem, tulsi, and clay to soak up oil, soothe irritation, and keep pores clearer. Unlike strong astringents that can strip your skin and trigger even more oil production, herbal blends help restore balance naturally.

• Neem and Tulsi: These have antibacterial properties to help with breakouts.
• Fuller's Earth (Multani Mitti): Absorbs oil gently.
• Green Tea: Calms redness and controls sebum.
• Tea Tree Oil: Fights bacteria but won’t dry you out.

The 3 Features That Matter Most

Ingredient List Matters More Than the Label

Don’t just trust the “herbal” tag. Flip the jar and look for actual plant extracts high on the list. Avoid added mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, or parabens—they can irritate oily skin and worsen breakouts.

Texture: Clay-Based Beats Creamy

Clay-based masks (like bentonite or Multani Mitti) draw out excess oil and feel lighter. Creamy masks often leave a residue that can clog pores.

Frequency: Once or Twice a Week Is Enough

Overusing masks can strip your skin. Stick to 1–2 times per week for results without irritation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid With Herbal Masks

• Leaving the mask on too long—this dries out skin and triggers more oil.
• Using hot water to rinse—can aggravate redness and sensitivity.
• Skipping moisturizer—oily skin still needs hydration, especially after masking.
• Layering with strong acids or retinoids right after—can cause peeling and discomfort.
