1. Yoghurt
Yogurt is excellent when you have oily to combination skin. Just 2 teaspoon can be massaged daily at the end of the day and washed off. This will clean as well as prevent your skin from damage
2. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are one of my favourites when it comes to using natural ingredients for skincare. There's nothing quite as simple and incredible as rubbing cold tomato halves onto the skin. Not only do they clean your skin but also help tackle open pores, making the skin look supple and tightened.
Fuller's Earth or Multani Mitti
If you have an oily skin, you can very easily clean your skin with a paste made of fuller's earth, which is a natural clay that has been used since time immemorial to cleanse and clarify the skin. Ayurveda also emphasizes on the benefits of fuller's earth for skincare.
Take 2 teaspoon of this clay and add a pinch of powdered camphor to it and mix with water. Massage onto wet skin and wash off.
4. Papaya
If you have combination skin, I think mashed papaya mixed with oatmeal and a little milk can work wonders. Scrub the mixture all over the face and neck and wash off. This will not only cleanse the skin (papaya has powerful cleansing enzymes) but also help in reducing tan, dark patches and add natural alpha hyroxy acids to the skin
5. Strawberries
One of my all-time favourites for oily to combination skin is mashed strawberries. I have a soft corner for this fruit not only because it's delicious and you can always lick some off your face but because I associate my childhood years in England with it, where it is found in abundance. Strawberries contain natural enzymes which are extremely good for the skin.
Just mash three to four strawberries and rub into the skin and leave on for 5 minutes before washing off. Not only will it help soften the skin but also make it look brighter and give an external dose of Vitamin C.
