As oily skin often has large visible pores, acnes tend to appear more in oily skin. Therefore, you should take proper care to keep pimples away from the eye areas. Also, despite of the greasy and unclean look of oily skin, excess oil helps with aging as oily skin is less likely to appear wrinkles than dry skin or normal skin. However, getting rid of oily skin around the eye gives you a healthy and clean face.

- Pour the commercial astringent used for oily skin onto a cotton ball (the astringent will remove excess oil on your skin). Rub the cotton ball over your face, especially the areas around the eyes.

Warnings
Do not apply moisturizer as the oil helps keep the moisture in the skin.
