Apply fresh aloe vera gel to your skin. It helps to soothe and hydrate while controlling oil production.
2. Lemon Juice
Mix equal parts lemon juice and water. Apply to your face with a cotton ball, leave it on for 10-15 minutes, and rinse. Lemon has astringent properties that can help reduce oiliness.
3. Honey and Cinnamon Mask
Mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Apply to your face, leave it on for 10-15 minutes, and rinse. Honey has antibacterial properties and helps control oil.
4. Oatmeal Scrub
