Different people have different kinds of skin textures. Few are blessed with normal skin, a balanced oil and dry combination, while few skin types are oily and few dry. Acne reduction has always been a worldwide topic, not only with teens but long-time sufferers of this unfortunate human trait. However, its treatment can be arranged and thus kept at bay thanks to a few simple tricks and a will to apply them.
Dry skin texture ends up looking dull and cracked as it requires moisturization when the surrounding weather is cold or dry. At the same time, oily skin suffers the most during puberty as it traps dirt due to oil content and leads to the formation of whiteheads, pimples and blackheads, which is majorly caused due to genetics, overuse use of skincare products, seasonal changes, medications, stress and sun tanning.
Here are 5 easy and effective home remedies for oily skin:
1.Aloe Vera 
It is helpful for oily skin as it absorbs excess oil present on the surface of the skin. Aloe Vera is easy to use; just cut the sides of the Aloe Vera so that you will eliminate the thorns. And cut a slit in the middle and get the fresh gel out of it; apply the gel on the face 2-3 times a day, leave it for about 15 minutes, and then wash off with cold water. Doing this often will reduce the oil content present on top of the skin.
2.Banana and honey mask 
Banana and honey combination is a wonderful remedy for oily skin. It is simple yet effective. Banana makes the skin smooth and soft, while honey will reduce excess oil and prevent wrinkles. Just blend a banana and 1 tbsp. Of honey and apply in on the face, allow it to stay for 25 minutes, and then wash off with cold water. Pat dry and apply some moisturizer as the skin becomes oil-free after applying the mask.
3.Milk
It is an excellent remedy for sensitive, oily skin. It is a good cleansing agent and a smoothing product. A simple way to use milk takes 3 tbsp. Of milk and mix it with 2-3 drops of lavender oil. Dip the cotton balls in the mixture, gently apply it to the skin, and massage the skin for about 5 minutes, increasing blood circulation.
