Here are some Ayurvedic tips for those with oily skin
Sandalwood Powder
Add a few drops of water to half a tablespoon of the powder. Apply the paste all over the face, neck and wash off after 10 minutes. This reduces wrinkles and fine lines while fighting acne and oily skin.
Lemon juice, wheat flour, turmeric powder

Milk
Milk is an excellent oil free cleanser and it doesn't dry out the skin. Wash your face with milk so that the pores are not clogged with sebum/oil.
Honey
Not only dry skin but oily skin too, need moisturising. Honey is an excellent natural moisturiser. Apply a thin layer of honey all over the face and wash off after 15 minutes.
Multani mitti
