Wash your face with gram flour (besan): Gram flour is a traditional remedy known for absorbing excess oil without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Mix two tablespoons of besan with a little rose water or plain water to make a smooth paste. Apply it to your face, leave it on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

Use multani mitti once or twice a week: Multani mitti (Fuller's earth) helps absorb excess oil and deep cleans the pores. Mix it with rose water or cucumber juice to make a face pack. Apply evenly, let it dry partially and rinse off before it becomes completely hard to avoid excessive dryness.
