Oily skin natural cures

I am 13 and have very oily skin. I have to wipe my face with Mary Kay oil-absorbing tissues many times a day. Is there anything natural that i could easily find in my home that could help with my oily skin?

Natural cares for oily skin
  • Wash your face with cold water as often as you can.
  • Apply Aloe Vera gel for 5 to 7 times daily. It refreshes and cools your skin. You can take one leaf of the Aloe Vera plant and slit it. Then with its pulpy side gently massage your face for 5 minutes and leave it for ½ an hour. Wash it with cold water and pat some rose water on your face.
  • Keep alcohol wipes for quickly touching up your face when you go outside. You can also use some rubbing alcohol or a combination of it with acetone (found in such products as Liquid Cleanser and Seba-Nil).
  • Ground some almonds and mix honey in it. Now, lightly massage this mixture onto your face with a soft muslin cloth. After 3 or 4 minutes, rinse your face with cold water.
  • Mix uncooked oatmeal with Aloe Vera and massage similarly. Leave it for 15 minutes and rinse it thoroughly. But do not try these scrubs if you are suffering from acne.
  • Make a paste of fuller's earth with water or buy a clay masque and apply all over your face. Wash your face with tap water after it dries off.
  • Do not apply any cream or moisturizer on your face at night as your skin needs to breathe. You can rub it with some ice cubes before going to sleep.
