How To Control Excess Oil and Acne – Normal skin is a boon that all of us would want to ask for a life time. But this never comes true for most of us. Our skin always needs us to work towards attaining normal skin. One such attempt is to control the excess oil and acnes on our skin.
This DIY recipe to control the excess oil and acnes on the skin involves preparing the concentrated decoction of fresh neem leaves.
Neem as you all know is the perfect solution for troubled skin. Every brand that provides skin care products definitely gives a range that is made of Neem as its key ingredient.
Gram Flour another ingredient that is involved in today’s DIY recipe. Gram flour is a very good absorbent; and thus suitable for oily skin. Gram flour when used on normal skin constantly, it has the capacity to turn the skin dry. Likewise, if used on oily skin, obviously gram flour will help in turning to normal.
Procedure to prepare Neem Decoction & Gram Flour Face pack:
- Clean the fresh cut neem leaves under clean running water.
- To a stainless steel vessel one glass of water. To this add the neem leaves (about 8 to 10 leaves)
- Heat the water and the leaves. Once the water attains boiling state, lower the flame and continue on flame until the water quantity reduces to half the original quantity.
- Once done, shut the vessel with a plate and allow it to cool. After cooling, separate the leaves from the decoction.
- Now use the neem decoction as and when needed. You can store this in your refrigerator for later use too.
And for now, take 3 spoons of neem decoction and mix enough gram flour to form a paste. The paste should be in the consistency of a face pack; your preference; how thick or thin. 
I prefer thin consistency face pack for it dries very soon. 🙂
The Neem Decoction face pack with Gram Flour is ready for use.
I hope this will help your skin.
