Hi lybrate-user, excess oil is due to sebum secretion from the sebaceous glands in the skin, it can be due to genetics, dietary changes, or hormonal changes during puberty as in your case. Hydrate yourself. Drink atleast 4-5 litres of water per day. Try to maintain skin hygeine, else you can face problems of acne in the future. As for natural remedy you an try following: apply tomato juice on your face, keep it for 15 minutes then rinse with water, tomato is rich in vit-c & has astringent properties. You can also apply cucumber juice overnight. If still the problem persist, visit a doctor in person & get your skin analysed, doctor will be able to prescribe you medication as per your skin condition.
