Use a good cleanser, toner and moisturiser. Dermalogica is a good product. Exfoliate once a week. Use oil free products. Avoid using harsh soaps as it only strips your skin and then your skin reacts by producing more oil. The good thing up side about having oily skin is that you don't age as quickly as people with dry skins.

Try using a foaming cleanser on your entire face (morning and night), then to clean the oily bits on your forehead and nose, use an exfolient scrub (grainy one) - but only 3 times a week...try to avoid really strong and harsh products on these area's as they can over stimulate the oil glands and make the problem worse! Use a light moisturiser on your entire face, but go easy on your problem area's...hope this helps!

well i used proactiv and after 2 days all of my pimples were gone... well sleeping more could actually help your oily face...\none of my friend use tomato for her face and it works big time cause her face doesnt look or feel like sand paper anymore...\na facial from time to time could also work...\ncetaphyl is a cheap but good facial cleanser\npeanut is also not good...

try a toner or bleaching creme, or coco butter ( the latter takes longer to work) but first I would consult a dermatologist

I had really bad skin when I was growing up. My face would be covered in blackheads and I have really big pores so I was always squeezing the heck out of my face and that was just making them worse because like you said they would all be back the next day. So my suggestion to you would be to steam your face every night before you go to bed to open up all of the pores and while your face is still warm you need to get a cucumber face mask and put it on your face for about 20 minutes. After you peel it off put Vaseline on your face and leave it on overnight. I don't know why but for some reason this keeps your pores clean. Hope that this helps you out\nCheers

Well oily skin is actually not that bad and will be less prone to fine lines and wrinkles.  But to keep it under control...\n\n1. Wash your face once a day (washing your face more than once a day is not recommended by dermatologists or cosmetologists).  I use "Anti Bac Skin Wash" by Dermalogica.  It's a bit expensive but the bottle will last a very long time, and I really enjoy the product.\n\n2. Follow with a moisurizer that is oil-free and will help mattify, I use "Pure Focus Gel Cream" by Lancome.  They also have a lotion version of this product that (is less expensive) and lighter for the hot summer months ahead.\n\nOrigins has a less expensive version called "Balanced Diet."\n\nYou can always browse your local drug store for similar, less expensive products.  Just look for "oil free" "non-comedogenic" (com-EEDAH-jenik)and "mattifying" on the label.\n\nGood luck!\n\n\nP.S.: your diet has nothing to do with it - eating less meat will not reduce the amount of sebum (oil) your body produces.  Your body has a natural rhythm and tendencies, the only way to STOP oil production is to take a medication such a Accutane.  This will dry up your body's oil production glands (it's a medication for severe acne).\n\nFurther, do NOT NOT NOT use a body cleansing bar on your face.  The skin on your face is much different than that on your body and body wash could irritate the crap out of your face!  Some people can get away w/ it but for the rest of us...trust me, it's not all just a marketing ploy!

use a face cloth to wash your face, use a oil free acne cream daily and it should help, give it time

leave your skin the way it is.\n\nabout oily face, know that special food diets for reducing oily skin problems (usually by cutting out fried and fatty foods) are pure fantasy and wasted effort.\n\nusually, clay masks or mud masks are good for that problem. u can also get drying soaps for your face. but really, there is no magic cure for oily skin. experts call for keeping it clean, and keeping at it clean all the time.\n\nif that makes you feel better, remember that oily skin tends to age better and wrinkle less than dry or normal skin: today's curse, tomorrow's blessing.

I remove mine everynight!!! If you dont, I heard it ages your face like 3 days!!! I just feel nasty when I havent washed my face before bed. I even go back with alcohol and a cotton ball to make sure I get way into the pores, but dont do that if your skin is dry, mine is very oily.

it all may depend on your genetics, did your mother have oily skin too? Most people believe that its caused by stress, makeup and cause oily skin too, depending on the brand. A good way to help this is by using rubbing alcohal in the morning or night before you go to bed.

Wash face at least twice a day. Immediately apply moisturizer. Do NOT use cosmetics to "cover" the acne.

Try dabbing a little tooth paste on it before you go to bed. Let it stay on over night and wash your face like normal in the morning. Keep doing this until it's gone.

Wash with a soapless cleanser like Cetaphil. The Jurlique range of face care products are also very good, and so are their moisturisers. Not sure about rubbing oil onto the face!\nIf you have a skin condition such as eczema, you may also be seeing the effects of this. You may benefit from some specialist skin care advice. I'd try to avoid chemicals as much as possible by eating healthily and organic food as much as possible, lots of veg and fresh fruit, less meat, less alcohol, no smoking. Hope that helps.
