How to fight oily skin\n\nWash your face two or three times a day with a mild cleanser that does not include perfumes or additives. Keep your skin very clean, but do not scrub too hard. \n\nUse an oil-free moisturizer and cosmetics. \n\nUse a clay-based face mask two or three times a week. \n\nChoose products containing alpha-hydroxy acids, which remove dead cells and give skin a smoother appearance. \n\nMash up a small amount of papaya for your own fruit acid mask. Smear it on your skin, leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse. \n\nSteam your skin several times a week. Add chamomile, lavender oil or dried herbs such as rosemary, parsley or thyme to the water. \n\nKeep your skin hydrated by drinking at least eight glasses of water a day. \n\nReduce fats and oils in your diet. Increase your intake of fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains. \n\nWatch your sun exposure. Although the sun may seem to dry your skin, too much heat actually stimulates the production of more oil. \n\n\nSupplement your diet with B-complex vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc and vitamin E. You can also take a high-potency multivitamin.  Fish oil or flax seed oil to get your EFA's.\n\nTips & Warnings \n\nMake your own facial scrub by mixing 2 tbsp. almond meal with 1 tbsp. ground lemon rind and 1 tbsp. powdered milk. \n\nMake your own clay mask by mixing green clay powder with water or honey and applying it to your face. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse. \n\nHumidity and heat will increase oil production.

wash your face daily, when you feel like your face is oily, wash it with "dove". It worked for me but then my skin got too dry and I had to go to the dermatologist.

Pour strips! I loved them in high school.... and sensitive skin face wash, like Neutrogena Sensitive, however Biore Ice Wash is good for oily skin. Don't forget to wash your hands too! When we accidentally touch our faces we distribute bacteria onto the skin and into the pours. Also, watch your stress level. Stress is number one for breakouts, not chocolate or fatty foods. Oh, and don't forget to wash your sheets even more often, with hot water and bleach, perferrably, to keep clean skin contact at night when you've got your face on that pillow and under the sheets. Steam facials help to open up the pores so they'll expel on their own with no irritation from an attempt at popping them. Also, if you're female, Almay has the best hypo-allergenic products to keep irritation at bay. Using amore economical brand of tinted moisturizer or foundation like Wet N Wild may cause more breakouts.

If you want to keep your skin hydrated without making it oily, I would use a water based facial moisturizer.  You may also want to get one that is non-comedogenic, which means that it will not clog pores.\nHere are the steps that I would use....\n1. Cleanse face with a non-oily cleanser...this will help get rid of excess oils that are on your face.\n2.  Apply water-based moisturizer\n3.  Drink plenty of water......this helps keep your skin hydrated.

tea tree oil shampoo works well, and try brushing through a little talcum powder in between washes to absorb excess oil. Hope this helps :)

Exfoliate and apply moisturiser, preferably with a sunscreen.  Also, drink the daily recommended amount of water.

Reduce the amount of oily foods you eat.\nCleanse your face at least twice daily.\nUse a mild astringent <I like to mix mentholated rubbing alcohol with witch hazel in equal parts> after each cleansing.\nMoisturize after doing the above.  <I like Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hair and body moisturizer>  The tea tree oil helps control any infections that might get into the pores.\nIf that doesn't work, try proactive.  i hear it does wonders on really bad skin.

Oily skin and acne is a potential side effect.

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.

Depends on what's causing it.  You might try topical and oral evening primrose oil.  EPO is rich in the essential fatty acids that your skin needs for proper health.  And, obviously, avoid things that further irritate your skin.  \n\nYou might also check into an anti-inflammatory diet.

Sometimes when we try to prevent or cure a problem,we can cause the problem to be worse.\nMaybe you don't have oily skin and your skin is only trying to lubricate it'self because of too much washing and thereby drying your skin out and your body is trying to compensate.(A little OCD maybe?)\nTry some Ivory Soap,Oatmeal Soap or Basis Soap.\nBe sure to give it some time to kick in before giving up.\nDO NOT use deordorant soaps as they only cause more drying and you body will respond as such.\nDiet change might help too and check your vitamin intake,you might be lacking something.\nSee a Dermatologist.

Use a face mask a couple of times a week and use a skin toner after you wash your face.  If you are on a budget just buy witch hazel as it is the main ingredient in most toners.\n\nIn reality we all have pores, skin must breathe.  If we could only Adobe reality.
