What can I do to help my oily acne prone skin this summer?

I have tried several different make-ups (or no make-up) lotions, astringents, creams, etc. By mid-morning my face is oily. Any suggestions?What can I do to help my oily acne prone skin this summer?
Drink plenty of water...it's great for your skin. Eat healthily...not too much chocolate lol.What can I do to help my oily acne prone skin this summer?
1) Eat healthy - lots of veggies, fruits, whole grains.


2) Drink TONS of water.


3) Follow skin-care regimen every morning and every night, without skipping. Cleanser, ALCOHOL FREE toner, moisturizer (with sunscreen for day time) and acne med. if necessary.


4) Use a clarifying clay mask twice a week.


5) Change your pillowcase more often - bacteria goes from your skin into your pillowcase, then back to your skin the next night. I use about 3 pillowcases a week.


6) Try a mineral-based makeup - I use Bare Escentuals, but if you find it costly, a lot of mass retail brands are bringing out their own versions of mineral makeup.


7) Try cutting out dairy products - a very large percentage of adults have milk allergies that show up as acne - I only learned this after cutting out milk because my husband can't digest it - my skin cleared up dramatically and quickly - then my doctor told me about the allergy. If you do cut out milk, you should see a difference in less than 3 weeks, if not, then milk is not the culprit for you.
