What kind of products are you using? If you're using face wash for sensitive skin or a heavy moisturizer, it could be contributing to the excess oil. Look into products that are made specifically for oily skin, and try astringent - it shrinks up your pores so your skin doesn't pump out as much oil. If that doesn't do the trick, I'd suggest you see a dermatologist. It may not be as cheap as an over-the-counter solution, but the results will be worth it.

One of my best friends has oily skin but she really keeps it under control by using blotting sheets. They're really inexpensive and really handy. Along with your usual skincare, (i would suggest using proactiv) blot your face with the sheets whenever you need it.





Powder helps too!





here's what the blotting sheets/shine eraser are. on eyeslipsface.com they're only a dollar but you have to pay a good bit for shipping. i would suggest looking for them in stores but here's the link:

An oily skin , as the name implies, is one in which the sebaceous or oil-producing glands are over active. As surface grease tends to attract dirt, an oily skin acquires a dirty surface film , that needs to be removed daily. For more details on oily skin log on to http://useinfo-oilyskin.blogspot.com/



Well I have pretty oily skin and always have. I wash my face in the morning with Vivant BP cleanser and then put on the Vivant mandelic acid toner on. And I do the same at night before I go to bed. That stuff works really good! I got it from my skin doctor. Its pretty pricey so I got on ebay and get it brand new for about $10 cheaper. I swear by that stuff much better then that proactiv crap or anything else you see on tv. Then during the day I will just powder and blotting papers if its hot outside.





Best of luck!
