I used to have lots of pimples and oil face when I was a teenager. As time passed on it all vanished and the oil in my face reduced. What I did was drank lot of water expecially water at different temperature like hot water and cold water. I also used to wash my face a lot with water. Red sandlewood paste is good for the face. I used to put it in my face before I got sleep and I used to put a towel on my pillow so as it does not get into the pillow. I think red sandlewood paste might have helped a lot to reduce the pimples in my face. I also used to take lots of fruits including watermelon to help reduce the waste materials in the skin.

i also have the same problem before and i also used face powder all the time. and i also have blotting papers with me to wipe off the oiliness in my face. i just cleanse,tone and moisturize everyday. and not to forget the sunblock. maybe you can try products that suits your skin type.

My have mixing skin.
In summer, I felt my face covered with a oil, It made me so sick. Sometime the water of comfortable skin is not useful.
I have no idea to deal with it.
Just wash you face for several times.

Hello there. I've got a few steps here to help with your oily skin. I hope this will work well on you!


Step1
Stick with the basics: The experts suggest cleansing your face two or three times daily with good old soap and water. Pack a premoistened cleansing pad if you won't be around a water basin throughout the day.
Step2
Understand that dermatologists and aestheticians often disagree on which types of soaps or cleansers to use'but all agree that once you find a product that works well for your skin, you should continue using it.
Step3
Follow the recommendations of dermatologists and shower or bathe in tepid rather than steaming-hot water. Hot water can strip your skin of needed moisture, while cold water can shock your skin.
Step4
Avoid using cleansers that tend to overdry skin. This paradoxically causes your skin to produce even more oil than usual.
Step5
Use only noncomedogenic moisturizers and sunscreen products'this means they're oil-free and won't clog pores.
Step6
Talk to your dermatologist about a class of drugs called retinoids, which reduce production in oil glands and shrink their size.
Step7
Keep in mind that oil glands are very sensitive'stimuli such as hormones, heat and (some say) fatty food can trigger them.
Step8
Remember that your efforts to keep your oily skin clear can only go so far, as some studies indicate that oily skin is hereditary.

Good luck!
