-
Step 1
Wash 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.
-
Step 2
Use an oil-free moisturizer and cosmetics.
-
Step 3
Use a clay-based face mask two or three times a week.
-
Step 4
Choose products containing alpha-hydroxy acids, which remove dead cells and give skin a smoother appearance.
-
Step 5
Mash 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.
-
Step 6
Steam your skin several times a week. Add chamomile, lavender oil or dried herbs such as rosemary, parsley or thyme to the water.
-
Step 7
Keep your skin hydrated by drinking at least eight glasses of water a day.
-
Step 8
Reduce fats and oils in your diet. Increase your intake of fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
-
Step 9
Watch your sun exposure. Although the sun may seem to dry your skin, too much heat actually stimulates the production of more oil.
-
Step 10
Supplement your diet with B-complex vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc and vitamin E. You can also take a high-potency multivitamin.

on 5/28/2009 I have really oily skin, this masked helped me a lot, you only need oatmeal and water, make a paste and heat it in the microwave for about 5 seconds, only let it warm up don't let it get hot, put it all over your face, don't cover your eyes, and let it dry. Once you took it off, splash lukewarm water on your face, use once a week, it can overdry your skin. :)

on 3/29/2008 I have an oily face before but after using my urine to wash my face, this oil started to disappear. You may laugh at me but seriously speaking, I tried it and it really works. My grandmother told me this secret and i want to share it with you. For best result you may mix it with your saliva to cure acne. This saliva contains some enzymes which may help in killing some bacterias that causes acne.

on 9/30/2007 If your foundation keeps melting because of the oil on your face, put a bit of calamine lotion on a cotton ball and wipe it over your face after washing and moisturisng but before you put your foundation on. Make sure you don't use too much or you'll look like a ghost.
If you don't wear foundation then this isn't really useful, but my foundation kept melting on my nose and this really worked for me. I think it makes a barrier that absorbs the oil. It lasts all day and worked much better than other oil-stopping gels that I'd tried before, like the Clinique one.
