Any way to stop oily face?

My face is of the oily type. After an hour of washing my face I can see the oil on my face already, especially the T zone. Its quite embarassing and causes pimples. Any way to stop the face from being so oily
-
apply some anti acne powder and benzol peroxide...
wash at least 3 times a day.... There are creams to neutralise your oil... but there is not perm way of stopping it oily... A strict regeme of benzol peroxide will helps prevent pimples... -

They only cause pimples if your dirty fingers touch them.

Not quite true.... Pimples are caused by acne bacteria... which is often caused when the oil in your skin unable to be release... it traps the acne bacteria... which everyone has... Benyzol peroxide helps to kill that bacteria to prevent inflamation.... It is a myth that food causes acne... but although it looks to have some truth in it... it still wasn't scientifically proven yet.

ironically over washing of face causes it to be even more oily.....wash face twice aday with sebum controlling/ deep cleansing facial wash.
i personally recommend you Eucerin sebum-control cleanser. -
use mild facial cleanser and not those hardcore strong types. you face certainly is not suitable for those with added fragrance and mints.
use the cleanser sparingly with water and lather into foam before applying onto your face, best is you 'steamed' your face with warm water prior to applying facial wash. rub gently in an outward circular motion and use warm water to rinse the foam off. dont ever try to scrub and irritate your skin with your fingernails. dab dry with a clean towel.
i dont suggest your use oil blotters because the blotter will cause over drying of your skin and if you blot wrongly will cause blocked pores. -
Remember to use a water based moisturiser as well. Ironically if your skin is dry it will produce more oil too.

Apply clay mask - helps absorb the oil!

Contrary to the advice about using moisturizer, I would say that oily skin does not need moisturizer, at least not in humid Singapore. But it is important to use a good oil free sun block, like Clinique Supercity Sunblock SPF 40. It is fragrance free so it will not cause any further irritations. Also as suggested by another forumite, use fragrance free and alcohol free cleanser. Oil skin is usually very sensitive.

Hmm, I tried Vichy Normaderm moisturizer.. it tends to dry out normal skin, but seems to work wonders on oily skin by reducing sebum output thruout the day.. No SPF though so u gotta keep away from sun, and too drying to be used as a night moisturizer =\

Half an hour before taking your bath apply on your face half teaspoon each of lime and cucumber juice mixed together.
If your skin is excessively oily, mix in a few drops of eau de cologne. This not only helps keep oiliness away but also helps in refining the pores of the skin by acting as astringent, thereby preventing acne.
To prevent the problem of your makeup becoming patchy either on the forehead, chin or nose due to excessive oiliness in these areas, apply a little cucumber juice on the excessively oily parts of your face, dry thoroughly and then apply your makeup.
If your whole face turns patchy after makeup is applied on it, then apply equal parts of lime juice and witch-hazel. Dry well before putting on your makeup.
Choose an astringent that contains acetone, which is known for dissolving oil. Strong astringents will do more harm than good, stimulating an overproduction of oil. " -
From personal experience with oily-combo skin, I think moisturiser does help. The acne products and over-washing makes your skin tight and uncomfortable; oil glands goes into overdrive on dehydrated skin. The important thing is to get the right product, something light and water-based. & you don't have to use everyday, can apply every other day, it will make a difference.

I'm using this LA ROCHE-POSAY renewal fluid for oily skin and seen some improvement after using for 2 months occasionally.
