Step 1: The signs of oily skin

You may have oily skin if you press a tissue onto the skin and you can see oil, you have a shiny face that needs blotting, or you have open pores and blackheads.

Step 2: Cleansing

This will help stop spots and blackheads. Avoid alcohol based cleansers which strip skin and encourage more oil production. Use a face wash or oil-based cleanser. Don't be afraid of using an oil based product – oil and water don't mix, so oil cleansers are more effective at getting into pores and lifting excess oil out. Cleanse the skin morning and evening.

Step 3: Moisturising

Don't be afraid to moisturise – oily skin still needs to be hydrated and protected from the sun, so use a lightweight, oil free moisturiser, with SPF 15. Apply twice daily after cleansing.

Step 4: Exfoliating

Tougher oily skins can be exfoliated 3 times a week. Use a granular exfoliator, and focus on oily, congested areas such as the chin, nose and T-zone areas.

Step 5: Hydrating

Drink plenty of water as oily skin may also be dehydrated - the oiliness of the skin will hide the lack of moisture. Try to drink 2 litres of water a day.

    I started using sheer bliss by mama nature about three months ago when my face was greasy beyond belief. I used to wipe tissue on my T zone and it looked like grease proof paper afterwards. Well this cream, which is natural and has no chemicals or mineral oils has made that much of a difference that when I do the 'tissue test' nothing and I mean nothing goes on the tissue. I will definitley be sticking with this for the time being and would not go near another cream again.

    I too have oily skin but I pretty well manage with it by following some simple ground rules. You too try them out and I am sure it would prove of great help to you. 1. Wash your face with hot, soapy water and a drying soap. That will help you get rid of your oily skin. 2. Use oil-free skin care products to reduce the oil in your hygiene regimen. 3. Choose oil-free make-up to prevent oily skin. 4. Added stress can cause oily skin. So relax yourself once in a while. Prom Dresses

    I have been using a prototype Facial Secret unit for a little over a month. Using this unit has changed my life. I have been using it a little over a month. My skin tone is clearer now. Typically every summer during band camp my skin becomes blotchy, but this year it did not. My skin tone remained clear even though I had gotten a tan. I've found that my skin does not get oily and I do not have acne outbreaks. Also I have been getting so many great comments about my skin complexion. I have had dramatic improvements in the appearance of the crow’s-feet on the outside areas of my eyes and in my overall skin tone. Facial Secret has been a great tool to reduce the effects of too much time in the sun and wind. I have not suffered from the effects of sunburn since I started using this product...

    Also use a toner when you have oily skin because it keeps the ph level of oils etc to a certain level always. A clay mask is brilliant for over nite as it absorbs oils and purifys face.

    Anil123: it is the cleansers you are using are more than likely stripping th eoils form your skin, thus creatign an over compensation reaction. See the body needs a certain amount of oil on it. The idea is to clean not strip oils. Best to buy either professional cleaners from salon or oganic ones from health food store. And scrub 2-3 times a wk. May i suggest ''Dermalogica's special cleansing gel'' for oily skin. It cleared my acne up years ago.

    The good thing about oily skin, is that they are less likely to get wrinkle up as with dry skins.

    i put sudocrem on the t-zone (forehead, nose, chin-generally the oiliest part of the face) before i go to bed at it works wonders on spots and blemishes.
