You could try the "beauty scout" in your profile to see what products it recommends. There are quite a few products for oily skin that I've noticed as I browse store shelves (cleanser, toner, make-up, etc.) My problem is too little oil. My nose used to have more oil than Texas, but now it feels like sandpaper! So need to use moisturizers that have some oil. Good luck.

Products that have salicylic acid will really help, and also look for cosmetics that are "mattifying" or "oil control." Those will help a lot. Use a good primer before your makeup and try blotting papers instead of powder during the day.

there is a product line that fruits and passion has for the face it is the radience line, it is very good,you could also use proactive products,as well as clean and clear to. as far as makeup the colorstay makeup by relvon is matte based and oil free, and it stays on to. also if you feel like you need an extra dabe during the day get some oil blotting papers by clean and clear. from your friendly neighborhood cosmetologist.

Wear a primer of either kaolin clay or bentonite clay (I recommend the bentonite - its more absorbent). Look for foundation ingredients that include silica, kaolin clay and/or silk powder. The 1st two are very absorbent; silk powder adjusts to what you need it to do - it will hydrate your skin where necessary, and absorb excess oils where needed. Avoid products that have magnesium myristate - it's very hydrophobic. Rice powder is another good ingredient, but since it's food grade, it can harbor bacteria. Make sure you clean your sponges/brushes frequently.

Maybelline has very good liquid foundation for that...i had tried sooo many for oil control even the high end stuff and one day i opted to see if any of the drug store ones would work and i found Maybelline does the trick. I tried their Mineral Power Liquid Foundation and Pure Makeup products and they both worked good both oil free.

I have an easy solution for you. Every morning when you wake up drink a glass of lemon water. I keep a large bottle of lemon juice in my frig and put a cap-ful in about a 12oz glass of water. Drink the whole thing and wait ATLEAST 30 minutes before eating breakfast. Now, you don't HAVE to chug it. You can drink it leisurely while you are getting ready. I know, you're probably thinking "yeah right, that sounds too simple". Beleive me, it works. It worked for me. I recently moved to the Virgin Islands. The heat and humidity made my face oily all the time! I was constantly dabbing my face with paper towels throughout the day to get rid of the shine. I started drinking the lemon water every morning, and I saw a difference the first day. I recommend trying this before spending a load of $ on products that, realistically, don't get rid of your oil. Try it, and let me know how it works for you. Good luck! :)

Use a good primer before your makeup and try blotting papers instead of powder during the day. I have super oily skin too, and it's worse in the summer. You read my mind on that one! Definately invest in a good primer and buy some blotting papers. I tend to get very oily in my t-zone and blotting papers are by far the best stuff out there.

Definitely start off with a good oil-free cleanser. Neutrogena has a great oil-free line that won't dry out your skin. And I totally agree-invest in a good oil-free toner or primer and some blotting papers for touch ups during the day-so much better than just caking on more powder. E.L.F. makes some really great ones and they're only a dollar! Just be sure to check labels-you don't want anything too harsh that's going to dry out your skin because that will actually make your skin more oily, so look for products that are safe for sensitive skin because they're generally pretty gentle. As for foundation, I skip it all together and use a tinted moisturizer. But if you're looking for more coverage, I'd go with a nice mineral foundation-again, Neutrogena makes a great one as does Maybelline.
