This is a big inconvenience for me since I swim many times during the week. It usually stays oily for about a week and it drives me CRAZY.

it's because you spend so much time in the water...you body is over compensating. chlorine also dries out your skin.
try putting something like Vaseline on your face before you go in the pool, then you won't lose the natural oils your body makes, and it won't have to over compensate when you're out of the water.

You should get a good moisturizer like oil of olay or something similar. The chlorine is most likely drying out your face causing it to over produce oil. A good moisturizer will prevent that from happening, after every practice wash your face with a mild soap and put on your moisturizer.

Use a facial soap for oily skin and products to control facial oil, that should work

Use products that are suitable for oily skins, and instead of using creams use lotions suitable for oily skins.

Use rubbing alcohol, on a cotton ball and gently blot the oily areas.

Try using witch hazel on your face. It cuts down oiliness.

ok... first of all make sure your face is hydrated... use lotion... your face may be oliy because your skin is dry so your face is putting out more oil to keep it hydrated! and also dont touch your face so much! good luck!

It is probably one of the chemicals in the pool.
