I have oily skin too so I know it can be a pain (especially in summer). Here are some causes of oily skin and also my personal regimen for getting rid of oil. Hope it helps. Good luck. =)
Several things can cause oily skin: heredity, diet, hormonal levels, pregnancy, humidity, hot weather, and in women; cosmetics and birth control pills.
On the plus side, your skin will age slower =) but on the negative side, oily skin promotes enlarged and clogged pores, black heads and sometimes acne.
To cleanse your oily skin, use oil-based cleansers because they dissolve oil (an example would be: Forever Young, Emollient Facial Cleanser; you can find it here: http://www.opcforyourhealth.com/fy_cleanser.htm ) and hot water (this also helps to dissolve oil).
For moisturizing (which you still need to do….unless you want more wrinkles when you get older), use oil-free moisturizers (an example would be: Physicians Formula, Oil Control, Oil Free Moisturizer; You can find it here: http://www.ulta.com/control/product/~product_id=5041227 ). This will help to maintain a shine-free complexion.
Another good way of absorbing oils is clay or mud masks. If you have sensitive skin, look for white or rose colored clays. Once or twice a week you should use a clarifying mask to remove build up.

As you get older your skin will lose some of its oil base, but in the meantime remember to keep it clean and no picking and poking at it with your hands. People with oily skin tend to have large pores, buy products that will minimize the look of large pores.
Another thing, be happy that you have oily skin (wrinkles don't show up until your middle 50's) because when you do get a little older you will have beautiful glowing normal skin and most other people will have jerky looking skin with lots of wrinkles.

I also have super oily skin, so I use my normal Nutrogena face wash that does not over-dry, then I use a light moisturizer (oil-free) and oil-free make-up. Have you ever tried an oil mattifier? It's a fantastic product, goes right on under your make-up and keeps oil to a minimum. Mary Kay makes one and it's great.

They have these facial cloths at wal-mart for oily skin and noxzema deep cleansing cream. I use the cloths once a day and the noxzema about 3 times a week. It really helped me.

Ive never done it -- but on one of those Hollywood type secrets of the stars they said that for oily hair and skin --- to smash aspirin and mix with a dryer soap - or shampoo
