try some oil free pressed powder to control oil it will stop the shine as well make sure its non-comedogenic so it will not clog the pores,good choices include almay,clinique,or bare minerals.

Having oily skin is really a blessing when it comes to aging and wrinkles. You may not be happy now but down the road you will not have a lot of surface or deep wrinkles (unless you smoke or get too much sun) but still it will be minimized by the natural oils in your skin. I don't know where you live, but humidity is a big factor. I live in FL and I get so oily in this humidity. Seems people out west tend to look a little dried out sometimes. Get a good oil free foundation and oil-free powder and they have these little "oil-blotter" tissues that you can carry in your purse and they work very well--probably find them just about any drugstore.

Maybe you should get hormone depressants because shiny foreheads may be the effect of outraging hormones that create too much facial oils. But, try that only if you have no other alternatives, ask a doctor or someone in a pharmacy. Or constantly wipe it with oil-drying wipes, the blue one, in pharmacies, of course.

I have very oily skin and must use TP to blot my face every time I go to the loo. This helps, but I also use B5 (pantothenic acid) to reduce oil production. You have to take 15 tablets a day though for it to work. Don't get scammed and buy those products online that tell you to take 15 of their caps a day; it's just B5, so you can buy it online at GNC.com or other vitamin place for half the price.

Well I use Dove cleansing pads and that was suggested by my DR. I would get some pressed powder and just keep it in your purse of pocket and check it every couple of hours. That should help you just make sure you wash your face good at night that will remove the old make up. Good Luck people can be so mean sometimes.

Thats my problem too and the best that really worked for me is from AVON: "TRUE PORE FECTION POWDER" it is great because it works even in very hot weather like ll2 or ll4. I use it all the year and obviously in winter it works for l2 hrs or more and in summer outdors it does not matter that I sweat rivers my nose and forhead do not shine and it is gentle with the eyes area not making your skin looks wrinkled which other powders do.

Carry around a tube of clearasil's blemish cream. Dot it on through out the day.
I know you hate it, but OILY SKIN IS GOOD, IT AGES MUCH MORE SLOWER, than non-oily skin. So love your skin, just dot the cream on when your shiny features are not desired. :)

facial blotting papers--you can get them at most stores like walgreens and also clean and clear make some--oil blotting papers are the best for touch ups during the day!! try them they really make a difference.

oil free powder, u might want to check on your diet, some foods do increase the oil content.

there are these little clothes that you can buy at walmart. you can put them in your purse or pencil bag at school. when your face gets oily you just take one out and blott your face or forehead with it. hope this helps.
