Answer 1

take a vaccuum to your face

Answer 2

Exceedingly oily skin is usually a reaction to over-drying your skin by using harsh soaps, scrubbing too much, and not using a moisturizer after cleansing. You can usually correct excessive oiliness naturally by:

1. Exfoliating every day with a gentle cleanser (try a little moisturizer mixed with sugar into a scrub).
2. Once a week, crush papaya and use like a mask. Leave on for 10 minutes, then scrub off with a combination of crushed papaya and oatmeal. Rinse well, then paint on a thin layer of honey. Allow to sit for 10 mintues then rinse well with warm water.
3. Use a good moisturizer. St. Ives Collagen and Elastin is a really good all purpose moisturizer.
4. Take a multivitamin and drink a lot of water every day to help balance your skin from the inside.

Answer 3

We do need to wash our face very well w/a gentle type soap-dove,ivory, caress or oil of olay. For about .75 cents a bottle of witch hazel can fix oiliness, is very good & serves as a toner (is what does balance the face w/oils or dryness,acne,etc).

If you look on bottles/jars of different cleaners, toners & creams you'll see witch hazel as an ingredient.
For a cheap home remedy, use witch hazel each morning after cleaning your face & before applying make-up and after removing / cleaning off make-up at night,apply again.

Answer 5

old fashion remedies are put u towel over your head and stand over a steaming pot of water.The steam will clean out your pores and take out all of the unhealthy oils and dirt that are clogged in your skin. After steaming your face you should try putting natural body oil from Bath and body works or some place like that, the natural oil will help your face from drying out after steaming.
