Step 1: Stick with the basics: The experts suggest cleansing your face two or three times daily with good old soap and water. Pack a premoistened cleansing pad if you won't be around a water basin throughout the day.
Step 2: Understand that dermatologists and aestheticians often disagree on which types of soaps or cleansers to use'but all agree that once you find a product that works well for your skin, you should continue using it.
Step3: Follow the recommendations of dermatologists and shower or bathe in tepid rather than steaming-hot water. Hot water can strip your skin of needed moisture, while cold water can shock your skin.
Step 4: Avoid using cleansers that tend to overdry skin. This paradoxically causes your skin to produce even more oil than usual.
Step 5: Use only noncomedogenic moisturizers and sunscreen products'this means they're oil-free and won't clog pores.
Step 6: Talk to your dermatologist about a class of drugs called retinoids, which reduce production in oil glands and shrink their size.
Step 7: Keep in mind that oil glands are very sensitive'stimuli such as hormones, heat and (some say) fatty food can trigger them.
Step8:Remember that your efforts to keep your oily skin clear can only go so far, as some studies indicate that oily skin is hereditary.

unfortunately, u cant go from being oily to normal. but u CAN curb it by doing simple things like away from your face, using a toner every night [clean and clear has really good ones], and a scrub weekly. the first person who answered recommended sumtn very useful--those oil blotting sheets help a LOT! cant say anything else really as i myself have oily skin but dont overwash ur face, u'll make ur skin dry and that would be worse to take care of [no offense to anyone who has dry skin!]. also bathe/shower in lukewarm water!!

Wash your face frequently with cold water and use a face pack of grated apple. You can find more cheap, effective and natural home remedies for oily skin at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/oilyskin.html .

Use lemon as an astringent after washing and rinse with cold water.
Over time this can really help in the regulation of sebum.
