You should try not to wash your face that many times. I still think that you will need a more cleansing diet like drinking lots of water with vegetables and fiber and less red meats. You may even wish to consider detox cleansing as a solution. Here is a site that I often refer to on detox cleansing http://www.detox-cleansing.com

First of all, don't wash your face more than a couple times a day. Constantly stripping all the surface oils from your skin will stimulate it to produce more oil. Avoid glycerin soaps, deoderant soaps or any soaps that leave a film on your skin.
I've noticed my skin gets much oilier when I eat foods with higher fat contents. Try really watching your fat intake, get the nutritional tables for your size and weight and really pay attention to how much fat you are eating.
Drink lots of water.
Clay masks (Queen Helene makes a couple inexpensive ones) draw oil from the surface of your skin and temporarily reduce the oilyness.
When you get older you'll thank your stars for oily skin because you will look so much younger than everyone else your age.
Best wishes!.

Wash your face with water only, and once a week use a soap. Make a yeast mask (mix yeast with water into a paste), put it on your face once a week for 15 minutes. Drink a lot of water.
The good side of the oily skin is that your skin doesn't age as quickly as for someone with normal or dry skin.

Hello, the worst thing you can do is wash your face too much, this creates a drying affect on your face, therefore you produce more oil. I would suggest considering reviewing your diet, pleanty of fruit and vegetables, increase your fluid intake ( thats water not alcohol) to 2 or more litres a day. Sounds like you try to look after yourself, I know zinc supplments can help too. Definantly not a normal cause of being healthy.

oily skin is not bad at alll..
you have glands that are open and make your face oily
you should be lucky you wash your face all the time and your healthy
because having oily faces usually causes acne because of the open pores that are vulnerable to bacteria
the best thing to do is see a doctor and see if he or she has pills (birth control may help) or natural tropical pills to help.. or even cremes and overnight lotion
a simple way of keeping the face oil-free is a good clenser
try cliniques cleander for oily skin
it wont hurt to try diffferent solutions to see which one helps

You could try tetracyclin. It's an antibiotic that will almost always clear up acne. Only a doctor can prescribe it but I know it works well.
