There are a few things you should be doing:
Make sure that the products you are using on your skin are pH correct, which is so important to your skin. Our skin is natural pH is about a 7.0 on the pH scale from 1-14. Most bar soaps or anti-bacterial soaps have a higher pH, which helps them to foam and gives you that squeaky clean feeling. People with oily skin especially like this feeling as it dries up and removes a lot of the oil . The problem is, by removing so much of the oil from the surface of the skin, the oil glands get a message to produce more oil and it becomes a viscous cycle of over drying the skin with high pH cleansers and the skin trying to defend itself by producing too much oil. In people with dry skin which does not produce enough oil of its own, using a high pH cleanser such as soap only further drie out the skin. The oil on the skin is there to protect the skin from the environment and helps to combat aging. By using a pH correct product such as Arbonne, you will not sending your skin to extremes but instead are keep it well balanced helping your oil production in the long run...
Arbonne makes a product called " Arbonne INtelligence Personalizer"- this is a powder that is applied to absorbs the oil before moisturizing or applying make-up. It not only absorbs the oil, but is has a gree tint to it, thus it ensures that your foundation stays true to it's color... It costs $33.25 CAD
The skin care line that I would recommend would be the : " Intelligence not so basic skin care" if you are under 35.
both can be purchased here:http://tryitandloveit.myarbonne.com
Three key elements to help your skin look its best:
·Avoid the damaging sun: with 90% of aging caused by environmental damage and sun exposure, ensure that you wear a product that contains a broad spectrum sun block , and use it every day. Harmful sun rays penetrate clouds…so sun block is needed on cloudy days as well. Arbonne uses the latest in sunscreen technology in their day creams to ensure that you are protected from both the UVB and UVA rays.
·Practice good skin care: Using skin care products incorrectly can cause problems later in life. Learn how to remove make-up, and apply sun screen to let skin breath. Follow up with exfoliation to encourage skin cell turnover, and finish with a light moisturizer to protect the skin’s water barrier.
·Don’t mix brands: With hundreds of skin care products launched each year, it’s no wonder that many of us try the latest products…however that can lead to skin irritation and the development of sensitive skin. Skin care products need time to work, and as your body becomes accustomed to the formulas …you will see benefit. Each brand develops products to work together for best results. Pick a brand and stick with it.
Eating right to keep your skin soft, glowing and strong at any age:
·Orange/red fruits and vegetables: can include tomatoes, squash and carrots- these are packed with beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant that is essential for healthy skin, scalp and mucous membranes.
·Shellfish and fish: try salmon, crab, shrimp and lobster- contain astaxanthin, an extremely potent antioxidant that protects your skin from the damaging environment, helps prevent age spots and wrinkling.
·Nuts and seeds- these are rich in vitamin E which helps protect the skin from sun damage
·Citrus fruits- such as oranges, grapefruits, are high in Vitamin C. It is essential to collagen production, and it is the collagen that gives connective tissue strength and resilience.
·Unrefined whole grain- these could be wheat, barley , oats and rye- all contain silica, a mineral that helps to repair damaged skin , hair and nails. Silica helps to strengthen collagen and elastin.

I do not know what your lfestyle is, or even what your diet is like. However, I do recommend cutting back on fats and high-fat foods (ie red meat and such). If you are not comfortable with this, then just be happy in the skin that you have. . . Oily skin is a true blessing because that means that you will have less wrinkles in the long run!

follow these Steps
1)Wash your face twice a day to remove excess oil so it does not clog your pores.
2)Read product packaging and ingredients list and choose only water-based, non-comedogenic cosmetics if you are prone to oily skin.
3)Watch to see whether your diet corresponds to an increase in oily skin problems. If so, adjust your diet accordingly.
Avoid oily, greasy foods and heated fats which aggravate oily skin conditions
4)Get plenty of physical exercise, practice relaxation or meditation techniques, or find other ways to deal with stress.
5)Use a deep cleaning facial mask as needed to remove excess oil from skin
6)Treat the acne with over-the-counter acne medication if your attempts to control or prevent outbreaks are not successful.

Do you mean during the day your face gets oily? You probably have oily or oily/combination skin type.
Make sure you cleanse, tone and moisturise daily.
Try Liz Earle products fantastic.

I hate nothing more than when my oil gets all oily. Pick up some "oil oily no more" spray at walmart. Works like a charm.
