men's skin is usually oilier than women's because the pores are larger and they have more active sebaceous glands.
**you should be using products that have salicylic acid (or beta hydroxy acid). salicylic acid helps in the exfoliation process and helps remove oils present on the skin. if you over-use though it can cause your skin to dry out. **you should be using a cleanser, astringent (for oily skin but make sure it's not alcohol based or you can dry your skin out) and moisturizer on your skin twice a day, in the morining and at night. you should clease before you shave (it can prevent ingrown hair) and use the toner after shaving. be sure to use shaving GEL!!
**appropriate diets will help treat oil skin. avoid refined starches, sugar, animal and dairy fats, fried and processed foods. eat a low-fat diet emphasizing fresh fruit, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates. drink 6-8 glasses of water (or herb teas) a day. eliminate stimulants. try to have regular, daily bowel movements. make sure your vitamin/mineral intake is adequate. vitamin A, B-6 and lecithin can be helpful too!
**i use products from bioelements. some products good for oily skin are: spotless cleanser, active astringent, beyond hydration moisturizer and they have a new product called oil control sleepwear.
good luck! :)

Neutrogena products work very well. Make sure you only wash your face twice a day because washing it more will only cause your skin to produce more oil. Carry around oil blotting sheets to soak up excess oil throughout the day.

Skin care products with tea tree oil, all the way. My husband had the same problem a year ago, then he started using tea tree. Now, there aren't any oil build-ups. Good luck!

Something with balanced ingredients. Neutrogena products are good, as are Johnson and Johnson clean 'n clear. Be sure you don't overdry your skin. That will cause more problems!
