I'm not sure if this works but, my friend has experienced some oily face problems to so she bought these wipes that clean your face. I know that it get rids of the oil but I am not sure about the after effects.

I use sea salt as an exfoliate. I do this once a week, and it has helped tremendously, literally over night with the same problem.

cut back on the liquid foundation and use a mineral based foundation powder. It will cut back on the shininess and exfoliate every day with sea salt.

You have te typical oily skin and I know where you are coming from because I have oily skin as well. Here are some of my tips: Rub a drier sheet over your face right after getting out of the shower! That'll help control the shine. Use a powder foundation rather then the liquid one, Tonning lotion is a must: It tightens the pores and keeps the dirt out. Limit washing your face to 2-3 times a day. To clense oily skin - use oil-based products because they dissolve sebum. Choose oil-free moisturizers to keep a shine free face. Here are some links to oil-free moisturizers: link link

Here is a link to some home-made remedies to control the shine - link

The best product I can suggest you is proactive cleansing. You can order your choice of package and follow the routine given. It helps a lot and it will also get rid of any other acne you have. Hopefully this will help you out. And I hope you get a shine-free face.

I advise you to clean your face three times a day with nozima pads. One in the morning, in the middle of the day and at night. The pads clears pimple, blck heads and cleans your face so your face won't let out so much grease. So just clean your face more often. Also another thing is if you sweat to much it will cause your face to be very shiny.

Get Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets. They're in a little blue packet thing. these work GREAT for a temporary fix. You just press it against your face wherever the oily spot is, and it will turn a darker blue for how much oil there is. But it doesn't absorb and water or makeup- your makeup stays perfect. I don't know how they work- but they do! They are about 6-9 bucks, I don't remember, but there are 50 sheets. They're worth the money, and worth a try. I hope this helps, and good luck!

I know it sounds weird but I was watching Extra and there was a make-up artist on there that said if you dab just a little bit of unscented deodorant on the areas that are usually oily it will make those shiny bits totally matte. I haven't looked into it any more than that though so you might want to google it or something and see if anyone else recommends it. Good luck! :)

Try to use oil free makeup. I use mineral makeup and it's FANTASTIC! I can't rave about it enough. I also sometimes use blotting papers. Check everydayminerals.com, sephora.com or drugstore.com for them. They're exactly what they sound like. Small papers that you blot your face with to absorb excess oil.

I also hang around a site called makeupalley.com. The gals over there may have some better ideas :)
