It's good that you don't have acne.I know about oily skin because i've been dealing with it for all my life.I've used so many products,you won't believe it!!!The fact is that oily skin is a deep disorientation of the skin causing it to produce more oil than necessary.No product is able to ban your oiliness completely.But this doesn't mean that you must not use any products.On the contrary specified products for oily skin will help your skin become as less oily as possible and keep it healthy.So all you have to do is use a line of products for oily skin morning and night.Cleanse,tone and moisturize.I believe Este猫 Lauder is one of the best brands you can use.But that depends on you.Help for oily skin?
Palmolive hard green soap, on the entire face each time you feel that way. But here's the bright side: oily faces age slower.
Well, I have combination skin....one day I am oily %26amp; sometimes just normal.





I have a very simple %26amp; non-expensive way to keep oil down. Using a cotton ball I put a small amount of rubbing alcohol on gently rub it all over my face allowing it to set in, then I wait 5 minutes and continue moisturizing as normal...and within a week I really saw a difference!
Try putting milk of magnesia on your skin. Leave for ten minutes and then wash off with plain water. Really does help diminish oil. If you dilute it with a bit of water on a cotton ball, you may get a thin enough coat so that it won't be visible under make-up.
I don't know any remidies..but i know that Snt Ives Apricot helps your skin breath and better because i use it myself

Oil-Free acne wash (mostly used for oily skin)
You can use the Pond's product. It has formula 5 that helps to solve 5 skin problems. Just use it properly.





How? Just squeeze a pea sized on your palm and mix it with water. Then rub it on palm until become foamy then scrub on every part that needs solution or if oily, just on the whole face.





You can buy it at supermarkets.
If blotting hasn't been working, go see a dermatologist.
It's not your fault, really. If you've got to blame someone, blame your ancestors. Chances are they came from someplace where oily skin served a useful purpose, such as combating the effects of excessive Mediterranean sunlight or monsoon rains. Now you're stuck with oily skin in the middle of Minnesota, where the embarrassment of a shiny forehead outweighs any possible protection your skin might afford you from scorching rays or tropical torrents.





Heredity does play a big part in oily skin, but so do hormones. Pregnant women sometimes notice an increase in skin oil as hormonal activity changes. So do women taking certain types of birth control pills. Stress can also cause the oil glands to kick into overdrive. The wrong cosmetics can easily aggravate an otherwise mild case of oily skin. Some of these causes are within your ability to control, but others you'll have to learn to live with.





There is no magic cure for oily skin. State-of-the-art advice from the experts calls for keeping it clean, and keeping at it all the time. These tips will help you do that as well as it can be done.





On the up side, skin experts believe there are some advantages to having an oily hide, not the least of which becomes apparent with the steady passing of time. That is, oily skin tends to age better and wrinkle less than dry or normal skin. Today's curse; tomorrow's blessing.





Make mine mud.


';Clay masks or mud masks are worthwhile,'; says Howard Donsky, M.D., an associate professor of medicine at the University of Toronto and staff dermatologist at Toronto General Hospital. But Dr. Donsky cautions that masks will make skin feel good and look better only temporarily, so don't count on the effects lasting for any length of time.





Generally, the darker brown the clay (mud), the more oil it can absorb. White or rose-colored clays, though, are gentler and work best on sensitive skin.





Masks can cleanse the skin of surface greasiness, but don't expect them to ';deep-clean'; the pores (the term is meaningless, some experts say) or do anything more than temporarily tone the skin.





Splash on the hot suds.


';Hot water is a good solvent,'; says Hillard H. Pearlstein, M.D., a private practitioner and assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of New York. For that reason, he recommends that oily skin be washed in very warm water, with plenty of soap. ';Hot water plus soap will dissolve skin oil better than cold water and soap,'; he says, ';because more things dissolve in hot than cold, and that includes soap and the grit and grime you're trying to get rid of on your skin.';





Follow with astringents.


Astringents with acetone are your best bet, according to Dr. Neldner. ';Acetone is a great fat and grease solvent, and most astringents have a bit of acetone in them. If you use it regularly, you can surely remove oil from the skin.';





Although most astringents contain alcohol, look for a brand that also contains acetones, such as Seba-Nil, says Dr .Neldner. Ordinary rubbing alcohol, however, can be used as an effective, inexpensive astringent. Those looking for something milder can try witch hazel, which contains some alcohol and also works well.





Nonalcohol astringents contain mostly water and are not as effective as those with alcohol and acetone, but they may be of help for those with sensitive skin. Worth noting: Dermatologists say that rather than washing the face several times a day, which can leave it too dry and irritated, you're better off to carry astringent pads with you and use them to cleanse the face.





Select cosmetics with care.


';Cosmetics come in two major categories,'; says Dr. Neldner, ';oil-based and water-based. If you've got oily skin, use only a water-based product.';





There are many cosmetics formulated for oily skin. They are made to soak up and cover oiliness so the skin doesn't look as greasy. But no cosmetic has any magical ingredient that will slow down or stop oil production, so don't be lured into buying products that make such claims.





Take a powder.


Baby powder, that is. For additional shine-free protection, some women find that simple products such as Johnson's Baby Powder make a superb face powder when fluffed lightly over makeup.





Cleansing Oily Skin





Before applying homemade facial masks and skin treatments for oily skin, it鈥檚 important to properly clean your face, but don鈥檛 make the mistake of using products that aren鈥檛 specifically meant for oily skin. Cold cream, and some facial cleansers are oil-based, and they aren鈥檛 appropriate for oily skin. Moisturizers that contain oil will cleanse the skin, but they will cause an already oily face to become even more greasy.





Find a low-cost facial soap formulated specifically for oily skin. Fill a basin with warm water, and saturate your face with the water. Make a thick lather with soap of your choice, and apply the soap to your face using a gentle circular motion. Rinse away the lather with the warm soapy water, and preform a second rinse with clean warm water. Lastly, finish by rinsing the face with clean, cool water, and pat your face dry with an absorbent towel. Cleanse your face in this manner, morning and night. This should help keep oily skin clean and under control.





Oatmeal and Honey Mask





An oatmeal and honey mask can be very effective for treating oily skin. Simply make a paste using uncooked oatmeal, honey, and lemon juice. Spread this mixture on your face, and use extreme caution around the eyes. Leave the mask on for about ten minutes, and rinse it off with warm water. Dab your face dry with an absorbent towel.

Daily, mix 1 tablespoon of limejuice with cucumber juice and apply it on the skin surface almost half an hour before having a bath. Your skin may be extremely oily and so mix a few trickles of eau de cologne. By treating the skin in this manner, you are not only removing the excess oil from the skin, but also clearing the pores that are present, thus preventing the development of acne.
