    i know there is a few questions posted but none of them seem to help.
    i have pretty oily skin. i wash my face in the morning and night with neutrogina grapefruit wash. i dont wear makeup but i wear glasses so my nose get pretty oily and my forehead ends up just as bad halfway through the day.
    are there any products that can help? its really bad especially at college when i dont get time to to run to the bathroom and wash my face :(

    Dermalogica - Dermal clay cleanser is good for oily skin.

    You should be using a cleanser that is suitable for oily skin, and ensuring that you're removing any trace of the product completely.
    Witch-Hazel is an astringent which is a very effective base for a toner suitable for oily skin.

    Make sure you're using a correct moisturiser. An oil in water based moisturiser.

    Exfoliate at least twice a week and use a mask suitable for oily skin (fullers earth/kaolin/magnesium carbonate).

    Also - MAC do a blot powder, that absorbs 10 times more oil than the regular powders. If your skin doesnt improve with a correct skin care regieme, maybe try that.

    Make sure you use a moisturiser. Use an oil free one thats for oily or blemish prone skin. Sometimes if you dont moisturise your skin, your skin will thinks its dry and produce extra oil.
    Makesure your facewash is for oily skin. I use the simple spot prone skin range which is cheap and good for oily skin.
    And make sure youre washing your face morning and night. Try blotting paper, you can get it cheap on elf.co.uk
    Hope this helps!
