Well there is a cosmetic called Maybelline shine cover, but it only really lasts an hour and a half. you'd have to apply it again and again through out the day.How do i treat oily skin and make it nice and smooth all day long?
I used to have really oily skin and used a strong exfoliating wash on my face every day. I was then advised that this was actually making my skin worse as I was stripping all of the oil from my face so my body was just making more.





My top tip for oily skin on the face is to not put water anywhere near it. Get a cream cleanser and take off with cotton wool, then use a nice light toner (the Body Shop do a good one with Aloe Vera) and follow with a light moisturiser. This might seem like a bit of a pain, but it only takes a couple of minutes a day and is totally worth the effort. Don't worry if your skin feels even oilier on the first few days you use the cleanser - stick with it and eventually your skin will look lovely.





For your body - don't use soap as it really dries your skin. Use a moisturising body wash or sensitive skin shower gel and occassionally (i.e. 2 times a week) use a light body lotion. And maybe give it a good exfoliating scrub every 2 weeks or so just to get rid of the dead skin cells.





I know that putting creams on oily skin seems a bit counter productive, but it really works.

Boots do a fantastic shine control cream in their No 7 range - it really does last all day. It's quite pricey (about 拢12) but you only need a tiny amount so it's quite cost effective. I hasten to add that it's just for your face!
use SK-II product... it work, but quite expensive...
Go to your local ';Lush'; shop. I have the same problem %26amp; these are the things I use, facial wash- ';Herbalism';, toner- ';Tea Tree Water'; and moisturiser- ';Enzymion';. They are all made for oily skin, and keep my skin matte all day. On days when I get a bit shiny you can put MORE moisturiser on and it makes your skin matte again! They contain no alcohol so won't make your skin break out with dry patches that cause more oily skin when you try and rehydrate it, or give you spots. :)
use vichy normaderm anti imperction cream.It is expensive,but it is worth spending the money.One bottle costs to Rs.1100-Rs.1200 in india and it lasts for one month only.But this is sure that it really works and leaving ur skin baby soft and shiny
Get an oil-free moisturizer. And get oil free blotting papers.
An oily skin , as the name implies, is one in which the sebaceous or oil-producing glands are over active. As surface grease tends to attract dirt, an oily skin acquires a dirty surface film , that needs to be removed daily. For more details log to http://useinfo-oilyskin.blogspot.com/
