It's only really an evening cleanse. Massage a small dab of coconut oil into dry skin. Then in the sink grab a damp flannel as warm as you can take and wipe away the residue. Wipe until clean. That's it!
I have really oily skin too its such a pain, as far as makeup goes, clinique loose powder is the only powder ive found that keeps the shine away all day
I agree with Sarah L. Use some kind of oil, whether its for cleansing or for moisturizing. Your skin is probably so oily because its dry and using products that are going to dry it out more aren't going to fix the problem. You could also try a mattifying or oil-absorbing lotion. Just make sure it also hydrates at the same time so you aren't stripping all moisture from your face.
Drink lots of water! The oil glands in your skin are on overdrive if you skin is not properly hydrated. Once you load up on the H2O, your skin no longer needs the excess hydration and in turn slows down the oil production in your skin.

You should look into the oil cleansing method. It's fantastic and I can't rave about it enough. All of my clients are using it and love it.

In the morning splash with water and wipe over skin with organic witch hazel.

Don't dry the skin out or scrub too much, use gentle products twice a day.
