Unfortunately, You can't stop an oily face. Its who/what you are. I am oily too, so I went to a Dermatologist to see what I can do. She said "oily skin is healthy & be glad you don't have dry skin which can be bad". You can minimize your oil by using oil free products and use blotting paper.
I totally agree :) I love boscia greent tea blotting sheets and using oil absorbing powder over my moisturizer. Ive read great things about clean and clear mattifying moisturizer (get it on amazon). Also, use moisturizer everyday and night to keep it hydrated. Also, stay away from products that have a lot of alcohol in it (Garnier moisture rescue has a lot so don't use it?
