Okay, I'm brand new to oily skin. I'm nearly 21 years old, and my skin has just started to be "oily". I don't recall this happening in middle or high school, or even last year.
Basically, does anyone know why this just started happening? Also, can anyone give me tips or product suggestions (primarily face washes/ scrubs/ toners/ moisturizers) on how to handle it? It's frustrating being a greaseball all the time..

Your.skin may actually be dry and your skin is producing oil to help.

But... when I put on moisturizer, it feels like it gets greasier. Do you suggest I just stick it out, moisturize more, and see if it gets better?

Try an oil free moisterizer, that way you skin is hydrated without the excess oil.

Try neutrogena oil free moisturizer in the oily/combination skin version. It is really light and helps control oil. Also try using a good oil absorbing powder. There is no magic fix for oily skin, but there are things you can do to keep your oil at bay.

Thank you, ladies. Very helpful. :)
I'm still open to any other suggestions, though!

Try Olay Fresh Effects Shine Shine Go Away. It is meant for oily skin. I use it and I love it. I basically feels like it sucks all of the oil out of your skin! Hope this helped! :)
