Wear some powder and find some good oil absorbing sheets.

P.S. My face will be okay right after I wash it but an hour into the day it gets really bad!

I'm going into high school as well (freshies unite!!) and you are so lucky, your skin is amazing!! I personally don't think you need it as long as you keep your face moisturized but if you feel you do, I would recommend covergirl

You should try a light powder! Your skin is flawless so you don't need a foundation. A powder will help with your oily t zone as well. Any pressed powder from the drugstore would work well :)

Also wash your face with a oil free shine control cleanser, that really helped me with my oily nose.

Not at all. You're too young and you have great skin. I would use translucent powder and that's all.

I have an issue with an oily nose / tone as well and I found that during lunch using oil absorbing pads and powder helped keep my face shine free throughout the day. Use only on the oily parts though, you don't want to look too powdered :^) good luck with your first year!

You don't need foundation or bb cream! You have flawless skin itd be a shame to cover it up.!(: When you get oily use blotting sheets, I love the Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets, and you should try an oil control moisturizer! I hate the cetaphil one but the Clinique Stay Matte Hydrator is my favorite! After you apply your favorite oil-free moisturizer put this on your tzone and it instantly takes the oil away and it leaves your skin looking great and shine free! I always keep this in my backpack and just apply it when the oil is getting crazyyy((:

To me, your skin looks so beautiful! I'm sure oil may be a burden, but to me it's nothing! Sigh. Acne scars. Anyway, I'd suggest blotting sheets and some lightweight foundation or translucent powder.

BareMinerals has some nice light powder foundations. And I'm so jelly. You have like, perfect skin!

Try using a matte powder. use the rimmel stay matte or the maybelline dream matte. and if you get oily during the day use oil blotting sheets. I say you should use clean and clear. and there are these Olay 4 in 1 clothes and THEY ARE AMAZING. but you don't need foundation in my opinion
