Every other week you can try a honey and egg mask, it dries out excess oil while still moisturizing your skin, if you dry out your skin too much it will over compensate in oil.

I also recommend using Epsom salts, crush them into a powder and mix with water to form a paste and use as a mask once or twice a week. Epsom salts will make your skin seem so much healthier and will help get rid of oils and dirt, through osmosis :)

Wash your face with slightly warmer than luke warm water. Not hot enough to completely dry it out but enough to soak up some moisture.
Use an oil free moisturizer once a day, preferably in the morning, your skin naturally is creating enough sebum so you don't need to add tons more.
Using milk of magnesia in the morning as a toner will also help without making your skin flaky

Now as for face washes, there is a few I would recommend :)

-neutrogena rapid clear oil control foaming cleanser
-clean and clear oil absorbing cream cleanser
-Nivea (men's) oil control cleaner

And most acne cleansers with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid

I've used the cetaphil oil control foam and that stuff is junk! Used it for about a month before tossing it- way too over drying

Use neutrogena oil control face wash and make sure your water is not too hot or too cold just lukewarm water. Be very careful with what you put in your face.

What does water affect? @Briebrie

If the water is too hot it can dry the skin out, dehydrating it and making it produce more oil.
