What's your skincare routine like now? Skincare aside, you can try blotting papers and powder throughout the day.

Don't strip it of moisture! Your skin is the largest sensory organ on your body. It produces oil to protect and moisturize as well as clean itself. Without the sebum that is produced by the sebaceous glands, our largest organ would not function properly. What we have traditionally done throughout the years, especially those with oily skin, is use harsh cleansers and astringents to strip away the oils. So when we go and use these harsh detergents and soaps and strip away our naturally occurring sebum, the skin goes into overdrive and produces even MORE oil to replace and compensate the oil that has been removed.
The more you take, the more it makes.
Basic chemistry lesson…like dissolves like. Meaning, oil will dissolve oil. ( Have you ever tried removing nail polish from your nails with nail polish? ) It will also clean and replace. You are better off taking a cotton ball, dipping it in oil, and cleaning your skin, then stripping it of oil. The clean oil will not only dissolve the dirty oil and replace it, but it will also clean out your pores.
The best oils will probably be the non-comedogenic ones for your skin type, which would be
Argan, Rosehip, Hemp, & Jojoba. You can apply your moisturizer and then a couple of drops of oil after, or add a couple of drops into your moisturizer and combine the two.

Sephora does sell some oils to use on your face as well, if you don't feel like you can buy any of these or get ahold of them.

I use Milk of Magnesia after using my facial toner and prior using makeup/face primer. But do a skin test first ;)
