I have SUPER oily skin. I wash my face twice a day, in the morning and before I go to bed. I use an all natural herbal cleanser and I use aloe vera gel instead of lotion, because I will NOT use cleansers or lotions that have chemicals in them. I use makeup made for oily skin too, but my face is still a complete oil slick one to two hours after I do my makeup. How do I make my face less oily?!

Although you curse it now this is actually a wonderful thing, your own oil is the best moisturizer and you will have wonderful skin later in life! And the oilyness will reduce as you get older. You are smart not to use chemicals as a solution, I also have oily skin and I have a great matting foundation by maybe line called dream matte mousse! You can also get blotting pads which absorb oil off your face but leave your makeup on! Remember you are what you eat, a diet high in fatty greasy foods will cause skin to release more oil and break out! Try in cooperating more water and less pop or juices ? if that applies to you. Also try wearing less makeup and bringing cleansing pads to use mid-day, there are lots f great home made cheap masks you can make that work great!

Stop treating your skin as oily skin. I know that sounds ridiculous since you think you have "super oily" skin. But when you use the anti shine and mattifying lotions and cleansers they are completely stripping your skin of all if its oil, including the natural oil that's SUPPOSED to be there, and your skin is working excessively to produce and replenish the oil. Look into the oil cleansing method.

And since you like natural options, try some natural masks that will tighten your pores. I know this isn't so natural, but clay masks work wonders. And yes, i agree with everyone else, moisturizing is the best thing to do!

Well, in all reality, you cant stop it, but to make it look less oily, and more soft, try using baby powder, but not too much, you dont wanna look like a gost.
