An oily skin can sometimes be frustrating, but it is still important to care for it by cleansing, toning and moisturising.  Cleansing may be done with soap, or a cleanser specifically formulated for an oily skin.  Use an astringent toner, since this will help to constrict the tissues in the face and help reduce any inflammation.
Moisturising the skin is also important, to help the skin stay supple.  It is helpful to use a light moisturiser or one specifically for oily skin.
Diet can also play a vital role.  Drink up to  two litres of water a day, since this will help to flush out any toxins and clear the sysytem.
Try to avoid fried foods and very fatty foods.  Chocolate should be avoided where possible, as well as cakes.
Instead try to  eat lots of vegetables and fruit.  Foods rich in Vitamin A and D are also helpful to oily skin.
