Oily skin is one off the best and worst skin type to have. You're probably going to look younger than you would if your skin weren't oily. The amount of oil, or sebum, your glands secrete forms an incredibly effective barrier against moisture evaporation. Moisture is what keeps the skin soft and supple. So, with many women, its simply a matter of not letting the excess oil accumulate on the skin's surface - for appearance as much as anything.
If you have oily skin, it may be acne-prone. But its wrong to assume that oily skin is synonymous with blemishes. Now for some more good news. oily skin is rarely oily forever. As we mature, our hormone level change, which usually leads to a slow-down in sebum production. You should also prepared to make routine.
Oil glands tend to be most active in the T-zone. The area forming a T across the forehead and down the center of the face.

If your skin is very oily, there are several things you can do to improve its appearance. For the best results, incorporate these changes into your routine gradually.
cleanse, freshen and moisture balance your facial skin three times a day instead of twice, in the morning, in the late afternoon, or early evening, and then again before going to bed. It won’t change your sebum production, but it will improve your appearance.
Set up your mask treatment to three times a week to help absorb excess oil.
Apply two layers of oil control lotion in the morning instead of one to help prevent oily breakthrough and increase your foundation’s “staying power”. Allow the first coat to dry, then carefully pat on the second coat to avoid disturbing at first layer. Let this coat also dry completely before applying your oil-free foundation.
Apply loose face powder over your foundation.
Use linen blotting papers throughout the day to blot up excess oil and help keep makeup looking fresh.
Keep your hair off your face. A style without bangs will help prevent the sebum from your scalp from transferring back to your face.
