Answer:
Oily skin can be very frustrating and it is a common complaint that no skin products are very much effective.

The problem is likely to relate hormonal factors and may improve or settle completely over years. In fact, there is no magical cure for oily skin. Regular care and appropriate treatment of oily skin can go a long way in keeping it clean and blemish free.

Wash your face with special soap prescribed by your dermatologist. Massage with upward and outward direction. Washing with warm water may help to dissolve skin oil. It is a good treatment for oily skin. But do not use very hot water as it can strip the essential oil of your skin. You may use Ketoconazol shampoo to get your scalp fresh and healthy.

Topical vitamin derivatives with ingredients prescribed by dermatologists is effective to tackle sensitive oily skins. Some antibiotic creams and lotions are also helpful in treating blemished oily skin. Here are some tips to get rid of oily skin:

• Take a diet rich in proteins with plenty of leafy vegetables and fresh fruits.
• Restrict sugar, fat containing and junk foods. Supplement your food with wheat grain, nutritional yeast, whole grains, beans and nuts.
• Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated and flush out toxins.
• White or pink clay masks gently cleanse oily skin of excess oil. The darker brown clay masks are stronger and more effective on very oily skins. If it goes in vain, then you need exploring your hormone level. Usually estrogen containing pills are prescribed in abnormal cases. There are also therapy like photo-therapy, injection etc. For this, you should go to a dermatologist to get proper treatment guideline.

Good luck.
