I can't recommend this enough: OIL CLEANSING.

I know it sounds crazy to use oil on oily skin... but it works amazingly well to cleanse and balance oil production. I've converted several friends to the oil cleansing method and they all love it. I've gone from a lifetime of oily skin, to only needing to do the oil cleansing once every two or three days and just wash with plain water the rest of the time.

And best of all, it's cheap and totally natural. All you need are oil(s), hot water and a soft washcloth.

Here's a how-to:

It can take a couple weeks of trial & error to find the best combination of oils for your skin. I found olive oil to be way too heavy... jojoba or almond oil are much lighter and easier to remove. Jojoba is really good for the skin as well. I use it straight from the bottle most times and don't even bother mixing it with castor oil.

teatree oils great for cleanning pores preventing breakouts and drying oily skin
baking sodas as a paste is a great facial scrub exfioliant (see the 40 uses of baking soda thread)

i think alotta women use avacodo facial scrubs but dunno its its just acvco or mixed with something
