Have you tried THE SOAP (http://www.go4soap.com), made famous by Weetabix? I have very oily myself and it even over-dried my cheeks but my extra-oily forehead and nose loved it.

Something else to try - lye soap - I actually have to use lotion after that stuff.

Did Elvis like Cat Burgers? Anyway, oily skin eh? I have never heard that, though I am a man and hence, don't understand anything about ageing except for hair loss.

Every time I am with my sister, people think she is my mother. Weirdness. When the oily skin dries up, try Oil of Olay - that's my secret.

I have dryish skin, but it still gets shiny (which frustrates me to no end, because it's tight if I don't lotion it and oily if I do). But my plan is this: I will smile as much as I can, because Grandma said that if you smile a lot then your wrinkles will be in the right places. I smoked for 13 yrs and had too many blistery sunburns to count, so I'm not planning to stay wrinkle-free much longer. I just hope I don't get a turkey-neck. yecch.

I love my clinique. I am sorry I don't have any oily skin suggestions for you as I am a dry skin person. Man, I used to love Mickey Rourke.

What the heck happened to Mickey Rourke, because, people, Mickey Rourke was, oh. my. gash. Mickey Rourke was SEX-SAYEEE as the POPE! NO MAN better EVER try to smack down MOM-ON-ROOF, but Mickey Rourke dressed as the Pope of Greenwich Village, well, I have to admit, I might just take a little smack down from the pope. But his ass BETTER make UP for it, and I think you know what I'm trying to say here.

I usually start with a thorough exfoliation using cat litter, it's just rough enough to get rid of those dead skin cells. Then I use my own brand of toner: alcohol, gasoline and a dash of peppermint to make it smell good. After I put that on I make sure to moisturize the next day with some Crisco Butter Flavor: cheap & just as good as the name brands. (For real, though, I'm searching, too. The only advice I have is don't use soap on your face. Big whoop. I use a toner, too, and that seems to help a little bit. And usually the brown paper towels are pretty good at absorbing oil.)

I'm super oily too. I wear Clinique, all oil free of course. They have this pore minimzer lotion that really helps keep the oil down...to the point that people have commented on how good my skin looks!

I use the "Matte Scientist" lotion and "Oil Refiner" toner from Origins. There's a counter in most Filenes. As for face wash, they have a few kinds I go between, I use their "liquid Clay" Try it all, it rocks.

Mary Kay has a product called Oil Mattifier. I use it on my t-zone, and it works pretty well.

Aha! Now I know the answer to that question you wouldn't answer! ;) Also, I'm back from Connecticut.

And now I realize I'm a dope and mixed you up with someone else. My brain isn't working post-vacation.
