Carrots are filled with vitamin A, which is a fantastic anti-acne ingredient. Grapefruit is great for helping rebalance the skin. Kiwi fruit is filled with enzymes, which help to clear the skin.   Cleansing & Moisturising. Over cleansing is bad for every skin type. Cleanse the skin morning and night with a mild and gentle pH balanced foaming cleanser, glycerin soap is considered a great way to stop your face from being shiny. Facial scrubs are a no-no on oily skin. Follow the cleanser with an alcohol and acetone free toner. Oil and moisture are two very different things. Use a moisturizer that is light and oil-free, water-based one will work best.   Homemade Treatment An egg yolk mask dries out the skin and is an easy fix for reducing shine. Simply apply the egg yolk with a cotton pad on to oily spots. Leave for 15 minutes and then rinse with cool water. Clay or mud masks are also a great way to reduce oiliness.   Make Up Apply an oil-free, mineral powder makeup base or a water-based foundation.Always opt for powdered blusher rather than cream and the same for eyeshadows.
