Greasy Skin
A greasy skin looks shiny, thick, and dull colored. The sebaceous glands produce more oil than is needed, thus making the face greasy and enlarging the pores. It often has blackheads and is prone to acne. Greasy skin requires more cleansing than other skins. Grease tends to pick up dirt and grime which clog the pores and produce blackheads.
Wash the face in the morning, at mid-day and at night before going to sleep, with facial cleanser and water. In the evening remove all traces of makeup with a cleansing cream. Use a mild skin tonic. The toning will improve the circulation and the texture of the skin. Moisturizing a greasy skin is not essential, but you may use a non-greasy moisturizer only in the day.

hi, well i have very oily skin because of my ethinic orign. what i like to use that works really well is this product from clean and clear- its an oil reducing mask. and if u use it evry other day your skin is less oily. clean and clear also has this powder (in the face wash section) that u can put under your other make up such as foundation or bronzer, and it also help the greaseness. like in the morning just as i was done outting all my make-up on with in like two to three hours depending on if i got sweaty or not my face would be come oily, but when i started using the mask it wasnt evn very oily by the end of the day! and a hint when mask is dry right before u wash it off turn the water on hot only and let your face have staem by it for awhile, this opens up more pours allowing the the mask to absorb more oil. try it!! it’s gr8!!!
It is not true than oily skin does nos need to be moisturized. Grease is not water and your skin, weather it is greasy or not, needs water. That is why you need to apply moisturizaer to your skin twice a day, but always a moisturizer for your oily skin. If you do not provide your skin with water, you can start having problemas in delicate areas like eyes and lips.
I agree with Kathiren you do need moisturiser as by using a moisturiser or foundation product, the message gets to the skin that there already is some oil present and therefore it doesn’t need to produce any itself. if you do not use moisturiser your face thinks you need more oils. the best product to use make-up wise is clinque loos powder i have extremely greasy skin and on nites out people dont have a clue. you can put it on as many times as you like as its transparent.
