    Good question!

    I suggest you to apply some home remedies for your oily face then also if you not feel well or satisfied then u should go to doctor.

    1) Eat lemon on daily basis ( mostly 2 pm and 8 pm is better time)

    2) Dont use any soap instead make a paste of "masoor daal" and apply it by making misture of it with water or milk as u have.

    3) Eat fruites,leafy vegetables,eggs etc.

    4) When you are going to outside use scarff or stol.

    Thank you

      ive done home remedies like this and imroved my diet. ill try the lemon one too. ive tried witch hazel, moisturizers and different kinds of face cleanser but they all dont work. i went to the chemist and got this natio face cleanser and moisturizer with jojoba beads and sylistic acid and they dont work either.  would this be enough to go see doctor?

      thanks for your reply.

    I was told having an oily skin is good news as it reduces the chance of arthritis in later life, as you are well lubricated!
