Thank you for query.if oily skin is problem,Then wash regularly your face atleast 3-4 times a day with gentle cleansers like cetaphil.Do not use any creams.do not rub or use harsh soaps to dry skin as they sometimes increase it on the contrary.Oily skin can predispose to acne.It is better to avoid oil rich foods and high glycemic foods.Mild keratolytics like salicylic acid can be used.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist.
