I am dark in complexion and my skin is a oily type and because of this i have to carry two handkerchiefs or towels when ever i am going out cause even the powder i used to suppress the oil from getting out gets suppressed by the oil and i do not know what to do. And because of this oily skin i often get pimples easily. I would like someone to recommend me something for curing my skin from this too much oil at least something that can be found or done any where in the world. You may be thinking i eat foods with lots of fats and oil inside, that i do not, and because of this i stopped eating groundnuts cause the moments i eat at least 5 grains, i break out the next morning. Your help and suggestion would be appreciated.Thank you.

Try Neutrogena products, they are awesome for people with your skin type! Also, tea tree oil works really well!

The oil that your skin produces isn't a bad thing. In fact, you need it. Do you overly scrub and wash your face? Facial cleansing is good, but doing it too vigorously and too frequently actually accelerates the rate in which your skin produces oil.
I would recommend using oil absorbing sheets. Don't use handkerchiefs; they don't cut it. Also, don't reapply makeup to hide the oil. That would only make the problem more obvious. Use the sheets over the makeup. They'll remove the oil and leave your makeup intact.
Don't use products that leave your skin feeling tight and dry. That is a big signal for your skin to start producing more oil.
Facial masks are great for oily skin. Not the peel off ones, but the clay and mud based ones.
Hmm... I can't think of anymore things at the moment, but I hope this helps.
