text: other than drink more water, how can i stop my oily skin from shining like a new penny?   nutrition is a key role in good skin.  watch what you eat, drink plenty of water as you already stated.  wash your face 2 times a day with a good wash for oily skin. don't over wash either, that can make it worse.  when applying make up, use a good oil free base makeup and use a make up sponge to apply it lightly and evenly.  dust over foundation with an oil free, fragrence free light powder.
