Clay: A clay mask works. Cleanse the skin first and use any over the counter clay face mask.

Witch Hazel: Oily skin is difficult to treat, but wiping down with witch hazel can help take off some of the oil and make the skin feel better. This is much less aggressive and irritating than alcohol-based astringents.
