I have incredibly oily skin. I cant wear foundation or anything as the oil comes through and looks awful. I am 37 and still havent managed to find a moisturiser that mattifies all day rather than just for an hour.
Does anyone else have the same problem? If so, what do you use that helps?
On the plus side, I barely have any wrinkles!

Do you use a primer under foundation?
What about setting powders or setting sprays?
Is there any particular budget that you're working with?
It works well and is only £3.99.
And no matter how oily you are, do NOT use anything 'mattifying' - read this (and the rest of her blog, she's incredible) http://www.carolinehirons.com/2014/01/beauty-myths-no5-if-you-have-oily-skin.html
Your body is doing it for you.
I dont actually want to use make up, I just mentioned it to try to show how oily and shiny my skin is. I currently use a Clarins primer under a mattifying moisturiser. I tried the primer on its own and it was worse but they work bettter than if I just used the moisturiser.
I'll have a read of that blog ta.
I use Simply Pure spot clearing moisturising cream by superdrug which is nice and light.
But if you are looking for something to get rid of excess oil you should try Witch Hazel (available at pharmacies) or Rose Water (available on ebay) on a cotton pad. I find them astringent but natural.
They do an oil control lotion and also a moisturiser for oiler skins called "active moist" which I've found to be really good at lasting all day without any shiny patches.

hello, do you have an idea about Moroccan clay
Principal Benefits of
Rhassoul (Moroccan Red) Clay:
Repair Broken capillaries
improves puffiness, dark shadows Bags under eyes
Known for its ability to reduce appearance of wrinkles
Ideal for dry, sensitive, mature, and stressed skin
Skin softening and tissue firming - particularly the bust, thighs, stomach and upper arms.
Revitalizes the complexion and tightens pores
Makes a great shampoo. It stimulates the scalp and helps restore luster to over processed, over worked hair. Gives body to hair, regulates excretion of sebum in the scalp and makes hair shiny.Rhassoul clay's most impressive property in skin improvement is its capacity of absorption due to its high level of ion exchange. Clinical studies have been conducted by two different research laboratories in the United States (International Research Services, Inc. www.irsi.org and Structure Probe, Inc. www.2spi.com) to evaluate Rhassoul use for skin conditions. The study results showed that a single use of our Rhassoul clay mask statistically:
Reduces dryness (79%)
Reduces flakiness (41%)
Improves skin clarity (68%)
Improves skin elasticity / firmness (24%)
Improves skin texture (106%)
Removes skin surface oil and oil from inside and around comedones (Blackheads & Whiteheads)
Removes dead skin, resulting in a smoothing of surface skin
Use Rhassoul clay as a facial mask, body wrap and clay pack for luxurious and decadent experience. For greasy hair or hair which lacks volume and thickness, you can make a simple hair mask by adding warm water to Rhassoul and applying it to your hair, rinse after 15 or 20 minutes, until the water runs clear. This hair mask will also give the hair shine.
I find pure aloe vera gel is really good. And keep a pack of 'papier poudre' in your handbag.
You could treat it internally by drinking apple cider vinegar, that made a big difference to my skin.
Apple cider vinegar toner is also very good.
As the above poster says, Rhassoul clay is amazing. I use it once a week.
This works for me but I do wear make up. I have a small oil slick on my face and although it's not perfect this has helped 80%. I no longer need to blot my face throughout the day.
And yes the lack of wrinkles is a big benefit of oily skin.
