Method 1 of 3: Remove the fat

1. Prep your skin. Soak a clean cotton washcloth in hot water. Wring out the excess water from the washcloth and wipe your skin with the damp washcloth. Then splash lukewarm water on your face to help rinse away all the dirt.
   • The heat from the washcloth will help loosen any dirt particles in your pores, making it easier to rinse them away.
2. Use less makeup. Using a lot of cosmetics can make your skin oilier and clog your pores. Consider how many products you use and try to use fewer. If you don't already use many products, try to use less of them. It's also a good idea to start using cosmetics intended for people with oily skin, especially if your makeup isn't going to last all day.
   • Always wash your makeup off your face every night before bed. Leaving your makeup on can clog your pores.
3. Comb your hair back and tie it back. If your face, neck and upper back are oily and you have long hair, comb it back and tie it back. The fat in your hair is produced by your scalp, just like your skin produces fat. Avoid rubbing oily hair on your skin and making your skin greasier.
   • Your skin may also be too sensitive to the shampoo you are using. It's a good idea to change your shampoo for a while to see if it makes your skin healthier.
4. Wash your pillowcases. Don't forget to wash your pillowcases at least once a week. Your skin produces fat while you sleep, and that fat stays on your pillowcase. The fat can build up during the week and make your skin greasy, even if your face was completely clean when you went to sleep.
   • Also wash your sheets once a week, especially if the skin on your back is oily.
