How can i control the shine on my face at school?

so im a freshman and thanks to my parents genes i have a very oily face. i wash it with a benzoyl peroxide wash at morning and night. i dont have very bad acne or anything but i do have an oily face, mostly on my forehead. i have mattifying powder, but i dont have time to really put it on during class changes because we only have 5 minutes to get from class to class and my classes are always like on the other side of the school. but how can i prevent the oil from even starting and what are some quick fixes once the shiny face starts showing?How can i control the shine on my face at school?
You can get blotting papers from the body shop, or clinique and stuff. Or when you go to the bathroom, take a square of toilet paper, and pull apart the 2 plys, and blot your face with one ply, and it works just as well as the papers.

If your school has toilet liners, they make great oil blotters. I found out that they are the same material as those expensive oil blotters that are sold for $2-$10 is stores. Get one, fold it up, take it home, cut it up, and keep them in your pocket. Duck into the bathroom during lunch or in between periods to dab your forehead. It works much quicker than applying makeup.





Also, use a matifying or oil control lotion/moisturizer. Make sure all your makeup products, including makeup remover, are oil free.
Try a foundation that has oil control and finish it with a powder. It'll keep your face nice and ';matte'; through out the day. DO NOT touch your face or bangs a lot because that can really grease them up. Also you can carry oil blotting sheets. Don't rub it around with it smashed to your forehead. Just lightly press it all over. ';Blotting';. :)
Blotting sheets are an easy, fast way to take away shine.





You can also buy some that have powders in them as well which can give you a matte look. I got mine from Boots if that helps.





Preventing oil in the first place - usually I skip toner, and an oil-free moisturizer or anything prescribed for oily skin would help.
Put moisterizer on your face





You can carry oil blotting sheets, or even cheaper.. use toilet seat covers! It sounds gross but take the first one out and use the second (TO make sure the person before you didn't touch it)





It works with taking away oil
well there blotting paper which is paper that takes away the oil from your face and I use the Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets.
use blotting powder in the morning and blotting sheets through out the day.
try Cheat Sheet shine blotters from Mark. they're inexpensive, but super effective and discrete
