Tips for controlling oil on face (and stopping oily bangs?)?

What are some things I can try/use to help keep my face less oily? I've realized that the oil on my forehead makes my bangs look greasy throughout the day so I am trying to find a way to get rid of some of the oil on my face.Tips for controlling oil on face (and stopping oily bangs?)?
About your face? All I can tell you is wash your face regularly, use a foundation that ';controls oil';, buy some oil blotters, and carry around a powder compact. Now as for your bangs, I do have a very good suggestion. At Sephora(which has higher prices), or Sally beauty supplies(which has much cheaper prices) you can buy what is called ';waterless shampoo';. Sally's beauty supply specifically has one that costs 7 dollars and is small enough to carry around in your purse. Just go into the restoom and spray it on your bangs, brush it out and BAM! looks like you just washed them. However, if you do decide to buy the product from Sally's..you'll have to ask the lady at the front to find it for you(it was much too hard to find on my own...sort of hidden)

The oil on your bangs is coming from your scalp, dear, not your face. Bangs on the face just hold in heat from the forehead, and it's the combo of the heat and the oils from your face that feed the bacteria that will cause breakouts. From your forehead, most of what your hair gets is the sweat, and combined with the natural oils of the scalp, and dirt floating through the air, your bangs will get to looking rather flat as the day passes. You also need the oil on your skin, as a lubricant, and as a means of trapping dirt particles and bacteria before they get into the pores to make trouble. If you are a teen, you will naturally be producing a bit more oil from both your scalp and face right now. There isn't much you can do about that. The only thing you can do is to keep your face clean. Plain soap and water is best for that, but you can also use witch hazel on a clean cotton pad periodically during the day to wipe down the most oily areas. That will remove some of the excess oil and dirt, and in turn will help with both flat bangs and breakouts. It will also help if the bangs are not actually just on the forehead, but are pushed to the sides of the face. When you are in PE or working out, it is also a good idea to just use a barrette to clip the bangs back out of your face entirely. Whatever you do, don't go spreading a coat of acne gel on the area to dry out your skin. Dry skin actually breaks out worse than oily skin. Then your bangs will just spread the bacteria around more. Your problem is not the oil, it's the dirt and heat. So wash your face, and keep the bangs to the side.
Are you a guy or a girl? Because if you are a girl you can wear powder over your face to stop the shine and oil, I guess you could do that if your a guy too... but I'm not sure what your friends would say if they saw you wearing makeup. If your a guy go buy something called a toner. It will kind of dry out your skin so it's less oily. They sell it in the facial care section, and they make a ';guy kind'; even though its just in different packaging...
