Q: Oily Skin

My skin is extremely oily. I use proactive in hopes of eliminating the oilyess and acne of course. But, my sweat glands are outta control and when I sweat (which most of the time I do, and very quickly no matter the situation just as long as the heat is well above 70) the sweat dries up and here comes the oils.

I use the same acne product on my back, but my back is not as oily as my face. Is there any solution to get rid of extreme oilyness?

I know a homemade fix that should absorb some of the oils crushed oats mixed w/ lowfat yogurt and smashed cucumber...Leave on face for like 15 mins and then rinse thoroughly

another thing that should help w/ the sweat....Baking soda or was it baking powder idk which one check it up on google to double check...But not for the face it's for the body
