Oily skin dilemma!

Im having dramas with my skin… Ive stopped taking the pill so its much oilier than it used to be, which is ok cos Im not getting pimples or anything just oil. But I am always SO shiny, and putting sunscreen on just makes me shinier! I have tried mineral powder which works great but when Im working out outdoors or swimming its very easy to sweat off. Does anyone know of a sunscreen for oily skin that doesn’t clog your pores?

    Miakat maybe try the Megan Gale invisible zinc sunscreen? I think that`s supposed to be for oily skin (and not good for dry skin!).
    .
    As for combatting shine the rest of the time – can`t rave enough about the Dermalogica clearing mattifier – only use it on oily areas (I use mainly just on my forehead) as it can be drying, however it`s great at keeping your skin matte – apply under moisturiser/makeup. Works a treat and you don`t need much! 🙂

    As far as I know, all sunscreens will give a slight shine… Maybe try using a powder foundation that has a SPF?
    That might help combat the shine, and using a primer and setting powder over the top should help it to stop sweating off…
