[Skin Concerns] Y'all, my skin is SO oily and I need help!

Skin Concerns

Title says a lot of it - I've always had pretty normal skin (acne during puberty), not super oily but not dry, and maybe a few pimples a month but nothing too bad.

Recently, I have noticed HUGE amounts of oil coming off my skin. I'm not going to gross anyone out with the details, but it's A LOT. I'm using unscented/no dye body wash and shampoo, and generally wash my face once a day in the shower with that body wash (it's Dove sensitive skin for those curious). I have had to start using damp cotton pads to wipe at my face to get the buildup off, but that's really the only other thing I do to my face (I really don't touch it all that much).

I haven't changed anything in my routine recently. I don't eat a lot of oily foods, and I only really ever wear makeup about 2 days a week (the other days are no/light makeup). I take my makeup off with "nighttime soothing" makeup remover wipes (name is not coming to mind right now).

It's gotten to the point where I'm very ready to ask for help, as I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to taking care of my skin!
