I have the same skin type as you. & it's not a result of eating greasy foods or lack of water. I drink a couple of litres of water a day, and I RARELY eat greasy foods! Your best bet to help get rid of the shine is to wash your face every morning & night with a cleanser of some sort. The best way to get rid of shine is to use some kind of powder. Loose, foundation or clear powders work great! Even baby powder helps (just be careful you don't make yourself look too pale & washed out with the baby poweder! hehe)

no, actually, eating greasy foods wont make your skin greasy. studies have already been done that shows no link to those types of beliefs. but yes water does do skin well because it is already a natural element in the body

everyone's skin type is different, and u may just have oily skin. but keep in mind u are what u eat, so if u eat oily greasy foods, your skin will be that way. also drinking water is supposed to be really good for your skin
