Step #1. Cleansing for oily skin:
Cleansing  is a must step for every skin because no matter what you do you can't keep your skin away from dust, harmful sun rays, wind and even stress.

You can apply rose water as many time as you feel it wont give any side effect....Where as for giving an extra glow and protection to your face you can always get a light toner such as Neutrogena or Pro Active toner. It never gives any side effect for any skin type.

Step #4. Moisturizing for oily skin:
Moisturizing is the very important step for oily. If skin is fully moisturized pores will not collect dust hence black heads and open pores will not be created.

• Apply two times a day followed by toner. 
• Use lightweight and oil free moisturizers. 
• Avoid creamy, greasy or thick creams. light lotions like baby lotion, ponds, dove etc are best for oly skin.
• There are plenty of moisturizer out there for every skin type just try again and again and find the best one for you.
