[skin concerns] Quit birth control and my face is now an oil slick. HELP!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Help me! I have been on birth control for 5+ years, since I was in highschool. 5 months ago I switched from birth control to an IUD and I have experienced some interesting side effects to the hormones changing including my skin, which was "typical" (a bit oily around my nose with a minor surface pimple every now and then) to OILY.By the end of the work day it is so oily it shines like its dripping wet, and an oil absorbing paper would be useless. It looks terrible and feels gross. I am also getting deep pimples that rise up over numerous days and take ages to heal after (hydro colloidal band aids are my life saver).I wash my face morning and night with clean and clear foaming cleanser, and moisturize with Aveeno daily moisturizer (SPF during the day). I miss my old skin :( Does anybody have any advice for me?
