Skin allergies advice 

You have not mentioned what kind of allergy you have. If it is a food allergy then it would be wise to eliminate that food product altogether or minimize its consumption. If the allergy is due to some product which you use to wash face like some soap or lotions or creams, then make a habit to read all the ingredients in the product and identify the common ones which trouble you. Keep your face clean as far as possible, as you have mentioned that you have to use oil-free products it seems your skin is oily. Wash your face often with plain water and pat it dry. Consult a specialist if feel the allergic reactions like itching or swelling for immediate medical assistance. It would be wise to identify the cause for allergies present for exact treatment.
