Oily face!

Posted by ms_minnamouse (My Page) on

I take really good care of my skin and don't use any products with oil in them and don't use anything that will clog my pores, etc. I'm very careful but I don't go over bored either. Even with all that, my face is really oily. Not long even right after I wash it.

I've used washes for oily skin but there's no difference.

Can someone recommend either a really good (not too expensive!) product or suggest a home remedy?

RE: Oily face!

I would try Dove soap and just wash it 2-3 times a day and see if it improves.

If you want a little something more, I'd try a product with Salicylic acid in it and use that once or twice a day after washing with Dove. You can find one in your cleanser/acne aisle at the store. By the way, salicylic acid is in the aspirin family, so don't use if you have aspirin allergies.

Whatever you end of trying, don't be discourage if at first you breakout. Often when you switch your cleansing/skin routines, you skin will break out... doesn't mean the products will always cause you breakouts, it's often just your skin adjusting.

Don't know how old you are, but if you're older, I would also suggest a light moisurizer with sunblock for daywear.
