I have oily skin…help?

posted in Uncategorized |

I am a girl in my teens and I have very oily skin in my nose/forehead area. I wash my face at least 3 times a day with an acne facial scrub. I barely ever get pimples but my skin gets very oily between washings. This isnt anything I will outgrow my mom is 39 and has the same problem as well as my aunt who is 32. My question is are there any tips/products that can dry up my skin so I dont have to frequently wash my face? I already use scrubs with benzoyl peroxide so they keep my skin dry temporarily but ugh I hate being out in public unable to maintain the grease. Its not too terrible but enough to make me feel gross for the rest of the day

Not a complete answer but the more you try to dry out your skin the more your skin is going to think it needs to oil back up…

An oatmeal/egg white/honey mask works really well for that. Also in between washes you could use some of those oil blotting sheets. They sell them at drugstores walmart and makeup counters and get oil off without removing makeup.

have you tried a good astringent on your face? Not only does it lessen the oil but it feels nice and refreshing. Also try rice blotting papers for when you are out in public. thy are little papers to blot your face with and they absorb most oily parts of face. Good Luck. Also try not to eat too many fatty foods like fries and stuff…..

READ ME
stop doing 3 times a day.
1.only day and night
2.try to keep your hair out of your face cause its extra oily and at least try to do that when your at least home and not out with friends or guys trying to look pretty with straight hair all in ya face or something
3.wash your hair like every other day to every 2 days.. i know 25 times a month is supposed to be good bcuz the hair is extra oily and some of the oil comes down from your hair on to yo face OO
4.if u dry your skin too too much then your skin will produce even more sebum becuz the skin is like oh shiz the skin is dry guess i gotta make alot more oil.
5.i recommend neutrogena oilfree acne wash pink grapefruit foaming scrub. i too have oily skin i believe… and this made my skin a lil dryish.. i had to put lotion on afterwards… and according to the way u make your skin sound like.. this stuff is perfect for you. REMEMBER WASH ONLY TWICE A DAY EVEN IF YOUR OILY IN AFTERNOON IF ANYTHING JUST TAKE A SHOWER IN THE AFTERNOONS..THE WATER FROM THE SHOWER SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH TO LAST TILL NIGHT TIME WHERE U GET TOO WASH AGAIN WOO GO U
6.try drinking ya healthy 68 glasses of water a day… its not that hard.
well sorry for writing so much. im pretty confident in what ive just told ya.. n if you put ya mind into it and do the things i told ya… things should be good for ya and remember that things take time.. so dont give up if u dont get fast results. just be patient and i hope the best for you. :
