How can I control my super oily skin?

How can I control my super oily skin?

posted in Society & Cultures |

I am a teenager with a healthy diet and I know that acne and oily skin is normal and such but I think that my face is just too oily. Like the amount of oil on my face is comparable to what you get out of Saudi Arabia… My face is nice and smooth and matte only for a few minutes after I was my face. It gets a bit oily throughout my tzone around lunch but by the end of the day my whole face is almost dripping. Ive used so many cleansers like milk of magnesia Clinique acne wash Neutrogena oilcontrol wash Clean and Clear advanced formual treatment AcneFree cleanser YesToTomatoes organic cleanser and others. I usually get things with higher levels of salicylic acid because with benzoyl peroxide my skin gets really irritated. I also always use moisturizer because if I dont my skin becomes really dry and flaky but with a gross layer of oil over it. Anyways Ive also tried many facial primers mattifying gels mattifying powders etc. but they never work either. Is there anything that can help with my oily skin?
I have been to a dermatologist. She told me to use benzoyl peroxide which didnt work at all and said it was probably just genetic…

    See a dermatologist theres nothing any of us could tell you that would be more valuable than what a dermatologist would say and they get paid to do it so thatd be your best bet. Good luck

    Benzoyl peroxide controls really well but it can irritate the skin specially if your skin is sensitive.

    U have to take care of ur skin. Use a Scrub and mask once a week. Make sure ur washing ur face am/pm and use a toner. Would also be a good idea to look into doing chemical peels. That helps to control oily skin. Keep ur powered compact handy and just touch up during the day. This may sound weird but make sure ur hair is clean too. Especially if it hangs in ur face.

    since youre still a teenager try using the natural ways to moisturize your skinesp your face. there are so many benefits we can get from itlike cucumbergrate it and add honey. then you can apply that on your skin.leave for about 5minsthen rinse it off. try also tomatoesthe lemon juice oatmeal and egg white. if you have pimplesnever pop the water out.just leave it there and wash your face at least 4to5 times a day with germicidal soap..itll help coz i have an oily skin too.

    Maybe your skin is trying to over compinsate? How many times do u wash ur face? Water dries out the skin. So does salicylic acid. If your skin is being stripped of oils too much or too fast it could try compinsating by trippling the oil amounts on ur face. For example if ur skin is constantly expireincing harshness and is losing its natural oil your body will readjust itself by tripling or doubling your oil amount. So if u do wash ur face a lot I would reccomen yoou stop. Dont wash it too often and if u do just use water. I know it sounds wierd but I have amazing skin now so it worked for me and is legit. Also try oil absorbing sheets.
