Answer 1

Try adding more water to your diet and using an oil free cleanser if you're not already doing so. Also you can keep a pack of clean&clear's oil absorbing sheets; they're great for getting rid of that oily look to give your face a fresh appearance

Answer 2

Actually, oily skin is often caused by skin that is too dry and so the skin produces more oil than needed. washing oyur face compulsively is probably not the best choice. wash in the morning and use a good oilfree moisturizer (mary kay has a good "oil free hydrating jell"). though i am not an expert, i will say "try not to use foundation every day" because it clogspores and keeps the skin from breathing. I actually agree with using a light powder that you can apply with a brush. and those oil absorbing papers? those are handy. and wash again at night, using a moisturizer.

Answer 3

I use a regular bar soap like Ivory, and it really reduces oil without making your skin really tense. A lot of the acne specialized face washes can make it tingly and tight, but the Ivory soap doesn't do that. After that I use witch hazel (in a mixture with alcohol and aloe) to make my skin more toned. My skin is very sensitive and blotchy, so I also use a simple skin tone powder to make my skin more refined and smooth.
I don't know if this helps, but good luck anyway!

hmm...first, keep your face clean always. wash your face with a mild soap. an unscented soap would be better. then, if you're outside and you could feel the oil shining your face again, you could use one of those oil absorbing films or paper. it doesn't really remove all of the oil, but it hepls minimize the supershine.
it's okay to have oily face since you won't get too much wrinkles when you get old.

don't forget to moisturize. yes you read that right. moisturize. oily skinned people also get dry skin especially in air conditioned rooms. so make sure to apply WATER based moisturizers when you're about to expose yourself to very cold areas.(don't worry,water based moisturizers won't make your face shinier and oilier)

Answer 5

The best way is that don't put any cream. Have Green leafy veggies. This allows your skin to be healthy. Wash your face with a good face wash and you will look beautiful.

Answer 6

don't listen to n8tive 45 2006, cover up is just as bad as putting baby oil on your face!!! try washing your face 1-3 times a day with an oil free soap. wash it every morning when you wake up, when you take a shower and right before you go to bed. hope i helped!!!

Answer 7

you are apply some gel to control the t-zone oil. (it is different than day cream.) when you find yourself oily, u can apply the product to absorb the oil. they will become dry quickly. besides, you can also select some day cream which have control-oil function.) For me, i always apply day cream then t-mat (fm Chanel, not expensive. trust me) and sunscreeen.
always bring oil-absorbing paper in yr handbags, it does help a lot while you can't apply the gel. and ;) more convenient

Answer 8

Drink a lot of water and avoid junk food. Wash your face with a oil-free soap.

Answer 9
