how to prevent or stop an oily face?

Answer 1

you're a dude, so you want something you can't tell you're wearing, right? there is this stuff called an oil mattifier and it is about the same as a lotion and it keeps your face from getting oily and shiny. i use it under makeup usually and i get mine from mary kay but i'm sure you could get some online : )

Answer 2

Sebum is a wax like substance produced in glands just below the surface of the skin. These are called sebaceous glands, and open into the hair folicle (the opening through which the hair grows). Sebum in normal amounts is a valuablesecretion, which helps to lubricate the skin and keep it supple, and also gives some protection from the outer environment. Sebum only becomes a problem when there is too little or too much of it, giving rise to dry or oily skin conditions. When the skin is excessively oily the hair folicles may become blocked by excess sebum combined with dirt and particles of dead skin cells flaking away at the surface. Bacteria feed on the plug of sebum and debris, and the hair folicle becomes inflamed and infected and a spot is produced. When an area of skin is affected by a number of spots and this condition persists, it is known as acne. Over production of sebum is common in adolescents, when the whole hormonal system is going through a stage of upheaval, though people whose skins are oily in youth will often retain a normal and attractive skin texture for longer than those whose skin was dry in youth, since sebum production declines with age. Two or three aromatherapy oils, most notably Geranium and Lavender, have the property of balancing both over and under production of sebum, and so can be used to help both excessively dry and very greasy skins. Among the oils which are useful for correcting very oily skins, the most effective is Bergamot, followed by Cedarwood, Grapefruit and Juniper. To help with over dry skins, lacking in natural lubrication, Camomile, Jasmine, Neroli and Rose oils are all good choices, but the best of all is probably Sandalwood. Any of these oils can be used, preferably as a facial massage oil, but also in creams and lotions for use between massage treatments. For dry skins a very emollient carrier oil, such as oil of avocado or peach kernel oil, is very helpful. Keep in mind that aromatherapy oils can be very strong and need to be diluted in a carrier oil, so you would need to gain some basic knowledge of these oils before using them.

Wash your face twice a day (morning and before going to bed) with a mild cleanser, tone, and moisturize using products for oily skin. Avoid using facial scrubs.
