Clinque question about greasy face....?

Question

i've been using clinque 1,2,3 for about 4 weeks now and by the end of school my face looks and feels really greasy. i use the very dry to dry combination. Do you think i should switch to less dry? but i cant exactly pay for it. sooo..Any other clinique products that will stop the greasyness? ideas??

Answer 1

If your face looks greasy throughout the day, you should not be using very dry to dry combo. Go to the Clinique counter and talk to them about which formula you should use. Go to Wal-mart or Walgreens and buy some blotting papers. They are little papers that you swipe across your face to absorb the oil (without screwing up your makeup). Also, make sure you are using pressed and loose powders for your correct skin type (again, ask the lady at the Clinique counter).

Answer 2

individually, i like blotting papers, as they are the only gadget that absorbs oil when you have comprehensive your makeup that isn't upload any texture or disturb the applying. =) yet there are different thoughts: there's a sparkling gel containing an severe oil absorbing substance called Clinac O.C., a molecule that absorbs oil and shine. you will desire a prescription out of your dermatologist, whether that is fairly state-of-the-paintings and lasts for quite a few hours. My all-time widespread powder is M.A.C Blot Powder, it incredibly is provided in 3 impartial tones (gentle, medium and dark). i exploit it with a small brush for the subtlest coverage or objective aspects like the facets of the nostril, to illustrate. For wider aspects i like to apply a velour puff. Blot powder works noticeably properly for smoothing out blush, too. if youin case you have utilized too lots, swipe the powder over the blush to diffuse the section, the end result's soft and matte, yet no longer too matte. I additionally recently got here across a product from Christian Dior's new iOd line, Aqua Powder. that's an excellent, white, translucent powder that transforms right into a mattifying fluid on the floor. It has a superthin texture, too, fairy dirt.

i honestly do not like Clinique since I have had the same kind of problems with my skin...try switching to the Cetaphil line or the Almay line since they are more affordable. if not, skip the 3rd step with the Clinique combo that you already are using and use step 1 and 2 and instead of step 3 use an oil free moisturizer-like Dove or Oil of Olay-since they are lighter plus they are way cheaper...or you can reduce the amount of lotion u use for the last step: dot small amount on forehead, cheecks, and chin and that is it-dont go all crazy with the lotion!

Answer 4

I also use Clinique 3-step skin care, my skin is naturally oily so I use Oily-Very Oily 3-step skin care, twice a day and afterwards I apply the pore minimizer - refining serum and then I use the pore minimizer t-zone shine control on my forehead and nose only, and I scrub twice a week and I drink lots of water...and it works for me, my skin looks matte and oil-free all day long.

Answer 5

"Clinque" consultants very often prescribe a regimen that is too strong for people. If your product is too strong, it is stripping too much oil from the surface of your skin, thereby, in essence telling your oil producing glands that they need to produce more oil, and there is your problem. If you like "Clinique", try using their mildest formulations and go from there.

Answer 6

Why are you using a dry skin formula when you have oily skin...? Use a cleanser and toner made for oily/combination skin.

Answer 7

Add wiping your face with a cotton ball and alcohol once a day. before you go to bed
