p.s. does anyone know how i can get my makeup to stay on too cause having oily skin doesnt help

Answer 1

you are pretty normal, actually. what i suggest is using a really gentle face wash such as phisoderm. use a small amount of moisturizer that is oil free along with the rest of your acne treatment. you could use the phisoderm & lotion at night with your acne treatment, then in the morning skip the phisoderm & lotion and use your normal routine-- as long as your face doesn't seem to have the dryness in the daytime. definately look into a new moisturizer that is acne formulated. you might have to part with a few extra $$... but worth it.

as for your makeup-- apply a light foundation with a disposable applicator (sponge) so you get an even coat and don't rub your hands all over your face (bad for acne). then, apply your cover-up. then, use a poofy brush & some loose powder to set your make-up. you will only have to do minor touch ups at most through out the day. make sure you use oil free formulas that are for acne prone skin.

Answer 2

Go natural. Try washing your face with high quality vegetable or nut oils such as extra virgin olive oil or almond oil. The natural oil will help the dry/oily condition balance itself out, so that your skin is no longer oily or dry. To test this out, pour some extra virgin olive oil in your hand (size of a dime) rub it all over your hands then rinse with warm water. Pat your hands dry with a towel. Once they are completely dry, consider how nice (and greaseless) they feel. Then try with your face.
