I have a very oily face and i hate the shine. I have tried so many things to get rid of it but nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions to what i can do? I'm desperate. Thanks!

Cornsilk pressed powder will absorb oil. Oil blotting tissues from The Body Shop will absorb oil. Wash and moisturize only with water based products. Don't use baby oil or petroleum jelly or cold cream, they all will make your skin more oily. Once a week give yourself a hydrating mask, again with water based ingredients. When your skin relaizes that it is hydrated enough, it won't be so oily. There is a rosewater toner at Bath & Bodyworks by Bigelo & Co, and I would suggest using the Aveeno Facial Bar to wash your face. It is specifically made for this type of skin, it is gentle and won't "strip" the oil off (good stuff), and don't use abrasives on your face, only gentle products, hopefully you'll find "for oily and sensitive skin" in the same product. Hope this helps!

My friend had a Mary Kay party one night where we did facials and something called satin hands. I have dry skin, but the rest of the girls had oily skin. Anyway I thought the Mary Kay products worked great it left my face looking clear and I loved the stuff SOOOO much. I could instantly tell the difference. All the girls were wanting to purchase the products. It's about $35 for the cleanser and moisturizer. It works wonders.

you could wash your face daily with special soaps or use strawberries i know it sounds crazy but its a good way to remove dark spots and oily and shine. Just get a strawberry and rub around your face and leave it for 30min. Do this every 2 days, 1 a day. Trust me it works and is cheap and natural.

You should wash your face before you go to sleep and in the morning. Then throughout the day, you should use rice papers to get rid of the oil on your face.

apricot scrub for oily skin helps me very much.
helps prevent from ance and blackheads too.
also, biore face washes and scrubs for oily skin work for me too.
i think just about any face wash works for your skin if it helps control your oily skin.
