usually at the start of the day, i look quite fresh & active. but as the day goes by my skin starts to get REALLY oily and i perspire a lot. i feel very tired if i'm not comfortable and it affects my mood. so how to get rid of them? can you name me as many ways as possible?

THANKS!!!

For years I had the same problem you describe, until (for other reasons) I was tested for allergies. Finding I was very allergic to corn and soy, I eliminated those two foods from my diet.
--The heavy oil of my skin became normal, and average shampoos could clean my hair. I no longer needed to shampoo with dish detergant to remove the oil.
--The excessive perspiration (often dripping from my elbow) became much less, so that my underarms were barely damp.

It is possible that you may be allergic to something that is causing these symptoms. Being evaluated and treated by an allergist made the difference for me!

First off use anti-perspirant, instead of deodorant. Deodorant only masks the smell where the other helps tame the perspiration. Use something like witch hazel after washing. It gets rid of the oiliness w/o drying out your skin. I'd also use corn starch in place of baby powder & bathe with either safeguard or dr. brommer's peppermint castile soap. I love dr. brommer's when the weather's hot. Castile is a ph balanced soap so it doesn't dry your skin out but deep cleans it & the peppermint opens the pores so instead of sweating even the slightest breeze is cooling. Also use that anti-perspirant on your feet to stay comfortable. I'm a retired cosmetologist so I've worked with both types of skin.

The skin type that you have cant be changed though but yes,you can still be gorgeous if u wish to follow a few guidelines.You should drink plenty of water as it drains the toxins out of body and skin as well.avoid having junk foods and carbonated beverages too often.If u r habituated in putting on some sunscreen lotion ..do that after washing your face with splashed water at least half an hour before going out.and splash some water on your face just before going out.U can dab a tinge of compact powder if u feel uncomfortable and feel sweaty.Don't put on some creamy base on a sunny morning...if possible use water resistant make up and splash water on your face as often as possible.follow these guide lines ..am sure you'll be the next gorgeous thing on earth to look at!

I have oily skin as well, try tying your hair back when doing physical activity, keeping room temperature as to avoid sweat or cold sweat, try changing shampoo, conditioner, and face wash, and wipe your face with a wet paper towel when you get the chance.

I have this problem too. Not sure what causes it... You can get operations to fix the sweating bit, if it is a real problem. I also just found (after about 8 years of embarrasment) that Mitchum is the perfect deoderant, and it helps A LOT!!! Hope this helps.
