Oily skin!?

Question

I have really oily skin and if I didnt wash my face atlleast twice a day boy I'd be in trouble. When I go out I put cover up on because I have always have several several Zits but nothing horrbile like those nasty acne scars and those icks EWW. anyway ....Like I said when I go out my face it will start to get really oily. I can just go to a public bathroom and wash my face and then I wouild have to apply my make up again. I don't know what to do. I can't just wipe it off with my hands because that will cause more zits. I don't know what to do. It's embarrasing. Im currently on antibotics for my zits but when my zits are all gone will my skin still be horribly oily? HELP ME OUT!

Answer 1

I'm not sure what to tell you about preventing/stopping the oiliness, but you should try those oil absorbing sheets that you can use while you have makeup on. It just absorbs the oil and leaves your makeup.

Other brands make them too, but that's one of them.

Hi,
I hate my oily skin too. I have a friend that worked at Estee Lauder and she said that I needed a good moisturizer. She said that my face was too dry and so my skin was producing extra oil to combat the dryness.
So, I bought a good moisturizer and use an oil-free foundation and I find that I don't have as much problem with oily skin as I used to. Be sure to wash your face every night - it's not good for your skin to sleep in make-up (it can't breathe). You may have to try several moisturizers before you find the one that works best for you. As far as foundation, Revlon makes a ColorStay foundation that is oil-free. I love it.
Depending on how old you are, acne is usually a fact of life for teenagers and young adults (13-20) so I wouldn't worry about it too much - your skin should mellow out as you get older. Take care of it now and you will thank yourself later in life.
Good Luck!

Answer 3

stop wearing foundation and/or cover up. it isn't necessary and it tends to look like paste when one is trying to cover up acne. try a light face powder instead. it should help a bit with the oil and use an astringent if it doesn't bother your acne.

Try Proactive or if you can't afford it, get Clean&Clear! They both worked really well for me! I HAD oily skin too but, since I used proactive im fine!
