really oily skin

naturalbeauty · 09-23-2008, 03:27 AM

Hi there, I have really oily skin. I used to break out a lot but I was also taking B.C pills but since I've stopped, I don't break out as often. I still have very oily skin though especially my T-Zone. Any recommendations on a good skincare cleanser and moisturizer (with some SPF protection) that can reduce the oiliness? Thanks!

I use Neutrogena oil free cleanser/face wash. It's pretty good stuff!

I recommend beauticontrol products. They do wonders for problem skin. I'm a young(ish) male and I have dealt with oily skin like you wouldn't believe, but not anymore. The biggest leap for me was realizing that drying my skin out was the last thing I wanted to do. Keep your skin moisturized and clean/tone/repair with gentle products. Good Luck

Neutrogena 2% salicylic pink grapefruit wash
I skip the toner - makes my skin oilier
PCA A&C serum 23 or Bioelements Quick Refiner both have retinol and fruit acids so a sunscreen is def needed to prevent sun damage.
I follow with Pevonia oily skin cream. I put a small dot on each cheek and one on my forehead and one on my chin and lightly smooth out to cover entire face. Then i follow with a few small dots of MD Forte oil-free SPF 40 sunscreen.
Glo-minerals has a well-reputed oil-free mineral make-up line. I have been pleased with their concealer and powder bronzer. Good Luck!

Thanks for the tip. I have very oily skin too and I am currently using Bare Minerals make up but this leaves my skin shiny. I have tried all kinds of foundation and mineral make up was my only hope

I want to try Glo-minerals make up. Do you know where I can buy it in the UK?
Thanks again.

I'm not sure...I buy mine online from Dermstore.com but I'm not sure if they deliver in the UK. My advice is to google Glominerals and find a site that will deliver to you.
