My skin tends to be more dry in the winter, but I still occaisonally get shiny by then end of the day. I hate it, but I really don't want to have to wipe my face with my hands. Does anyone use those little papers that you jsut blot off the oil with? WHat brands are good?

Sounds like the fancy-shmancy brands are no better than the cheap drugstore brands..is that true?
Who knows? Some older brands possibly haven't got new technology but work for some people. Some of the products that are found in drugstores may be owned by larger big department store brands and may be using their old formulations. The latest I read is that the new target group for skin care products will be directed towards 8 - 11 year olds. What do you think of that?

Have you seen the new Dove commercial showing how they transform an "ordinary" woman into a glamourous cover girl. Quite interesting.

I haven't seen the Dove commercial, but I have heard of girls who use those toilet -protector- cover- thingeys from the restrooms as facial blotting paper! Any port in a storm!



I've heard Dove products are good as they are gentle to the skin. I have only used their soap though which is very mild and does not leave your skin dry. I'm yet to try their other skincare products.

Wow...i would never dream of doing that, although I guess if you're not taking someone else's off the toilet seat it's not THAT bad. Still!
Femior oil absorbing paper will remove excess oil form the face. Good Luck.
GATSBY oil blotting sheets are the best ever, and I've tried just about every brand going. When you remove them from the packaging they open up to the size of an index card, which is an absolute blessing for anyone on the "oily" end of the combination skin spectrum:

Mari, Pumi, and other people struggling with oily skin. I used to have excessive oil but my oily skin is at bay on its way to normal because of Retin-A 0.1% gel form, the strongest one, it works, and regular exfoliation salicylic acid 2% and up at a pH of under 2 relieves clogged pores and reduces oil -skincarecentral.biz has a good salicylic acid product. When it comes to oily skin, its treatable with retinoids or a retinol based product over time ur oil lessens and the glands burn out. Thats the best bet according to scientific research.



the production of oil happens beneath the surface of the skin. Some of the better quality oil blotting papers are coated with powder that helps absorb more sebum and keeps the skin dry.

To balance sebum production, oily skin care treatments should contain jojoba, a kind of wax that has proven benefits in treating acne and reducing sebum production.
