Oily skin problem, how do I stop it?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have a good cleansing routine or tips that really work?

It can often be worsened through your diet. Everyone is different but sugar can generally make you have more oily skin, even if you have naturally oily skin so you can reduce the amount of chocolate, sweets or cheese you eat. I use products that directly say they are for oily skin. Charcoal products work wonders for me, and products with salicylic acid. I do a face mask with bentonite clay at least once a week with vinegar and tea tree which helps a lot and I ex foliate daily. Hope that's helpful.

Thank you! That was very helpful. It sucks so bad though that you can't eat a lot of delicious things

[Andreaplum]

It really does, but the sacrifice must be made! Haha, especially in the summer, I don't want to look like a melting candle.

[Asker]

True haha. My acne has settled a bit and my skin looks much better, but it is still oily.

Charcoal FTW!

-Use cleansers meant for oily skin or containing salicylic acid.
-Reduce intake of sugar, salt, and fried food.
-Add a drop of tea tree oil to your moisturizer.
-Use toner or an astringent.

I have oily skin and large pores, so I totally get it. This is what I use as my daily face wash, and it is cost effective & easy to find:

Thank you! I'll search for it in town tomorrow. Has it completely taken your problem away?

[Prof_Don]

Yup, completely. Just make sure to drink plenty of water and not eat too much junk food! :-D
