Answer #1

dont forget diet! if you have intakes of fatty and fried foods you will end up with oily skin too, tried and tested lol, go for fruit and vegs for a couple of weeks and youll notice teh difference and also drink lots of water. it worked for me.

Answer #2

I found what has helped me, is swimming at the beach. Just dont go on a windy day or you get sand in your face which causes pimples.. Dont just dunk your head in the water once, go for an actual swim in the stuff.

Answer #3

Thankyou, but the nearest beach is about an hour and a half away. Do yu Have anymore suggestions?

Answer #4

You need to moisturize your face after washing it, because it gets dry after washing and your skin will overcompensate for the dryness and produce oil. I know, oily face + moisturizers seem like a horrible idea at first, but you need to ‘train’ your skin to reduce the amount of oil produced every day by using facial moisturizer. It will stabilize eventually.

Also try using more gentle facial wash brands to prevent your face from drying out after washing in the first place.

In the meantime, facial blotters can help soak up the excess oil.

One more thing, I know having an oily face can seem like a bad thing, but it’s not all bad. People with oily faces tend to have younger-looking skin as they age, compared to people with dry skin, because dry skin is unhealthy and wrinkles more.
