Anyways, you can buy special washed for oily skin, just avoid cleansers for dry or combination skin.
Reply:Home Remedy Treatments for Oily Skin





In most cases, oily skin can be treated at home. However, you'll want to call a doctor if you develop acne that doesn't respond to home remedies or notice any sudden and/or unusual change in your skin (if it goes from dry to oily seemingly overnight but it isn't time for your period, for example). Otherwise, try these helpful tips:





Adding a drop or two of dishwashing detergent to your regular soap can help cut through the oil.

can help cut through the oil.





Keep skin squeaky clean. As anyone with oily skin knows, the oilier the skin, the dirtier the skin looks and feels. To help combat this feeling, it's important to keep the skin clean by washing it at least twice a day. Some doctors recommend detergent-type soap. You might even try adding a drop or two of dishwashing detergent to your regular soap; the extra kick will act as a solvent for the oil. However, other dermatologists say detergent soaps are just too harsh even for oily facial skin, recommending instead twice-daily cleansing with a glycerin soap. If you try a detergent soap and find it too irritating for your skin, try the glycerin variety, generally available over the counter in the skin-care aisle of most drugstores.





Try aloe vera. Apply aloe vera gel (available in many drugstores as well as health-food stores) to your face to absorb oil and clear out pores. Dab the gel onto your face two to three times a day (especially after washing), then let it dry. The gel will feel more refreshing if it's cool, so keep it in the refrigerator.





Wipe with astringents. Wiping the oily parts of the face with rubbing alcohol or a combination of alcohol and acetone (a mixture found in products such as Seba-Nil Liquid Cleanser) can help degrease your skin just as well as more expensive, perfumey astringents. Many drugstores even sell premoistened, individually wrapped alcohol wipes that you can keep in your purse for quick touchups throughout the day.





Carry tissues. Even if you don't have an astringent with you, paper facial tissues can help soak up excess oils in a pinch. You can also purchase special oil-absorbing tissues at the cosmetics counter that are very effective in removing excess oil between cleansings.





Chill out with cold water rinses. If you don't want to apply chemicals to your skin, simply splashing your face with cold water and blotting it dry a couple of times a day can help remove some excess oil.





Ban moisturizers. While advertisements are forever urging women to apply facial moisturizers, oily-skinned folks shouldn't use them -- their skin is already doing a more than adequate job of keeping itself supple and warding off dryness. Applying a sunscreen to the face before going outdoors in daylight is still a very good idea, however; check labels for products that are designed for oily skin or that are noncomedogenic (meaning they'll be less likely to plug up pores, which is especially important for oily skin that is already more susceptible to acne blemishes).





Make a scrub. Giving your face a very light scrub can remove excess surface oil. Try this almond honey scrub: Mix a small amount of almond meal (ground almonds) with honey. Then gently massage (don't scrub) the paste onto your skin with a hot washcloth. Rinse thoroughly. You can also make a scrub from oatmeal mixed with aloe vera. Rub gently onto the skin, leave on for 15 minutes, then wash off thoroughly. If you suffer from acne on your face, however, you should probably skip the scrub, since it can aggravate your already-irritated skin.





Masque it. Masques applied to the face can reduce oiliness. Clay masques are available, or you can mix Fuller's Earth (available at pharmacies) with a little water to make a paste. Apply to the face and leave on for about 20 minutes before thoroughly rinsing off.





Use water-based cosmetics. Better yet, learn to live without makeup -- or at least without foundation -- since it will simply add to and trap the oil against your skin and set the stage for blemishes. If you feel you must use makeup, choose water-based products over oil-based types, and opt for spot concealers rather than coating your entire face. In general, stick with powder or gel blushers, and avoid cream foundations.


Pull your hair back. It's best to keep hair away from the face if you are having issues with your skin. Often oily hair and oily skin go together.





Don't touch. Keep your hands off your face during the day. Hands deliver excess oil and dirt.





These simple, effective strategies can make all the difference in your complexion. Still, sometimes a person needs a little extra help. Go to the next page to learn natural home remedies that you can find in your very own kitchen.

Reply:i have oily skin 2.. but your cleanser might b 2 drying.. see just bc u have oily skin, doesnt mean u should use a drying gel cleanser.. bc gel cleansers r more likely 2 strip ur skin and make it so dry that ur skin kinda freaks and creates more oil 2 compensate for what was stripped.... what u should try is cetaphil.. its very gentle and doesnt strip ur skin, just cleans it... that should help some, and then during the day the oiul sheets will help sa well.. but the cleanser is a very good place 2 start





other suggestions besides cetaphil are...





avons meet mark comforting milk cleanser


johnsons baby wash ( i use this in the morning, and it works awesome, idk how i came about it tho lol )





* now at night u can use a different cleanser.. it can be gel 2, but a gentle one... at nigh i use neutrogenas fresh foaming cleanser, it removes my makeup and deep cleans, i also use avons meet mark purifying gel cleanser at night... these 2 are gel cleansers, and they r the only ones that havent dried out my skin





i used 2 use cleansers for acne and oil control thinking it would help, but since those help "dry up" it made everything so much worse.. but i now use skincare that ppl with dry/normal skin would use, and thats helps so much!





hope this helps, i know i wrote alot... im actually getting ready 2 do a review of the neutrogena, and avons cleansers , ima b posting them at justmakemeblush.blogspot.com





*please be careful of alcohol, things with that in it easily over dry ur skin..





seems 2 make sense tho right? by overdrying ur skin, ur skin fights and reacts back by trying 2 replace what u stripped.. but if u keep ur face clean, but balanced( meaning u dont see any shine, but ur skin still has moisture, and is soft) ur skin wont freak bc it has its moisture still :)





also! u should do a scrub, but every other day at the most (unless its a more gentle daily scrub) bc u can aggravate ur skin causing more oil plus possible breakouts.. and once a week u should do a mask, i love using queen helens mint julip masks, ppl love it !
Reply:An oily skin , as the name implies, is one in which the sebaceous or oil-producing glands are over active. As surface grease tends to attract dirt, an oily skin acquires a dirty surface film , that needs to be removed daily. For more details on oily skin log on to http://useinfo-oilyskin.blogspot.com/
