What kind of skincare do you use? I am so confused by all the products out there! I'm in my 30s, but yet I still need something for oily skin. Anyone really like the stuff they are using? I could use some help!
I've been using Neutrogena's Pore Refining cleanser since February, I think. For the first month or two, my skin was better than it's ever been -- not oily, no breakouts. A few months in, however, the oiliness is back, though still no breakouts.
It's definitely worth trying, especially since it's not very expensive.
I don't tend to use moisturizer, because even the oil-free ones tend to make my skin freak out.
Mary Kay has several products for oily skin. (of course being a consultant I may be viewed as biased however) I used Mary Kay for 20 years b/f becoming a consultant. The products are not expensive and you get personal information just for yours skin type. Also if you are not happy then you can get your money back (try taking back something used to the store). The Timewise products are not tough on the skin. I found that alot of products for oily skin left my skin w/ an actual chemical burn.
I used Neutragena face moisturizer w/ spf in it. Talk about burn. I wont recommend it. Now I'm looking for another good moisturizer or foundation w/ spf. I'm really bad about washing my face, except what my shampoo gets in the shower.
I am addicted to MD Forte. It's a little bit more and you have to get it thru a dermatologist or spa (or the internet) but it is awesome for controlling oil and breakouts. I swear by it.
Hi! I'm 41 and experiencing those first "little wrinkles" around the eyes, etc. etc. I also have sensitive skin that doesn't react well to chemicals. I have recently fallen in love with Burt's Bees Milk and Honey lotion. It is actually for your body, but I use it on my face as well. My skin is noticeably smoother and softer, and it is very inexpensive (about $8.00 for a 9 oz. bottle). It would be a real bargain if you just used it on your face--9 oz would last for months! My skin tends to be a bit dry, so this may not be a suitable lotion for oilier skin.
