Oily Skin
by Buckeey, Nov 26, 2006 12:00AM
I'm 18 and have been getting acne since I was 11, though the breakouts and severity of them have greatly slowed down since then. This may be a rediculous question...but is there any way to control how much sebum (oil) your skin produces? Basically meaning is it possible for someone with oily skin to transform their over oily skin into that of a normal type? I use all those cleansers and astringents that are supposidly "oil controling" but they only seem to work for a little while. I just hate having to blot my face and apply powder every hour of the day. And does anyone recommend a certain concealer/foundation? Right now and for the past few months I have been using Maybelline oil free & shine minimizing products. Thanks to all of you that have some advice!

I'm 19 and have oily skin and still have some zits on my face, so I totally understand where you are coming from. For make up I use maybelline dream matte mousse and maybelline shine free pressed powder. This usually does a fairly well job for me. It could have something to do with me living in New York and it being winter. I also like to try and use things with tea tree oil in it. My skin is more on the sensitive side so I have to watch myself.
Best of luck to you,
Kaitlin
