what makes your face greasy
even when you dont put lotion on it

well, faces get oily naturally.


so, naturally.
i have face wipes and i wash my face in the afternoon, so it doesnt get too bad.

eating too much oily food
not washing face properly/ at all
the facewash is very drying that promote more oil production
out in the sun too much
cooking for a long time with the heat
summer

Actually being out in the sun breaks down oils, which is why it's a good idea to wash your face after being outside for a while and sweating. Also certain medicines dry out your face, but promoting more oil production? *shrug*

The stuff I use is called, well, idno but I know what it does :D It pretty much destroys the top layer of skin, and is extremely effective at treating acne. There's also a moisturizer in it and once your face gets used to it there's no itching or side effects at all cept non-oily face.

Long hair that touches your face (guys with long bangs tend to have greasy foreheads = zits)

Sweat

Actually, I mean being out in the sun and sweating at the same time makes your face look greasy.



Yes, if your face becomes too dried from using peroxide, acid, and tree tea oil. You pores will try harder to provide oil to moisturize your skin's needs. It's important to be aware of product's claim to provide "deep clean pores" because at the same time, it can take away skin's natural component and abilities. It's a good idea to use a moisturizer after using drying products so the skin doesn't have to work any harder to produce more oil. When skins produce more oil than before, it doesn't go back to its normal oil production cycle. It's permanent. Salyaic acid is proven to reduce surface oil because it exfoliates the dead skins cells which gives a skin more refreshed-look.




Same with large pores, when pores are stretched to larger in size, it will never go back to its normal condition. This is why you see older people have larger pores than a baby's skin. There are a lot of reasons for pores to increase its side. One factor is environmental, lack of nutrients, free radical, damage, pollutions, and no proper care. Your best bet it have vitamin A to your diet or skincare because it's tighten your pore and less noticable.

Dang, I need to get me some of that. How did you get it (if you don't know what it's called)?

Dermatologist. It's called *goes to check*

6.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser

Benzoyl Peroxide in a Urea vehicle

Topical Acne Therapy

6.5%

400 ml

River's Edge ~~~~~

Google search doesn't give me anything useful but I'll check it out. Thanks!

Well this is the 2nd prescription I got. I had a medicine before it that wasn't as strong and it was called Triaz I think.

Also I have this duac thing you put on your skin after you wash it and it does something overnight but I dno what it does lol. I just know it helps.

Night cream?

6.5? OMFG. your skin can tolerate that!
What type of acne do you have?

I use TBS tea tree oil gel cleanser. It does pretty well to smoothes my skin, reduces bumps, and control acne pimples. It's less irritable, drying, and damaging than acid and peroxide.

I started off using 4%. When I first used that on my face, my skin turned hella red and hurt like a mofo. It got used to that and now I have to use 6.5 *shrug* Doesn't hurt or turn red at all.

seriously, the slightest hint of humidity in the air makes my face shine...
gahh. ><;;
HATES IT.

^Ugh, thats why I hate the humidity. It also turns my pretty hair to shit.

Probably sweat..idk.

ugh i have that f**king problem too ! it sucks .

It could be a medical condition. Try eating less greasy food and bump up your water intake. Try 1 gallon a day, 1 cup of water an hour for a week... you should see results.

Haha. it works pretty well. it controls the oil production.

1 cup of water an water for a week? Isn't that a bit much? But I do agree that increasing your water intake is a great start, and for dry skin too (I have both dry skin problems and oily skin).

then, you have combination skin type called, "t-zone" ?

It doesnt matter. You still need water to hydrate for both skintype.

dry skin creates an "illusion" of wrinkles. water soften them up.
oily skin can be control with water to regulate the oil production.

Bit much? lol

Uh no. In fact that should be your minimun intake for the rest of your lives.

I drink a minimum of 1 gallon in a day every day and I have been for the last 5 years. I haven't been sick in 4 years of my life. I haven't even gotten a zit... a simple little zit in 5 years either.


Also if you're a female, please refrain from wearing make up. I know your pride is really high and you don't want people to see you havin zits, and you hate lookin in the mirror because the zits bring you down. And looking at women with beautiful skin makes you jealous and mad at yourself... But seriously, grow up... stop wearin make up for at least 2 weeks, wash your face every morning and every night, make sure you change/wash your phillow cases, comforter, and sheets every 3-5 days. Use clean towels after bathing (not used), and make sure you stay away from MAKE UP!!!

Make up = unhealthy pore blocker.

Actually, the best thing to do is to avoid cosmetic.

Are you serious? You never had "any" zits? How about hormone zits?

I do agree that it clears up pimples because I’d done it in two days.

None, I swear to you... also a hydrated body helps with chemical reactions in your body. So if you're stressed out, you won't get the physical symptoms.

the grease fairy comes when ur not looking and spreads grease all over your face...

i agreed. Our bodies are like toilet. We flush the shit with water. If the stubborn shit still gets stuck, we flush ‘em with more water.

Thanks for telling me so much about water. I'm more willing to drink more.

Humidity. I hate it. First the oil. Then comes the pimple. Gosh, its annoying.

No problem, I wish parents would tell their children the importance of water. A lot more people would take advantage of it and not have to worry about gettin sick or anything.



Yeah in Florida, the humidity was horrifying. That's the one state I hated the most. Dry heat isn't so bad... I dislike humidity though.
