I was wondering what products you would suggest for me. I have huge pores and oily skin. I've tried using a moisturizer but I guess it's true what they say... you get what you pay for. I bought a moisturizer that was the generic of Aveeno's but when I wear it, it just sits on my skin and makes me hot. I usually don't use moisturizer though because of my oily skin... I don't want to look even oilier but I know that the right moisturizer can actually help. But I don't know which ones. So what products would be good for me to use?? Any help would be appreciated... thanks :)
I have oily skin and I use undiluted rose hip seed oil. I recommend the one from Now Solutions. You want to be sure when buying an essential oil that it is in a blue or brown glass jar without a squeeze dropper or pump. The plastic in those can compromise the oils and RHSO is particularly delicate. It will last about 3 months in room temp, longer in the fridge, but I find it lasts me about 2 1/2 months using it twice a day (3-4 drops) so I don't refrigerate.
Putting oil on your skin could sound strange but it works! It's a natural moisturizer and aids in cell renewal and repairing damaged cells (works great on cuts and scrapes too) because it has a lot of Omega-6 fatty acids. It absorbs very well and very fast! Trust me, if I could only have one product for the rest of my life, I would pick this one without hesitation. It transformed my skin.
Cool, thanks Adalae and Miszila! I've used Clean and Clear before, but just their cleansers and I love them, so I might have to check out that moisturizer. Hmm, I've never even heard of gel based moisturizers... I'll look into that ;)

I've avoided cream moisturizers cause i'll break out even more. Try using gel based moisturizers? Im using Loreal Hydrafresh range. Cooling :)
