I used to have super-oily skin and I found that using DermaDoctor's Tease Zone AMAZINGLY kept my skin matte and fresh literally all day long. (I just used blotting paper once during the day.)
i was having breakouts too did natural face remedies and also used hydrocortizone cream to get rid of the redness and you know what it did in just two days!!! but i also just bought soap and glory fab pore with the cloth and it has nothing but great reviews..havent tried it yet though but for future purposes and also i got a murad mask and that also has 5 stars and i also try to use stuff that wont clog my pores such as non comedegnic lotions, makeup and i always wash my face at night which i stopped doing and also caused me to break out, and i use cetaphil as a lotion bc it wont clog my pores and is very moisturizing which you can get a cvs. my derm also told me chocolate does not make you break out thats just a myth. hope that helps but if all else fails go see a derm he can help you with your skin and even explain why its happening you'd be suprised what you can learn when you go lol i know i did lol
Hi Dina! me again...want to ask you what sun cream do you recommend for combination skin? I've tryed again a few products but my face was full with grease and had lots of breakouts...i'm not usin anything at the moment and i really need something.. Thanks ;)
I also have always had naturally oily, shiny skin, i have found that the Neautrogina pink grapefruit facial wash works great to remove oils and it smells great. Recently my skin became very dry for no reason so if this happens to you try the True Blue after sun moisturizer which contains aloe vera. It brings a high level of moisture to skin making it both soft and smooth. It doesn't make my skin either shiny, or oily i LOVE it and i am sure you will as well!!
If they don't ship to the UK? then try them: http://www.nealsyardremedies.com/su...
They are located in England and they have free UK Standard Delivery on all orders over £40.
What I did to help my oily skin was to use a gentler routine (my favorite cleanser right now is Queen Bee Sauce's Glycolic Acid cleanser) so that I don't totally strip my face of my natural oils. Also, I use undiluted rose hip seed oil (I like Now Foods) as my moisturizer.
I've checked the nealsyard remedies but there are not a lot of people saying good things about this sunscreen..anyway I will keep reading about this one and thanks a lot !!!
Andra, here are more sunscreen I can suggest:
Melansol Sunscreen
Badger Sunscreen SPF 30+
Aubrey Organics Natural Sun SPF 30+ Green Tea Sunscreen SPF 30+
Erbaviva Natural Sunscreen SPF 15
Goddess Garden Sunscreen SPF 30
Karen's Botanicals Simple Sunblock Lotion, Unscented, SPF 30
TruKid Sunny Days Water Resistant Unscented Mineral Face & Body Stick, SPF 35+
Marie-Veronique Organics Creme de Jour SPF 30
Poofy Organics Supernaturals "The" Sunscreen SPF 30
And 1 more interesting thing: "Arbonne, Avon, Mary Kay and Melaleuca are aware of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics but have refused to sign it. If they are truly supporting women’s health and making “safe” products, it shouldn’t be too hard for them to sign the Compact."
Try applying a face mask a couple of times every week. While the pink and white clay masks gently cleanse off excess oil from oily skin, the more effective are the brown ones.

Unfortunately Mary Kay is far from natural....actually they use many harmful chemicals.
