Oily Skin Problems

How can I reduce the oily-ness (naturally/or Certain creams)? it is mostly on my T-zone. every night I wash my face with a specific soap-alike solution described by my dermatologist, however it is not to prevent the oil, just cleaning up. I also use garnier bb cream for oily skin but it doesn't last long.. so are there any home remedies or anything to reduce it? thanks in advance.

I don't use home remedies, but I really like cliniques pore solutions cos I have large pores on my nose cos my skin is so oily. Also clarins truly matte range is good. As for foundation I love Estée Lauder double wear, keeps me shine free all day. And primed and poreless by too faced is a good primer. For powder I like Clinique stay matte powder.

I have a really oily t-zone and eyelids. I've been using a foaming cleanser, like neutrogena, along with cliniques clarifying lotion/toner for combination oily skin, and cliniques dramatically different moisturizing gel. I also try to drink 9 glasses of water a day, it really makes a difference.

Drink a lot of water and use natural make up only... I use Vichy foundation its good if you have skin problems and oily skin it doesn't make you get spots... And also speak to your dermatologist again about this issue because what might work for others might not work for you... Best wishes <3

My skin is super oily and I find that Clinique city block is a great tinted primer for keeping my oiliness under control! I wear that and bare minerals powder on the daily.

I've just started trying milk of magnesia and it definitely works. Look it up on YouTube. I just dab it onto my face with a brush, wait for it to dry and then prime and makeup like usual :) I have oily skin and I hate buying foundations as nothing stays on, then I tried MAC prowear and its amazing! xx
