Developed oily skin?

I never used to have oily skin, my skin used to be normal and clear, but ever since I started my new job in a factory, where they use airlock doors etc, I've notice my skin has become soo oily, and I'm breaking out! I think it might be because of the atmosphere in work, no fresh air for 12hours a day! Can anyone suggest something that could help?

Maybe since you work in a factory don't wear makeup to work to prevent breakouts. Just a good moisturizer and bring some blotting sheets.

It probably is the atmosphere. Your skin is probably trying to produce more oil to create a protective barrier from the environment. Since the oil is our face is acidic (like 3-4 ph) to find off "bad stuff" in the air. But I recommend using Milk of Magnesia as a face primer. It can be a primer for foundation or bb cream. It's a laxative that can be used topically as well. I've been using it for a couple weeks and I swear by it. It's also used for acne facial mask since it removes oil (which causes breakouts)

Maybe spray thermal water sometimes during the work day?

I don't wear any make-up in work, we're not allowed. I've never heard of using milk of magnesia on your skin, I always thought it was something you took for an upset tummy. It's worth a shot though?
