Helloooo, unfortunately I'm going through a teenager phase and I've noticed my nose and a little on my forehead get quite oily, I've never really been oily before and I feel quite insecure even though I know lots of people with oily skin!
I have kind of dry skin and I know that oily skin can sometimes mean that the skin is actually dry in deeper layers?
But my skin routine is clearasil superfruits, then simple hydrating light moisturiser then at night the same but with Nivea original creme because it's very moisturising throughout the night:)
Does anyone recommend anything I could help stop or maybe hide it?xx

Sorry that was really long but I forgot to say I sometimes use blotting papers at school which put powder on aswell but I'm afraid they might block my pores xx

My skin is pretty good I have some blackheads but (luckily) I've never had spots that bad and I hardly ever wear foundation. I wear concealer everyday and powder and if I'm having a bad skin day I will use bare minerals foundation which I love x
But thank you!d

Blotting sheets are definitely very helpful! Make sure the moistruizer you are using is oil-free as well. Lastly, when buying face makeup, look for matte products as they tend to keep shine away. If you aren't to keen on wearing a full face of makeup, just dust a light powder all over your face to stop oil.

Okay thank you, I only apply powder once in the morning at the moment so I might bring some to school with me to top up maybe x

But baby powder on your skin before you go to bed at night really helps me good advice

Use a clay mask to control the oil on the outer layer of the skin. Do you use a serum? A serum will penetrate into the deeper layers of your skin while moisturizers usually moisturize the outer layer.

I never knew about a serum I will look into getting one thank you, and do you use rose water as a toner?xx
