im a 17 year old guy with very oily skin. i hate it and it takes away so much confidence. i feel like my face always looks greasy.
i eat pretty healthy. take vitamins and shower everday, and never eat fast food. i feel like ive tried every acne treatment possible and i think they have all made my facial shine worse.
recently i have started using plain bar soap to wash my face with hot water. i also use a PH balancing moisturizer.
whenever i was my face it looks good for about a half an hour till oil has once again covered my T Zone area of my face. i have to wash my face around 4 times a day. yes ive tried not washing it as much but i break out from the oil.
is there anything to stop my oily italian teenage skin? PLEASE HELP!

Try using Dove beauty bar it will help to clean your skin without stripping the natural oils and it will also help to moisturize therefore cutting the need to add a moisturizer to your skin after cleansing. Once you have done that buy something called Clear Makeup from the Philosophy line of products you can get it on QVC or go to http://www.philosohy.com it costs about $25 US dollars for 5 oz , I think, and it will help to stop your skin from being oily through out the day. It is like what women use as foundation only it has no color, smell, or toxins to cause more breakouts. I have really oily skin too and I promise you this will work and if it doesn't you have a 30 day money back guarantee. Good luck!
have you gone to your doctor and gotten a presription? nothing seemed to work for me until i got a prescription. then my face cleared right up. if you havent already, try it.
try using something with saciliyic acid, it normally works to dry your face up. Something like Neutrogena Oil-Free wash would be great, if that still does not work, then ask your doctor to put you on something that can topically treat acne like erithomysin, which is a topical gel that you put on twice a day that will help to dry your face out, and its active ingredient is peroxide.
Don't use soap. What I use is proactive there is a daily oil control that is pretty nice. Or you could use alpha beta hydroxy products they are fantastic. Hope this helps some
First stop washing your hair so much wash your hair three times a week. U must use lemon juice put it on your head well and then let it for 5 hours then you wash it and make use of a shampoo made of lemon juice. don't put any other products on your hair. Change your comb.
this might help it but try putting tooth pate on ur face it helps me
hai,don't worry.This is very common problem. The best thing is that u can use sandlwood powder paste apply and then rinse after 10 minutes. Or if u get indian ayurvedic powder called 'multanimetti' apply like face pack clean after 10 minutes u will sure find a good result. Before that do yoga and pls don't keep on worrying.
.. why is the girl above me talking about washing hair
someone should read the question above!
i think you should get biore control shine. it's a foamy face wash and it definately dries out the skin. i used to have a problem with oil too (it wasnt that severe) but it really helped. other things you can do are carry oil blotting papers around with you. (THESE REALLY HELP!) they're only a couple dollars at a local drugstore or walmart and whenever your feeling oily on your face, just take a paper and blot your face with it.
rubbing alcohal also helps to dry out the skin. . this may burn but use a cotton ball, dip it in rubbing alcohal and rub it on your face. this WILL HELP!
i wish you the best of luck. if any of these do not help, then i strongly suggest seeing a doctor
Most teens use bangs to 'hide' problems but it does make your problem worse. Move your hair off your forehead.
OK here's a trick.
Go to your drugstore and get Selsun Blue Medicated Shampoo. After you have washed your face, three times a week, Put a small amount on your fingers and massage it into the T zone. Leave on for 5 minutes. Rinse off.
I don't have time to explain why it works, but it does.
