My skin gets really oily a lot. I've tried different cleansers, but all they do is make my face feel really dry and cause it to get oilier. Any tips?[FONT="Arial Black"]

Most skin care products for oily skin have a lot of alcohol in them, specifically SD40 alcohol, which strips the acid mantle from the skin and is very drying which often kicks the sebaceous glands into overdrive so they produce even more oil. You need products which will hydrate the skin without using oils (especially mineral oil) and that don't contain harsh alcohols. I have found products that is fabulous for oily skin. I realize this isn't an advertising forum, so you can visit if you want more info. www.cosmetics-hair.com
Good Luck!

Keep it simple! You need a good cleanser that contains an alpha hydroxy acid, such as glycolic acid- if your skin is not too sensitive....secondly you need a good source of hydration and nutrition. For this, my patients prefer kinerase creams with zeatin. Lastly add a UV block agent to the regimine to protect what you have.
If all this goes well, consider retin A, Prevage, or another similar product to remove fine lines.

I have oil skin too and it make my face with a lot of pimples. I use apple cider vinegar mixed with water in my face once a week. It helps to eliminate the amount of oil.

I have been using a citrus cleansing gel that has a bunch of all natural ingredients in it and it has totally reduced the oil and breakouts! It is the best cleanser I have ever used because it makes my skin feel very clean without that tight dry feeling that most cleansers leave you with! I order it frm www.karmicjustice4u.com. Does anyone know of a good nautural deodorant?

Moni- This is interesting. I have heard many home remedies that use ACV, but never for an oily face. I am taking it for my allergies, but I will try it for this also. I wish it smelled better though!

Step1
Stick with the basics: The experts suggest cleansing your face two or three times daily with good old soap and water. Pack a premoistened cleansing pad if you won't be around a water basin throughout the day.
Step2
Understand that dermatologists and aestheticians often disagree on which types of soaps or cleansers to use'but all agree that once you find a product that works well for your skin, you should continue using it.
Step3
Follow the recommendations of dermatologists and shower or bathe in tepid rather than steaming-hot water. Hot water can strip your skin of needed moisture, while cold water can shock your skin.
Step4
Avoid using cleansers that tend to overdry skin. This paradoxically causes your skin to produce even more oil than usual.
Step5
Use only noncomedogenic moisturizers and sunscreen products'this means they're oil-free and won't clog pores.
Step6
Talk to your dermatologist about a class of drugs called retinoids, which reduce production in oil glands and shrink their size.
Step7
Keep in mind that oil glands are very sensitive'stimuli such as hormones, heat and (some say) fatty food can trigger them.
Step8
Remember that your efforts to keep your oily skin clear can only go so far, as some studies indicate that oily skin is hereditary.

Do not use cleaning milk, always use astringent to clean your face. Flush your face with plain water frequently. Then dry your face.

well, as you have an oily skin, what else do you do to take care of it?
the simplest and the best method is to clean your face with cold water and then with cotton pads clean your face with a good moisturizer. this wont solve your problem much, but your skin would feel much better in the morning
