So, this is fairly new to me. I'm 22, and my skin just started becoming "oily" within the passed year or two, so it's not like I've had my whole teenage puberty years to get this under control lmao.

What can I do to keep the oil at bay? Is there a moisturizer I can use, or some kind of foundation that ISNT terribly pore-clogging? I'll try anything. Thanks, beauties ♥️

I'm not fond of makeup, so I don't know about powder or spray lol, thanks though. Mattifying moisturizer... what is that? I'm intrigued (;

Eve, I'm also interested in your method. What kind of oil? And what's your procedure?

Is that something I use every morning, or periodically throughout the day, or...? Also would I have to wash that off every night?

What are some good brands to keep an eye out for?

To clean out your pores use Noxzema classic deep clean and an astringent at night. And then a mattifying oil free moisturizer in the morning after you wash your face with a gentle cleanser

Thanks, Alexis :)

Erin, are you saying I shouldn't use moisturizer at night, only mornings?

I just started using this Tea Tree Oil system from the Body Shop.. in 3 days I've seen a huge difference!! I think you can get the kit at Ulta for $30... or buy separate. online and in both stores.

Agree with Erin. You definitely need a toner. I think some of the masks used to treat acne, with sulfur for example, would really be helpful.

Exfoliate then apply a masque dermalogica has a daily microfoliant and a sebum clearing masque that would absorb all that access oil.. Use a light moisturizer like active moist. These products are a little pricy but a little of it goes a long way and they are really affective
