Answer
1. What are some natural home remedies to control oily skin.
- Definitely use tea tree oil or witch hazel that's what i use.

2. How can I get rid of these bumps around the place where my hair and face meet.
- I get those too just keep your hair clean and don't let it get too oily.

3.How can I get rid of these little bumps around my nose. They look sorta like this but only on the sides of my nose.
- I use to have those until like i said i used tea tree oil and witch hazel
just dab it on in the morning

4.And how can I get my skin one even skin tone. I heard I can use a lemon well can I substitute that with a lime?
- I've used lemon but i mix it with sea salt and make a scrub.
Just rub it on your face gently then wash it off.

* I know you said you wanted to use home remedies but I was the same way because I didn't want harsh chemicals or anything. But I found this product that is 100% natural and since I've used it I don't get pimples at all! It evens your skin tone, takes those bumps off your nose and even takes away those pimples near your hair line. It's not expensive at all. You can get it a trader joe's for $4 or even at Stop & Shop! YOU HAVE TO TRY IT! here's a link but you can use the home remedies but they won't work as good. They are facial cleansing pads with tea tree oil, lemongrass, witch hazel, ginger and other natural ingredients. They are made by desert essence!

Is this a good skincare routine for oily, acne-prone skin?

Q. 19 year old guy trying to control his oily, acne-prone skin...here is my routine.

Morning:
-Wash face with Burts Bees Deep Cleansing Cream (BBDCC)
-Rinse off with warm water, then wash face with Clean & Clear Continuous Acne Control Cleanser (10% Benzoyl Peroxide)
-Rinse off with warm water, then splash face with cold water

Night:
-Take shower and wash face in shower with BBDCC
-I shave every night so if I don't shave that night then,
-After shower and washing face with BBDCC in shower, I wait 20-30 minutes before applying 0.025% Tretinoin Gel (Retin-A)...I leave that on. Then I wait 5-10 more minutes before applying Organic Tea Tree Oil on my acne-prone areas.
-If I shave the only thing different is that I wash my face again with BBDCC after I shave too.

The only thing bad I've noticed with this routine is that my skin seems to have some redness in certain areas and it seems to be from the Tea Tree Oil, but I am not positive.

What do you guys think? Is it good? What should I do to eliminate this redness? Anything I can cut down on or eliminate from this routine? Please do not mention any other products that have worked well for you, just work off of the products I have just mentioned. Thanks.

Answer
Congratulations Jojoba Oil is a great moisturiser to use, as it almost identical organically-speaking to sebum, which is the natural oil produced by your skin. As well as being a great natural moisturizer it can also help with acne, Jojoba Oil penetrates into the skin without clogging pores and is suitable for all skin types it contains vitamin E and antioxidants which are great for fighting aging signs and moisturizing the skin.

Studies on jojoba oil show that it has the ability to prevent skin from becoming too oily. This is due to the fact that putting jojoba oil on our skin can trick our cells into thinking they have produced enough oil.

Remove any surface dirt from your skin, then put just a few drops of jojoba oil into your hand and rub it into your skin when you start to work jojoba oil into the skin, the oil penetrates into the pores. As jojoba closely resembles your skin's own oil, moisturizing with jojoba oil sends the message to your pores to stop overproducing the sebum that causing the oily skin.

Tee Tree Essential Oil can irritate the skin for some people this sounds like what is happening to you.

The best results are usually achieved using pure Tee Tree Essential Oil directly on spots, Simply put a couple of drops on a cotton bud and dot onto each spot. Don't use it over your entire face as it can irritate the skin for some people.

I would recommend between 10-20 drops of essential oil to 50ml of jojoba oil, if you are going to apply to larger areas.

Hope this helps!

i am looking for inspiration for me

Answer
I have EXTREMELY oily skin thats sensitive and on occasion acne prone. This works the best for me, taming the oil and acne, tightening pores, preventing blackheads while making skin look fresh not dull:

Desert Essence Throughly Clean or Jurlique Purifying cleanser morning and night. I use the Lemon Lime Hydrating Essence from Jurlique at night before either cleanser.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant or Jurlique Daily Exfoliating cream every morning.

Witch hazel from drugstore or Jurlique Citrus Purifying mist as toner morning and night.

1-2 nights a week, Jurlique or Decleor Purifying mask.

Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean blemish touch stick on blemishes. I apply it at night before going to sleep if I've broken out.

Last even oily skin needs to be moisturized. This is my moisturizer routine morning and night:

morning: Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean oil control lotion or Jurlique Clarifying Day Care lotion

night: pure jojoba oil from desert essence or jason natural on regular nights, msm lotion orange ylang ylang if skin is looking dull or experiencing puffiness

In the morning after one of the morning moisturizers absorb, I apply a thin layer of plain milk of magnesia to entire face with a makeup sponge. This is part of my priming routine, but its a matifying miracle as well as tightening pores, treating existing acne.

What skincare products do you recommend for oily, acne prone skin?

Q. Hi. :) I'm a 16 year old girl, and my skin gives me so much trouble! I have extremely oily skin, and it almost always looks greasy. It lacks that "youthful" vibrance, and it's dull and uneven. On top of that, I have tons of brown acne scars all along my cheekbones and on my forehead, even though I'm really really pale. I get a lot of blackheads on my nose, and I have a horrid problem with ingrown hairs. I feel like my skin is out of control. I've tried almost everything from the drugstores! What do you think I should do? I'm fine with spending a decent amount of money, as long as it works. Thank you in advance! :)

P.S. I can only use products that aren't tested on animals.
Hey, Kyle: You can have your opinion, and I'll have mine. But when the little bunnies take over the world, I'm going to be on their side! You shall be annihilated.

Answer
I suggest that you try "Dark Angels" from Lush - it is perfect for oily skin like yours in this description. It is $15.95 per 100g, but none of the products from Lush are tested on animals, and this particular product works magic on your skin! I personally use lighter skincare products as I have quite good skin, but my sister has skin like yours, and it has changed her skin dramatically. It has improved the texture, cleared her skin, and left her with a beautiful, fresh, and natural looking skin. I also think that it smells beautiful, very natural scent. It is a rather harsh product, but it is perfect for your skin, and it will definately make a difference and a large improvement in your skin. I haven't heard from one person that it didn't improve the quality of their skin, and I have many friends that are your age that have used it and loved it, and are now frequent users! If you don't live near a Lush store, you can buy it online here - http://www.lush.com.au/shop/product/product/path/154/id/266/skin-dark-angels
Good Luck, i hope that it works for you! :) xxx

I have acne on my chin and right jaw-line, blackheads on my nose, and oily skin (sometimes). I'm going to my local chemist shopping center tommorow and i want to know if there is any effective skincare to treat Acne, Blackheads, Oily Skin.

Answer
Neutrogena Multi Vitamin Acne Treatment. It's an invisible,leave on, highly-effective acne treatment. It contains Vitamin A,E and Pro-vitamin B5 along with natural fruit extracts. I've bought, used and liked many other acne treatments, but this one offers something that others haven't;it reduces redness.
The directions say wash face in morning, apply MultiVitamin Acne Treatment in a thin layer all over face. You may follow with a moisturizer and it is recommended that you use a sunscreen.
The lotion comes in a 2.5 fl oz pump bottle, which I find very convenient and easy to use.
Price was also a big turn on for me; I paid less than $5 for my bottle. However, prices may vary in your area, as one reviewer apparently paid $9 for her bottle.

What is the best foundation for oily skin?

I have really really oily skin.I currently use Bare Naturale and I really don't like it.It gets my face all shiny,doesn't last,and looks horrible.I have lots of acne too.I want minimum shine and I prefer mineral makeup.Thanks a bunch !

Answer
If you have oily skin, you will need more than just a foundation to keep matte all day. You will also need a good skincare routine, primer and finishing powder that has matte finish.

I also have extremely oily skin. This is a skincare and makeup routine that works for me and keeps me matte all day without need to touchup no matter how hot/humid:

Alba Botanica Pineapple Enzyme cleanser followed by their Pineapple Enzyme scrub. The scrub is gentle enough for everyday use. Every third day or so, switch to st ives blemish scrub. It's too harsh for everyday use but is amazing.

Next use witch hazel as a toner. It will remove whatever excess oil/bacteria that may be trapped in your pores as well as tighten your pores. It's known to help treat acne and will not irritate.

Last, even oily skin needs to be moisturized. Pure jojoba oil is the ideal option because it is very balancing. It tricks your skin into stopping overproduction of oil while leaving it appropriately moisturized. It also treats acne, prevents blackheads, reduces redness and can be used as moisturizer. I use jason naturals jojoba oil.

(For night mask, no more than 2 nights a week to prevent overdrying, you need clay/mud and zinc oxide/sulfur masks. they will combat oiliness, treat acne, and tighten pores. You can use st ives timeless mineral clay firming mask and /or derma topix clay mint mask.)

In the morning after jojoba absorbs, apply one layer of PLAIN milk of magnesia to the entire face in place of traditional primer with a sponge and allow it to dry. Smooth out white spots you may see. They will disappear and you will be ready for foundation.

The milk is a matifying miracle. It will keep you matte far longer than mots high end primers will. It's superior to them at only 4 dollars. With continued use it will also tighten pores and treat/prevent acne without overdrying or irritating.

My favorite mineral foundations that work fabulously with oily skin:

Alima Satin Matte mineral
Amazing Cosmetics Velvet
Afterglow Cosmetics Organic Minerals
Joppa Full or Soft Coverage
Laura Mercier SPF 15
Monave Liquid Matte minerals
Prescriptives allskins minerals in powder or liquid form
Jane Iredale mineral foundations in liquid or powder form
Origins Multigrains
Philosophy The Supernatural Airbrush Canvas
Revlon Mineral Mousse

Last, set any of these foundations with Jurlique Citrus Silk finishing powder. It is my hg powder of all time and will keep you matte when following this routine and using one of these foundations throughout the entire day without need for touchups. Nothing else compares and I cannot recommend it enough! It won't break you out and is natural.

If you are interested in eyeshadows, pigments, blushes and bronzers that are also mineral, look into Fyrinnae, Lumiere Cosmetics, Prestige Skin Loving Minerals and Physicians Formula.

For a paraben free mascara that lengthens, volumizes, separates and fans lashes, holds a curl without irritating, flaking, clumping etc look into pop beauty lash wow.

For paraben free and non irritating eyeliners, look into physicians formula. They have the best liquid eyeliner (2-in-1 boosting), best gel (shimmer strips gel/cream trios), and best pencil (shimmer strips pencil trios)

If you need a mineral eyelid primer, try elfs. Its their only products I like from them and is long lasting, especially with mineral eyeshadows.

This way your makeup will last all day and be natural as possible.

Good luck!

I'm not sure what's prompted my skin to suddenly become oily and prone to breakouts after 21 years of clear skin. I would appreciate any tips on skincare and cosmetics, particularly in finding a foundation that works well with oily skin.

Answer
Firstly, if I were you I'd speak to a doctor/ dermatologist or at least a beauty therapist about what might be causing your breakouts. It could be as easy as changing your diet or addressing a hormonal imbalance.

In the meantime, maintain your 3 step cycle of cleansing, toning and moisturising morning and night, using a scrub at least once a week will remove dead skin debris which can clog your pores further, try a mask as well Payot makes an excellent drawing out mask.

When it comes to make up, use a foundation which is (obviously) oil free but also (very important) non-comodogenic and non-acnedogenic, this will prevent blackheads, whiteheads and pimples that can be caused by make-up.

The kind of foundation you buy will also depend on the finish you want. If you want to mattify your skin a powder-based/ pancake foundation with those qualities I mentioned above will work best because the powder particles absorb oil a lot better.
If you're after a more natural finish but still want coverage a liquid foundation (again, with those properties I mentioned before) will work well. The liquid foundations melt much more easily into the skin so they give a much more radiant, natural finish. Applying it with your *clean* fingers will give you an even better result.
If you're after top quality, Clinique is wonderful. They have over 36 different types of foundations at least 10 of which are for your skin type, in many forms, so you can see if you like solid make up or liquid more. If you want something that will still work but won't break the bank, Revlon Colorstay makeup for Oily/ Combination Skin (liquid) is what I use for everyday and it has fantastic coverage with a very natural finish. Their pancake is also very good.

When it comes to the zit end of the equation, foundation can't do it all. A concealer is your best weapon. You can use a green stick to neutralise the redness of your spots and then cover with some foundation and a little brush or another concealer that matches your skin tone.
Never bulk up your make up, that includes foundation *and* concealer. You won't hide the imperfections completely, what you need to do is minimise them and draw attention away from them. This is easily achieved with matt products and colours that *match* (a concealer that is too light/ dark will *draw* the eye to your flaws).

And remember, for any skin problem: "Chin up and a concealer in your pocket." The rest will take of itself.

Can anyone recommend skincare products for very oily skin?

I have extremely oily skin and am looking for a good cleanser, toner and moisturiser. Unfortunately I have to wear makeup for work, and sometimes work long hours. I use Mac Studio Fix foundation with Mac blotting powder, but need to prep my skin well first, as by the end of the day I end up looking like an oil slick!
I don't mind paying more for high end products, but want something tried and tested, not just to pay for the name.
Thanks ;)

Answer
I use Garnier Skin Naturals, which is quite good, but may still leave you abit shiny at the end of the day. Still, it doesnt look as though you are sweaty even if you have just had to run ect.
