Oily Skin
Posted: 07-25-05 23:05pm

I have been having a problem with my skin producing excess oil on my face for a while now. I never use to have this problem, and I didn't know if this could just be from clogged pores?? If so, is there a product that anyone knows of to help to un-clog them?

It may not work on everyone but it has worked on me and is very cheap. What you do it boil water to an extent where alot of steam will come out. Then pour the water into a bowl and place a wet face towel over it. Wait until the towel is warm with steam .. Then just gently wash your face with it. It should remove the oil

You can use exfoliate cleanser to clean the pores. Do not use cleansers that tend to overdry your skin. That will produce more oil on your face. Wash your face maximum 2 times daily. Use oil free moisturizer.

Pardon the ignorance but is it ok to use exfoliants everyday? Thanks to any reply that maybe posted. :)

I wouldn't suggest using an exfoliant *everyday* because it could dry out the skin, thus causing extra oil (which is what you want to stay away from) to form on the skin and causing clogged pores or blackheads/blemishes to form. I use one every three days or so, and I use a moisturizer and mild soap on the days that I do not exfoliate so that my skin does not dry out too much.
