these are apparently hormone based, post pregnancy.
my face is looking like there are dirty marks on it (even my mother told me i had something on my face - i half expected her to get out the licked hanky!).
is there anything that is successful for evening out these marks? is it safe to use?

Reply:they will leave after time. there are products like, porcelana. (i'm sure i did not spell that correctly) and i don't remember the others off hand but if you look at wal-mart, sav-on, k-mart, you will find a variety, i do not like to pay dept store prices for the same products. they are safe to use provided you are not allergic. the key is to always use sun screening products. also a gentle exfoliate a few days a week. use a face cloth. face and neck use only. remember to use toner and moisturizer daily. your skin will look lovely for years to come.

Does anyone has or had an "angry face"?
Kind like that mother's saying, "If you make that face, it'll stay that way."? I did, for most of my teen and young adult years. Never thought about it that much. I always thought that was my natural look passed down from my family. (My uncle looked very upset all the time when I was a kid. My mom and dad looked normal, though) Until I became more aware of it when I was 32 (I'm 35 now), that this was'nt my natural face. Deep down inside, I WAS angry and it was showing on my face, even when relaxed. Angry at my family life (we were poor), angry at being involved with a cult for most of my youth, and angry at being stuck in a 4 year relationship with woman that I knew in my heart did'nt care for me, but I stayed for mostly the sex and fear of being alone. Long story short, through self help books, advice on the net, New Age methods, and a close female friend of mine, I managed to "morph" my face to my normal, friendly and approachable look now. Anyone else out there can relate?
Does anyone has or had an "angry face"?
Um... yeah I think I can relate. Our emotions affect us in many ways physically. I went through a very tough time a couple of years ago. Now I notice any pictures of me from that time are really odd - my forehead had worry lines, my eyes looked lost, and my smile looked "fake". But I pulled through and now I look softer and more myself again.
So yeah I agree that our deepest emotions can affect our looks or expressions.
I'm glad you were able to pull through too!
Reply:Awwww! Heya Rommie!
I love friends who help us through hard times. I probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for mine. : ) Report It
Reply:My mom has a permant frown .she always looks mad even if she isn't is just the way she looks!
Reply:You should get someone to talk to. Go to a doctor or anything like that. Go to one of those people that u talk to and they make u sit on a sofa and tell them whats happening. (right now i cant remembere what there called.
Reply:I can't help it but to answer this. I know your going to scream when you read this. (Well, you know me.) I'm glad that got that angry look off your face. Good for you that your able to get through this on your own.

(Face) Shaving Advice - Fellows?
What's a good shaving gel? I thought about trying that Aveno gel, even though it's pretty expensive..
My problem is, my face is real sensitive, so shaving is a pain while I'm doing it, and after... I use one of those 3 (or 4) blade Gilette blades. It seems to almost pluck the hairs depending on the angle, so that I have to shave in the direction the hair grows.
Is there a good combination of gel and shaver anyone has found for sensitive, irritable skin?
(I don't like electric shavers, by the way, if you were going to suggest that.)
Thanks!
(Face) Shaving Advice - Fellows?
Hi, first thing is forget the 3 and 4 blade razors, you need a good old fashioned Wilkinson sword blade, before you shave put a flannel in cold water and ring it out tight, then place in the microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds till its warm. place it over the beard for about 1 min, this will soften the beard, then use a alcohol free gel or foam for sensitive skin and you will be OK
Reply:i also have sensitive skin theres not much u can do i dont think except deal with it. shave gently and only if u got to. they have gel especially for sensitive and extra sensitive skin.
i used to use this all natural aloe something or other gel which worked pretty good but i stopped buying it cause it was hard to find/expensive.
now i use just aveeno extra sensitive or colgate or whatever comes around. i think after u shave more and more it becomes less of a problem i dont even think about it anymore.. btw the guy above me had really good tips with the warm towel/ old school razor but its a hassle im sure.
Reply:Ok try this, do your shower regularly and then try shaving in the shower with water running slowly. You need to wait after using the foam or gel for at least five minutes, you hair may be hard or coarse and thats why you are having problems.
Reply:The way i learned to shave was to do it twice, go with the grain once and then against the grain second time that way it reduces the irritation.
I also have very sensitive skin and it helps to shave when your face in itself is oily, that way you are shaving with your natural oils along with the shaving cream, so dont shave after showers or after using face cream.
In terms of the actual cream there are some shaving creams that are good for sensitiive skin although i have yet to feel the difference.
Reply:i hear ya. i have sensitive skin too and i hate shaving. you have a couple of things.
first off, the sensitivity can be reduced either by putting a warm, wet towel on your face for a little while. the aveeno gel is pretty good but for a cheaper option, the edge gel ain't so bad either. when you put the shaving cream on, let it sit a little bit on your beard so it actually works. and always shave after you get out of the shower.
as for the blades, I like gillette tho I'm not sure there's too much of a difference between all these multiple blade razors. the trick is to shave with the grain first, then shave from side to side. THEN shave against the grain.
good luck
Reply:You are supposed to shave with the grain first, and then (only if need be) against it.
If your face is that sensitive, skip the second part (unless you're really woolly LOL).
With all the experience I've had (with sensitive skin myself mind you) I've found the multi-blade razors to actually work better than single bladed ones.
Honestly, I don't think the gel has anything to do with it.
Again, if you're not too woolly, try shaving only every other day or so. This works too.
You can also experiment with the water temperature that you use. I heard once that using cold water instead of hot, making the blade contract instead of expand, makes for a nicer, cleaner shave. I've tried it, but I prefer shaving with hot water.
Reply:I use Zirh they have a cream and a gel i like the gel cause i cant see what im shaving since i sport a goat. Its like 18$ for a tub but it lasts a while plus if u get an oil to add to your face prior it will help more. You can buy it at like dillards i swear by the stuff and after the mug is smooth. Make sure u shave with your face warm and wet. For aftershave i use Zirh protect or Jack Black is another one that is a good moisturizer.
Good Luck

How do I get my face for being so chapped?
I came home last night and washed my make up off in the shower
Now my face is dry liked chapped
What can i use toy fix the thats feeling off my face?
What should I use to was face make up off?
How do I get my face for being so chapped?
I'd probably use a mild exfoliant and then a heavy moisturizer if you're just windburned.
If you think you have somehow gotten into something you're allergic to, you can try a cortisone cream or Benadryl cream to see if it gets better.
If you have somehow gotten some sort of irritant on your face, I think you should probably go to the doctor.
Reply:You're running out of the natural oil in your face. You have to use a mild facial wash and also after washing,use a moisturizer,in a cream form and when you put this on your face,don't rub it,just pat it all over your face,because rubbing it will create a friction and this is what dries your face and gives you a chapped feeling.
Reply:i have that issue i was my face with noxema, and then i use a scubby acne pad to get the rest of the make up off. and then i use oil of olay lotion. not the regular. the kind in the little jar. in the morning i was again. no scrubby and then i put lotion on again. wait till its dry. then i put my make up on.
Reply:wash your makeup off but then use face moisturizer because your face is dry
Reply:any face wash i like neutrogena clean and clear and then before you go to sleep aply any hypoalergenic lotion to any dry spots of the face or body .....yeah um im a guy
Reply:Clean %26amp; clear moisturizer or oil of olay
Reply:put a couple drops of olive oil in your hands and rub them together to warm the oil. Gently pat it on your face. It really works, and doesn't leave you feeling greasy.

Here's my best advice. Everyone actually looks quite normal, but it can help to take as good care of yourself as you can. Make sure you have good hygeine, and style your hair in a way that is easy and comfortable for you, dress nicely, and then -- forget about your looks, and enjoy your day with friends, family, hobbies and activities. Have fun, and that will also be reflected in your personality and will enhance your looks all on it's own!
Reply:when i was your age (im 18 now) i felt exactly the same, i was overweight %26amp; unpopular at school %26amp; thought things would never change however as i've got older ive learned that confidence is the key if you feel good about yourself it shines through. now im never short of dates (not trying 2 brag here, jsut sayin) %26amp; i never thought that would ever happen!

Reply:The rule is, if your face is round wear a square hairstyle. Square face.. layers around the face for a soft round look and an oval face can wear any hairstyle. But any hairdresser will tell you that it's about what looks good on you.
Reply:Fringe, and layerd hair around your chin to your shoulders...
My face is sort of heart/oval shaped and I have that hair style now. it sort of makes your face look slimmer too

Blue spots on face due to bad facial, 1st Anniv in 2 days?
Hi,
I recently got my facial done at a salon I frequent the most for such treatment. But, this time the person who used to attend to me had quit and there was someone else in her place. This was the most painful facial of my whole life. As she was removing my blackheads I kept telling her that this time it was hurting more than usual. She kept telling me that my blackheads were too deep and needed the pressure to come out. After she was done and I looked in the mirror I was SHOCKED. I had blue spots on my face (especially on my chin), like somone had boxed me or the kind you get on your knee when you have a fall but you don't bleed. Also, my nose is blood red. It's been 4 hours since I got my facial done, I've been applying ice over the spots ever since but they only seem to get darker.
It's my first wedding anniversay in two days and I'm looking like a clown with a red nose and a blue chin. Please advice how I can lighten these blood clots on my face. Thanks.
Blue spots on face due to bad facial, 1st Anniv in 2 days?
Calm down! You'll have to wait and try not to make it worse!Maybe you should see a dermatologist to find out if there are any creams for your situation! A good make up and some tolerance from your husband will do! Every one has been through such uncomfortable circumstances don't get despaired...Actually in two days you may be FINE
Reply:Its sounds like you are bruised from the pressure. I have never heard of anything like this before. Keep up the ice, not too long but for periods at a time. If it doesnt clear up by tomorrow, go to a doctor, and get your money back and tell them about what happeded, if you havent already.

She kept telling me that my blackheads were too deep and needed the pressure to come out. After she was done and I looked in the mirror I was SHOCKED. I had blue spots on my face (especially on my chin), like somone had boxed me or the kind you get on your knee when you have a fall but you don't bleed. Also, my nose is blood red. It's been 4 hours since I got my facial done, I've been applying ice over the spots ever since but they only seem to get darker.
It's my first wedding anniversay in two days and I'm looking like a clown with a red nose and a blue chin. Please advice how I can lighten these blood clots on my face. Thanks.
Blue spots on face due to bad facial, 1st Anniv in 2 days?
Calm down! You'll have to wait and try not to make it worse!Maybe you should see a dermatologist to find out if there are any creams for your situation! A good make up and some tolerance from your husband will do! Every one has been through such uncomfortable circumstances don't get despaired...Actually in two days you may be FINE
Reply:Its sounds like you are bruised from the pressure. I have never heard of anything like this before. Keep up the ice, not too long but for periods at a time. If it doesnt clear up by tomorrow, go to a doctor, and get your money back and tell them about what happeded, if you havent already.
Can a swollen face/chin be a sign of lactose intolerance?
Eaten cows' dairy in the first time for ages this weekend and have had a recurrence of the swollen, bloated face that I used to frequently get before I switched to eating more sheeps' and goats' products. I don't really feel I get any other symptoms, but I just want to know if a swollen face really can be indicative of an intolerance?
Can a swollen face/chin be a sign of lactose intolerance?
Carbohydrate intolerance is an inability to digest certain carbohydrates due to a lack of one or more intestinal enzymes. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal distention, and flatulence. Diagnosis is clinical and by H2 breath test. Treatment is removal of the causative disaccharide from the diet.
Swollen face may be due to an allergic sign. A less precise test of lactose intolerance can be done on someone by having the person follow these steps:
* Drink two cups of milk on an empty stomach and watching for signs of intestinal discomfort over the next several hours.
* The following day, eat two ounces of hard cheese or drink two cups of lactose-free milk.
If symptoms are experienced only on the first day, the person being tested may be lactose-intolerant. If symptoms are experienced on both days, the person may have an allergy to dairy products, which is unrelated to lactose intolerance.
Please see the web pages for more details on Lactose intolerance.
Reply:no but it could be allergy.here are the diffrences:
Allergy:gives you hives and you swell up
lactose and tollerent: hurt your stomach and you have problems with body functions
Reply:I know for infants that a swollen tosh (rashlike), and irritated private, is a definate sign. I would think that a swollen face can be an indicator also, expecially if u just reassumed the eating of dairy products.

Reply:Hi, you've probably irritated your skin through rubbing too hard. If you find that you get more of these pimples and spots, it may be because you're over stimulating your oil glands, which will cause these spots to continue. Try not to scrub too hard :-) Try not to touch the spots and pimples and keep them clean. They should clear up soon :-) Hope this helps!

Razor bumps from shaving my face!!!!!!?
Okay, recently I have started shaving my face (I'm 15, just started). I've shaved previously, but there was barely any hair on my face and I've never gotten bumps. Last week I noticed I've had razor bumps on my face (sideburns area). I shave once a day.
Questions:
-Should I use a disposable razor for sensitive skin? How many blades?
-What's aftershave do? Does it help reduce bumps?
-What type of shaving cream? Gel or foam?
Thanks.
Razor bumps from shaving my face!!!!!!?
The more blades, the better. Try Schick Quatro (i like those). I personally prefer gel, but I don't know what to tell you about that for your face. Make sure you clean your face before you shave! And clean the razor after you shave. You need some form of facial cleanser after you shave. I know this will sound like an old person, but try witch hazel :) smells gross, but it is very affordable and doesn't sting and dry out your face like alcohol. And it's used for skin irritations.
Good luck!

Reply:Get a GOOD razor! Mac 3 or the new one with 5 blades. Make sure to first put a warm wet towel on your face to smooth your face and have it ready to shave.. Use a shaving cream for sensitive skin (gel) .. I wouldn't use aftershave.
Reply:simple answer dude...dont shave at all..you dont grow any hair..
Reply:Razor burn usually occurs when you use a dull razor. The heavyduty razors work best, disposables dull after the very first use. Aftershave is meant to moisturize the shaved area. Gel usually moisturizes better than the foam, as well.

How can i keep my face nourish everday..?
i really dont wear make-up cause i get easily iritate on them. I have an oily face and just go out on simple face powder and colored lip balm. So do you have any suggestions on any cheap products i can use as everday regime for my face...
How can i keep my face nourish everday..?
water therapy is the best^^, 8 glasses a day
balanced diet, and enough sleep...
it's true, you don't have to use products to apply on your skin because you're only cleaning the outside....it's pointless if you're unhealthy inside^^, + do not eat oily foods... try to be vegetarian
Reply:aside from exercise,balanced diet, enough sleep and drinking of at least 8 glasses of water daily. taking a vitamin e like myra-e 400 i.u. also helps and of course maybe you wanna try the following Avon Naturals for oily skin:
1.) Purifying Toner - Deep cleans while tightening pores.
2.) Purifying Daily Pore Cleanser - Removes blackheads and pimples.
3.) Purifying Deep Wash Cleanser - Instantly removes oil from skin.
4.) Purifying Clay Mask
here in the Philippines, Avon is among of those brands that has affordable prices and also effective!

Why is my face getting red?
I have very fair skin, and in the winter when the heat is on indoors, my face gets flushed. I'm not hot at all. (and they're not red from being out in the cold). It's embarassing though because nothing makes it go away except like cool packs on my face (not really possible while at work!)
This happens to my husband too (also very fair skinned). Anyone know why this is happening and what to do about it?
thanks!
Why is my face getting red?
This may relate to a condition called rosacea. Rosacea can be aggravated by heat and cold, but can also be aggravated by foods, medications and even products you put on the skin.

Face mites?
my budgie has face mites and i want to now how to get rid of them help plz
Face mites?
Since the birds face is very small and birds eyes are very sensitive to chemicals, you must not use any spray or dust, for a face treatment I use a regular "petroleum jelly" with a cu tip I apply to the effected areas, if it comes on feathers too do not worry after few bath it will be OK,
What petroleum jelly do, any mites that are alive will get stock on the gel, the gel will prevent the mite eggs to be hatched, after application to not provide bath water for a few days like 3-4 days, after 14 days even you don't see any mites on your Bird, mite eggs will be present, repeat the procedure to get of all the face mite, you have to clean the cage too, few days ago I had answered to similar question read and follow your feathered friend will thank you by his or her chirping.
Reply:If you bird has face mites, you need to get prescription medication from a veterinarian. Over the counter medications for such problems are not effective in curing the condition...
Reply:I used to breed parakeets/budgies. I used 7-Dust which you can get from KMart, Walmart or a garden shop.
Simply dust your bird with it as you would a cat or dog with flea powder, making sure to hold a cotton ball over their eyes.
7-Dust is made from dried up chrysanthemum flowers and is NOT toxic.
Clean the cage thoroughly to get rid of any eggs that may be present and repeat the dusting every few days if the itching continues.

i wear face down because whenever i walk i always rub with wall so better i wear face down as i dont want it got scratch. :-)
Who wear watch face down and why?
I don't wear a watch anymore. I was either losing them when I took them off to work on electrical gear, or when I found a plastic watch that I could wear safely, I'd get the face all scratched up no matter what position I wore it in. Now that I have a cell phone with a clock built in, I don't need a watch anymore.

How do i make my face less oily?
my face is always shiny all day and i hate it, i wanna have a smooth face thats kinda dull but not shiny like it is....i dont get pimples that much maybe once in a while but theyre not huge and i dont have acne....but i just wanna know how to make my face less shiny .... and for all those ppl who are smart-asses and are gonna say "just wipe it with a towel" - dont even bother
How do i make my face less oily?
Try adding more water to your diet and using an oil free cleanser if you're not already doing so. Also you can keep a pack of clean%26amp;clear's oil absorbing sheets; they're great for getting rid of that oily look to give your face a fresh appearance
Reply:Actually, oily skin is often caused by skin that is too dry and so the skin produces more oil than needed. washing oyur face compulsively is probably not the best choice. wash in the morning and use a good oilfree moisturizer (mary kay has a good "oil free hydrating jell"). though i am not an expert, i will say "try not to use foundation every day" because it clogspores and keeps the skin from breathing. I actually agree with using a light powder that you can apply with a brush. and those oil absorbing papers? those are handy. and wash again at night, using a moisturizer.
Reply:Apply a mixture of sandalwood powder,indian gram flour and rose water.
Reply:I use a regular bar soap like Ivory, and it really reduces oil without making your skin really tense. A lot of the acne specialized face washes can make it tingly and tight, but the Ivory soap doesn't do that. After that I use witch hazel (in a mixture with alcohol and aloe) to make my skin more toned. My skin is very sensitive and blotchy, so I also use a simple skin tone powder to make my skin more refined and smooth.
I don't know if this helps, but good luck anyway!
Reply:The best way is that don't put any cream. Have Green leafy veggies. This allows your skin to be healthy. Wash your face with a good face wash and you will look beautiful.
Reply:don't listen to n8tive 45 2006, cover up is just as bad as putting baby oil on your face!!! try washing your face 1-3 times a day with an oil free soap. wash it every morning when you wake up, when you take a shower and right before you go to bed. hope i helped!!!
Reply:Oily skin care
The first basic rule for oily skin care is to keep it clean so as to kill acne-causing bacteria. It is essential to unclog the pores with exfoliation to prevent breakouts. Washing your face with warm water and cleanser is preferable to using harsh soaps. Warm water helps in keeping the skin oil free. Antibacterial cleansing lotions can also be used to keep the skin acne-free. Mild acne medications have a drying effect on oily skin.
Choose cosmetics and facial care products with care. Oily skin make up items must be water-based since oil-based cosmetics can aggravate the oiliness and create blemishes. Clay masks and mud masks work well for oily skin. They remove the excess oil that is found in the skin. But do not excessively dry the upper layer of the skin with chemical products. Use of harsh products can leave the skin feeling taut and dehydrated. This may be counterproductive since the skin will produce more oil to compensate the loss. This is a reaction called 'reactive seborrhea', where the oil glands work at a frenetic pace to compensate for the loss of natural oils.
Treatment for oily skin
There is no magical cure for oily skin. Regular care and appropriate treatment of oily skin can go a long way in keeping it clean and blemish free. Massage your face with upward and outward motions when cleansing it. Using warm water to dissolve skin oil while washing it is a good treatment for oily skin. But do not use very hot water as it can strip the skin of essential oils. Do not expect results overnight. What is required is a holistic treatment of oily skin - internally and externally.
White or pink clay masks gently cleanse oily skin of excess oil. The darker brown clay masks are stronger and more effective on very oily skins. Apply a clarifying facemask couple of times a week.
Aromatherapy oils such as lemon, rosemary and cedar wood are said to be effective in treating oily skin. A few drops of any of these oils combined with lanolin can be massaged into the skin.
Dermatologists to tackle sensitive oily skins prescribe Topical Vitamin derivatives with ingredients such as tretinoin and isotretinoin.
Products containing Benzoyl Peroxide also form part of the treatment for oily skin. They unplug pores and reduce bacteria.
Antibiotic creams and lotions such as erythromycin and clindamycin are effective in treating blemished oily skin.
Lotions containing AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) can help oily skin become softer and smoother.
Home remedy for oily skin
Fruit acids have shown a positive effect in oily skin treatment. They remove oil from the skin and yet retain the moisture. Home remedies such as cucumber juice, limejuice and yogurt are effective in keeping oily skin under control. A mask of Aloe Vera, crushed strawberries and yogurt is an astringent for oily skin. Keep it on for about 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water. Some simple home remedies for oily skin:
1. Puree 1 egg white, 1-tsp. Lemon juice, 1-tsp. Mint and ½ cucumber and apply it on the face for about 15 minutes.
2. A puree of fresh tomatoes works wonders on oily skin.
3. A facemask of tomato, lemon juice and oats must be applied on the cheeks, forehead and chin. Scrub your face with warm water. This home remedy for oily skin is ideal for blemishes.
4. A clay mask is yet another home remedy for oily skin since it draws out excess oil.
5. If your skin is excessively oily, mix in a few drops of eau de cologne. This not only helps keep oiliness away but also helps in refining the pores of the skin by acting as astringent, thereby preventing acne.
Take a diet that is rich in proteins, with plenty of leafy vegetables and fresh fruits. Restrict sugar and high-fat foods and junk food. Supplement your food with wheat germ, nutritional yeast and whole grains, beans and nuts. Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated and flush out toxins.
Make up for oily skin
Choose cosmetic and facial care products specifically designed for oily skin. Use oil-free moisturizers for a shine-free complexion. You can use an antiseptic day cream before applying makeup to oily skin. This will keep sebaceous secretions under control. Makeup for oily skin hinges on creating a matte effect.
You must use foundations that block out shine and non-pore clogging formula. Use concealer to hide blemishes and spots. Loose powder can keep you looking fresh all day long and absorb the excess oil too. Most women with oily skin cant do without this makeup item. Powder blushes work well on oily skin than cream blushers.
SKIN CARE
Cleansing
Cleansing is the first essential step in your daily skin care routine.
Cleansing the face 2-3 times a day; is adequate for normal skin. If your skin is oily a more frequent cleansing i.e. 4-5 times a day is necessary. If your skin is dry it is best to avoid frequent washing and you may have to use a suitable oil-based cosmetic cleanser instead of soap, which has a dry effect.
There are several alternatives to soap and water cleansing. Cleansers can be in the form of creams, milks, lotions, gels and liquids. All are, a mixture of oil, wax and water, which have been formulated to suit different skin types. A cotton -pad dipped in fresh milk available at home, is an equally effective cleanser.
The right way to apply cleansers and creams on your face is in an upward and outward movement. The skin should not be stretched, dragged or pulled. Leave the cleanser on for a minute or two so as to loosen the dirt and make up. Remove it either using a cotton wool or with a tissue paper, again using an upward and out ward movement. Finally rinse with water.
Masks
Basically all face masks have some sort of a cleansing action. Various ingredients are used in the masks, depending on the skin type. Clay, form an important constituent of many facemasks. They help to remove dirt, sebum, and dead skin so that the skin looks clean, soft and youthful.
Fuller’s earth is a special type of clay often used in face packs. It contains aluminum silicate. As it dries on the skin, it absorbs the superficial dead cells and blots up any excessive oil on the skin. It is therefore excellent for an oily skin but should not be used on dry skin. Kaolin is also fine clay that has been used for tummy upsets because it absorbs toxins from the system. It removes grime, oils and dead cells. Kaolin is also best for oily skin and best avoided for dry skin.
Another ingredient of some of the masks is the peeling or the exfoliating agent-these remove the top layer of dead cells from the skin, leaving behind fresh youthful skin. Oatmeal and bran are the commonly used peelers. Oatmeal is obtained from oats that is rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E
Also added to many masks are natural ingredients-cucumbers, curds, lemon juice and Brewer's Yeast. It restores the acid / alkali balance of the skin.
Reply:hmm...first, keep your face clean always. wash your face with a mild soap. an unscented soap would be better. then, if you're outside and you could feel the oil shining your face again, you could use one of those oil absorbing films or paper. it doesn't really remove all of the oil, but it hepls minimize the supershine.
it's okay to have oily face since you won't get too much wrinkles when you get old.
don't forget to moisturize. yes you read that right. moisturize. oily skinned people also get dry skin especially in air conditioned rooms. so make sure to apply WATER based moisturizers when you're about to expose yourself to very cold areas.(don't worry,water based moisturizers won't make your face shinier and oilier)
Reply:try a compact powder.. that matches your skin of course.. of some kind of powder you can put on ur face to make it look less oily
Reply:Try using an astringent, like witch hazel, it really does a great job, of getting rid of the oil, on you skin.
Reply:Wash your face compulsively. That's the best I have.
Reply:you are apply some gel to control the t-zone oil. (it is different than day cream.) when you find yourself oily, u can apply the product to absorb the oil. they will become dry quickly. besides, you can also select some day cream which have control-oil function.) For me, i always apply day cream then t-mat (fm Chanel, not expensive. trust me) and sunscreeen.
always bring oil-absorbing paper in yr handbags, it does help a lot while you can't apply the gel. and ;) more convenient
Reply:Drink a lot of water and avoid junk food. Wash your face with a oil-free soap.
How do i make my face less oily?
Try adding more water to your diet and using an oil free cleanser if you're not already doing so. Also you can keep a pack of clean%26amp;clear's oil absorbing sheets; they're great for getting rid of that oily look to give your face a fresh appearance
Reply:Actually, oily skin is often caused by skin that is too dry and so the skin produces more oil than needed. washing oyur face compulsively is probably not the best choice. wash in the morning and use a good oilfree moisturizer (mary kay has a good "oil free hydrating jell"). though i am not an expert, i will say "try not to use foundation every day" because it clogspores and keeps the skin from breathing. I actually agree with using a light powder that you can apply with a brush. and those oil absorbing papers? those are handy. and wash again at night, using a moisturizer.
Reply:Apply a mixture of sandalwood powder,indian gram flour and rose water.
Reply:I use a regular bar soap like Ivory, and it really reduces oil without making your skin really tense. A lot of the acne specialized face washes can make it tingly and tight, but the Ivory soap doesn't do that. After that I use witch hazel (in a mixture with alcohol and aloe) to make my skin more toned. My skin is very sensitive and blotchy, so I also use a simple skin tone powder to make my skin more refined and smooth.
I don't know if this helps, but good luck anyway!
Reply:The best way is that don't put any cream. Have Green leafy veggies. This allows your skin to be healthy. Wash your face with a good face wash and you will look beautiful.
Reply:don't listen to n8tive 45 2006, cover up is just as bad as putting baby oil on your face!!! try washing your face 1-3 times a day with an oil free soap. wash it every morning when you wake up, when you take a shower and right before you go to bed. hope i helped!!!
Reply:Oily skin care
The first basic rule for oily skin care is to keep it clean so as to kill acne-causing bacteria. It is essential to unclog the pores with exfoliation to prevent breakouts. Washing your face with warm water and cleanser is preferable to using harsh soaps. Warm water helps in keeping the skin oil free. Antibacterial cleansing lotions can also be used to keep the skin acne-free. Mild acne medications have a drying effect on oily skin.
Choose cosmetics and facial care products with care. Oily skin make up items must be water-based since oil-based cosmetics can aggravate the oiliness and create blemishes. Clay masks and mud masks work well for oily skin. They remove the excess oil that is found in the skin. But do not excessively dry the upper layer of the skin with chemical products. Use of harsh products can leave the skin feeling taut and dehydrated. This may be counterproductive since the skin will produce more oil to compensate the loss. This is a reaction called 'reactive seborrhea', where the oil glands work at a frenetic pace to compensate for the loss of natural oils.
Treatment for oily skin
There is no magical cure for oily skin. Regular care and appropriate treatment of oily skin can go a long way in keeping it clean and blemish free. Massage your face with upward and outward motions when cleansing it. Using warm water to dissolve skin oil while washing it is a good treatment for oily skin. But do not use very hot water as it can strip the skin of essential oils. Do not expect results overnight. What is required is a holistic treatment of oily skin - internally and externally.
White or pink clay masks gently cleanse oily skin of excess oil. The darker brown clay masks are stronger and more effective on very oily skins. Apply a clarifying facemask couple of times a week.
Aromatherapy oils such as lemon, rosemary and cedar wood are said to be effective in treating oily skin. A few drops of any of these oils combined with lanolin can be massaged into the skin.
Dermatologists to tackle sensitive oily skins prescribe Topical Vitamin derivatives with ingredients such as tretinoin and isotretinoin.
Products containing Benzoyl Peroxide also form part of the treatment for oily skin. They unplug pores and reduce bacteria.
Antibiotic creams and lotions such as erythromycin and clindamycin are effective in treating blemished oily skin.
Lotions containing AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) can help oily skin become softer and smoother.
Home remedy for oily skin
Fruit acids have shown a positive effect in oily skin treatment. They remove oil from the skin and yet retain the moisture. Home remedies such as cucumber juice, limejuice and yogurt are effective in keeping oily skin under control. A mask of Aloe Vera, crushed strawberries and yogurt is an astringent for oily skin. Keep it on for about 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water. Some simple home remedies for oily skin:
1. Puree 1 egg white, 1-tsp. Lemon juice, 1-tsp. Mint and ½ cucumber and apply it on the face for about 15 minutes.
2. A puree of fresh tomatoes works wonders on oily skin.
3. A facemask of tomato, lemon juice and oats must be applied on the cheeks, forehead and chin. Scrub your face with warm water. This home remedy for oily skin is ideal for blemishes.
4. A clay mask is yet another home remedy for oily skin since it draws out excess oil.
5. If your skin is excessively oily, mix in a few drops of eau de cologne. This not only helps keep oiliness away but also helps in refining the pores of the skin by acting as astringent, thereby preventing acne.
Take a diet that is rich in proteins, with plenty of leafy vegetables and fresh fruits. Restrict sugar and high-fat foods and junk food. Supplement your food with wheat germ, nutritional yeast and whole grains, beans and nuts. Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated and flush out toxins.
Make up for oily skin
Choose cosmetic and facial care products specifically designed for oily skin. Use oil-free moisturizers for a shine-free complexion. You can use an antiseptic day cream before applying makeup to oily skin. This will keep sebaceous secretions under control. Makeup for oily skin hinges on creating a matte effect.
You must use foundations that block out shine and non-pore clogging formula. Use concealer to hide blemishes and spots. Loose powder can keep you looking fresh all day long and absorb the excess oil too. Most women with oily skin cant do without this makeup item. Powder blushes work well on oily skin than cream blushers.
SKIN CARE
Cleansing
Cleansing is the first essential step in your daily skin care routine.
Cleansing the face 2-3 times a day; is adequate for normal skin. If your skin is oily a more frequent cleansing i.e. 4-5 times a day is necessary. If your skin is dry it is best to avoid frequent washing and you may have to use a suitable oil-based cosmetic cleanser instead of soap, which has a dry effect.
There are several alternatives to soap and water cleansing. Cleansers can be in the form of creams, milks, lotions, gels and liquids. All are, a mixture of oil, wax and water, which have been formulated to suit different skin types. A cotton -pad dipped in fresh milk available at home, is an equally effective cleanser.
The right way to apply cleansers and creams on your face is in an upward and outward movement. The skin should not be stretched, dragged or pulled. Leave the cleanser on for a minute or two so as to loosen the dirt and make up. Remove it either using a cotton wool or with a tissue paper, again using an upward and out ward movement. Finally rinse with water.
Masks
Basically all face masks have some sort of a cleansing action. Various ingredients are used in the masks, depending on the skin type. Clay, form an important constituent of many facemasks. They help to remove dirt, sebum, and dead skin so that the skin looks clean, soft and youthful.
Fuller’s earth is a special type of clay often used in face packs. It contains aluminum silicate. As it dries on the skin, it absorbs the superficial dead cells and blots up any excessive oil on the skin. It is therefore excellent for an oily skin but should not be used on dry skin. Kaolin is also fine clay that has been used for tummy upsets because it absorbs toxins from the system. It removes grime, oils and dead cells. Kaolin is also best for oily skin and best avoided for dry skin.
Another ingredient of some of the masks is the peeling or the exfoliating agent-these remove the top layer of dead cells from the skin, leaving behind fresh youthful skin. Oatmeal and bran are the commonly used peelers. Oatmeal is obtained from oats that is rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E

Face bumps?
my friend had a lot of bumps on her cheeks so she went to see a dermatologist. the derm. told her that it was clogged pores and then prescribed her some medication. i'm guessing its clogged pores, so make sure you thoroughly wash your face and you might want to get that prescription medication from the derm.
Reply:Exfoliate :) (St Ives exfoliating face wash is brilliant and your skin feels soft as soon as you rinse it) also make sure you use moisturiser day and night.
Reply:if u have real roses at your house,take half rose add that in to water.put it in fridge for 1 hour.wash your face with that water.that's the best.u can also use milk instead of water but if u use milk u have to wash ur face with plain water.
