Hey there everyone,
I've always had greasy skin.. like, EXTREAMLY greasy. So greasy and within an hour of washing my face, my skin is soaking, and totally disgusting and shiny.
And its not just shine, its GREASE. Cause when i whipe it off, its thick and gross.
This as always been an issue for me,
I use shine control cleanser,
i dont eat greasy foods..
what the hell is going on!?

You need to drink a lot of water.
You'd be surprised but a lot of those products such as clean and clear can actually harm your face.
My personal advice would be to head down to your local chemist and buy a bottle or 'Witch Hazel' preferably one that's mixed with rosewater. It'll dry up greasy skin but not make your skin dry at the same time. It does wonders for your skin, I switched to it and I really see the results.
Then just moisturize with with any good moisturizer. Again try to refrain from the spot oriented ones etc.
A good face wash helps too. I recommend any Nivea face wash
Try eating fruit and veg as well and exercise. It all helps your skin.

hmm I agree with the posts above.
Some people have over producing sebum oil glands... There is medication for that. So a dermatoligist or GP might be good for you.
Or in New Zealand grocery stores have herbal treatments go browse the racks to see if they have something for sebum oil glands...
im sure its zinc thats good for oily skin?

I've heard that the more products you use on your face can like stimulate the oil/grease..so if your using loadsss of products maybe cut down and see how it goes for a while?
