I have combination skin with oiliness around my T-zone. I've figured out several ways to cut down on the oil.
- Buy a good oil-free moisturizer. If skin is dry, the body will produce more oil to sustain it. Even if it doesn't feel dry, moisturize anyways.
- Drink plenty of water. I know you've probably heard this a thousand times but seriously, more water and less dairy. Dairy is hell on the skin. About a year ago, I had to quit all dairy because I found out I was lactose intolerant. My skin thanks me.
- Don't overwash. Twice a day is it. During the day, if you feel that your skin is becoming oily, splash with cool water and pat dry. Do not wash again even if you feel the urge.
I hope some of these suggestions work. For a moisturizer, I use Olay Complete all day moisture with spf 15. You're skin is no doubt different than mine so it might not have the same affect but I hope it works.
