sometimes my face would get like really oily, and I'm starting highschool in september, and I really want to get rid of the oil. what can I use or do to get rid of excess oil for a long period of time, or atleast long enough to get me through 7-8 hours of school
Nevaeh314 answered Friday August 5 2005, 11:08 am: Wash your face each morning and put some of that powdered pancake on it to get rid of the oil. I would suggest keeping powder in your locker to use during the day if you need to. A lot of people go through stages where their faces get extremely oily, especially if you've recently (in the last year or two) gotten your period. Using a face wash specially designed to reduce oily buildups can help, too. Watch commercials, and if you get a teen magazine they're on about every other page ;). Hope this helps!
Love,

You can try rubbing alcohol it's totally cheap and I'm sure you have some laying around the house. It made her face a little dry the first couple days but after that it was fine you can also try some oil-free make up trust me it works wonders.

xRoOxiSxBlOnDex answered Thursday August 4 2005, 4:40 pm: Get some oil free makeup if you don't have it now. Otherwise, just make sure to wash your face every morning and night. Also, get some powder foundation, that will cover up the oil look.

craZlilchelC152 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 4:36 pm: Well there are a couple oil-free washes (one is nuetrogena i believe it*s just nuetrogena oil free wash) also make sure you wear powder, if you want to get rid of it on the spot (no matter where you are) get oil blotting papers, the suckers are amazing.. they look like little strips of wax paper and you blot it on your face anytime (it doesn*t remove your makeup either just the oil) you can buy these @ target or more expensive ones from clinique or mary kay!! hope i helped!! xoxo, chelsea [ craZlilchelC152's advice column | Ask craZlilchelC152 A Question ]
nvme119 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 4:30 pm: Go to the nearest drugstore/pharmecy and get an exfoliator for your face. Make sure the container it comes in say..."for oily skin." You should wash your face for it everday in the morning when you wake up, and at night before you go to bed. After that apply a face moisturizer that is oil free. I forgot which brand ...but their is a company that makes these little tissues for your face. You pat in on your face and it absorbs the excess oil. Also do you use make-up? If so make sure it is oil free. Good Luck <3 [ nvme119's advice column | Ask nvme119 A Question ]
