Bad skin
My skin has so much oil on it! I cleanse my face and everything, but then it gets grosley shiny. I also have a problem with blackheads. What should I do? I feel I'd be pretty if those things were gone! HELP!

Nah, you don't need to see a derm for oily skin. There's plenty you can do about shine and excess oil.
If you wear foundation, make sure that it's water-based, not oil-based. Wash your face with a cleanser made specifically for oily skin, and to control the shine during the day, you can use oil blotters or oil-obsorbing powder.
After you wash your face, try using a toner to suck up that extra bit of grime that gets left behind.
For blackheads, you'll want to use a scrub to exfoliate with about 3-5 times a day, depending on how sensitive your skin is. Don't waste your time with those strips that claim to pull crap out of your face. They're overpriced and they don't work. If you don't mind spending a bit of money, I'd reccommend a facial every 3 months or so. Most salons provide that service.
Remember though, that even if you have oily skin, you still need to use a moisturizer. Just make sure that the one you use (and everything else you use on your face) is not oil-based. Hope this helps.

I say it's always best to use a simple acne and oil fighting product; such as:

(which can be purhchased at Walgreens for $4.49)
or:

follwed immediately by:

Also, if you're willing to entertain the idea of a facial, those are awesome. Certain types target specific problems, so make sure to read the label. It's a fun, easy and CHEAP way to renew your skin. I usually get some friends together and make a night of it, but that's just me. :P If you're interested though, we keep it simple.. and use:

(that one claims to spefically target oily skin, but there's many different packets produced by that company.)
So yeah, those are the products I use, and I can honestly say I have seen nothing short of fantastic results. [:
Something else I'd like to add. I see you've been recommended Biore Pore Cleansing Strips? I've never personally tried them, so I can't give my opinion either way. However, a bunch of my friends have. They said it's the 'biggest joke on the market'.. (Just figured you might appreciate ALL opinions. :D)

try a face cleaner with an alcohol solution in it. i use the clinique clarifying lotion 2. it works pretty well at removing blackheads and keeping my face free of oil. they have a few other clarifying lotions as well..i think it goes 1-4or5 and its not too expensive...i think it was $10 for a 13.5 fl.oz. bottle. :)

Hey.. hmm thats a tough question. Id say to use Neutrogena or Clean And Clear acne scubs. I use this Neutrogena 60 Second scrub mask and it took out most of my blackheads ! If that doesnt work id recommend seeing a dermotologist cause theyre the only ones that will actually know whats wrong with your skin and maybe will prescribe something for you. =) good luck xO

The biore strips are good for blackheads, but maybe a trip to a dermatologist could help. He/she would be able to give you something that could get the shine away without drying out your skin.

you should try to find make up with something that says "oil free" on it.You dont want something with oil in it.Try using a a really good cleanser, i have the same problem as you, try neutrogena or clearsil prouducts they work very well.Try to get "clearsil black head remover" it also takes away shine too.TRy using those clotting papers too they dissolve oil right on the spot so you dont have the shine thorughtout the day i love using them! i highly reccommend them.Hope i could help you out!

You might want to see a dermatologist. Sometimes putting moisturizer on it actually clogs up the pores and makes it worse. A dermatologist will recommend a good soap or something to wash your face with to make your problems less noticible and/or go away completely.

Get Biore Shine Control - it works amazingly! Try to wear powder makeup instead of foundation, that makes you skin oily. Get astringent for your blackheads, or pop them and they'll be gone. You can also go to google and type in home remedies for oily skin. They have a bunch of recipes that work really well!
