My skin feels generally right, but my T zone feels extra greasy. What would I do about it? I tried papaya soap but it then really makes my skin really dry it tends to secrete more oil than the usual. I could not even last an hour without getting my skin with oil again after blotting my face with an oil control. Pft.

my skin is combination, and sometimes, mostly when i was younger, it gets oily in the t-zone. i have developed many methods that helped. 1. wash ur face daily with glycerin soap. use a natural mask. let it dry on ur face for 10 to 15 minutes, and then splash off with warm water. after you pat ur face dry, use an astringent or toner. a good one is witch hazel. also, consider steaming ur face to open ur pores. then, pat dry before put a facial mask on ur face. let dry on face and then splash water on it from the skin to wash it off. steam ur face once a week. 2. drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, and in each glass, put a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. 3. don't eat junk food or oily food or sweets. it tends to aggravate skin and make it oilier. try to snack on healthy food, like fruit and vegetables.

Hi Resssaaa, I also have an oily skin since I am young.My face looks oily and I wash it at least twice a day with facial foam. Sometimes, I also used plain water to just wash away my face, to make my face feel more comfortable if it looks very oily. I used to getting away the xtra oil from my face using blotters. I love to use Fancl and Shiseido blotter. I am currently using Clinique product for my face. Their product is good and suit me.I have been using it for more than 10 years. After using the scrub and face mask, my skin is looking better day by day. I also apply Moisturizer especially for oily skin, to make my skin looks more natural. Which cosmetic product you are using now??
