Greasy Skin

I have really greasy skin which goes extremely greasy very quickly. I use anti shine moisturiser and matte foundation and am still really shiny within an hour. Is there anything I can do to release this shinyness because it make me very paranoid. Thanks

Eat healthier foods?

why anon?

Hm, maybe you could try a stronger moisturiser? OC8 (it's about 8 pounds for a tube :eek:

) claims to stop your face from shining with sciency words.

I use the witch hazel clear complexion (because that's all I can afford, it works in the winter, useless in the summer because it's just not strong enough).

But, if you're skint you can get a free sample of OC8 somewhere online, give it a google.

I carry face wipes with me in my purse, and clean my face and re-apply foundation if it gets bad...

erm change soaps that you are using, you can go to like the clinique counter and see what they think. you may be washing your face too often with a soap thats too strong which means your skin is making more oil to compensate. if not then you can take around some powder with you which should stop the shine or you can buy these little books made of some special paper you can get it from everywhere (but superdrugs the cheapest) and you rip out a page and just rub it gently over your skin and it gets rid of the grease and stops it being shiny (my friend used them and they are really good)
