Hi guys,

Looking for opinions on the best things I can do for my skin to 1) get rid of oil and 2) stop getting zits. I'm 28 years old and I've always had oily skin. My skin gets oily ~5-10 minutes post-shower and post-exfoilation; with or without makeup. I typically wear my hair pulled back from my face in a ponytail because I can't imagine even more oil. So I'm looking for a routine that will help both of these issues - cleaners, cleansers, toners, exfoliators, and moisturizers (which scare me currently, because...oil.)

Any advice is appreciated.

You actually NEED moisturizer with oily skin. If you strip your skin of too much moisture it becomes oiler as a result. Try to find a light oil free one.

 
Have you tried using a clay mask? Vitamin Shoppe has an Indian healing clay mask, I'd mix it with apple cider vinegar rather than water ( it seems to come off easier that was too). It's also pretty cheap and lasts awhile. If you're skipping the moisturizer you can be making your skin over dry which causes it to produce more oil. I also recommend changing your pillow case every 2-3 days. Clean and Clear has a toner that's blue and I like it a lot.

 
Oily skin is the toughest skin type to handle.It's important to find out resaon of your acne.In adults, acne is caused due to hormonal changes or due to deficiency of essential nutrients and minerals.Eating a well-balanced diet of whole foods like fruits and vegetables can certainly help with your overall well-being.
