What you think about you bring about!!!

A:

As others here have stated, you have to treat oily skin as 'sensitive' skin; my dermatologist told me this years ago and I was amazed as I'd never thought of it that way.....He recommended Dove and I was surprised; Dove? with 1/4 cleansing creme, for oily skin????? he said yes, it is a detergent (not a bad word!!) and it cleans, then rinses off in a flash, & he had patients with both dry and oily skin whose skin really benefited from it.......you must also use, as someone else here said, something slightly acidic after you rinse off your cleanser.....you could use, as they said, apple cider vinegar, DILUTED BY HALF!! or easier yet, plain old Witch Hazel; and always the store brand.....put it in a little 3 oz spray bottle and after you rinse off, spray some on your inside fingers and apply all over your face....you MUST moisturize, just use those made for oily skin....I find plain old Baby Lotion (again, the STORE BRAND; those dollars add up!!).....to exfoliate, again, SAVE YOUR MONEY & just use BAKIN SODA>>>>>>>>pour some in your palm, add a few drops of water at a time to from a paste, and gently massage over the face, starting with your forehead...keep your forehead relaxed....then down the rest of the face....do this 2 or 3 times, then rinse rinse rinse with COOL, NOT cold water.......then blot dry and apply your moisturizer; again, either baby lotion or cocoa butter......see how much money I'm saving you?? haha....

Again, you DO NOT have to spend a lot of money on skincare!!!!!!!

If you follow these steps, you will, as you get older, have great looking skin!!
