Friends.. Ive been having oily face lately such that i get so many pimples. I have also started changing my soaps in the hope to lessen the oils. What i cannot do without though is the use of sunblock but i think my sunblock is the major reason why my face gets oily! This is so odd because i have been using this sunblock for many years and it is just now that my face is overacting like this.. Help!

I also have oily skin, and I hate it because it is the reason why I had so much pimple breakouts before. Anyway, I use the sunflower beauty oil from Human Heart Nature. I know that you will be hesitant to use it at first because it is oil. I was too. However, I am really happy with this product because it does a great job to make my face less oily. I no longer suffer from acne breakouts. What I do is that I massage it on my face for about three minutes then I remove the oil with a wet washcloth. I then rinse my face with soap and water. You should give it a try. My other friends tried it as well, and they loved the result. If it does not work for you though, I guess it is best if you consult your dermatologist about it.

You should definitely try the Sunflower oil! It does wonders for my acne-prone skin. :) I am not sure about the tomato soap though. Is it from Cyleina? I used it before; it only made my skin worse. My face became really red, and there were pimples and whiteheads everywhere. I gave the remaining soap to my cousin, and he also experienced the same. The good thing about the tomato soap though is that made my cheeks look reddish. However, you should still give it a try for it might work better for you.

Is your sunblock cream type? If so then it probably is giving you trouble and adding more burden to you. Try the gel type of sunblock. You can get one from flawless and it's not that expensive. Do you exfoliate your face everyday? I learned just a few days ago that skin exfoliation should be done only once a week because overdoing it can produce more oil to your skin and can make it more oily. Sometimes it could be brought about by the toxins in our body too. We all know how harsh the environment and the food that we eat everyday is. So the best way to eliminate these toxins are to sweat it out. The best exercise is cardio. Hope this info helped you.

My skintype has also changed from normal to combination skin,this is due to harmonal changes.Wash your face 2-3 times a day with cold water.Start using CTM (cleansing toning moisturising)for oily skin of wellknown brand.Moisturisers are available with sunblock,so no need to buy different tube.CTM daily in morning and evening help you a lot,and makes your skin healthy.(`.`)
