Reduce the shine.

[aliva]

Oily skin has the disadvantage of making your face look shiny as well as having a tendency to breakout into pimples. Good news is oily skin age more slowly than dry skins. You can take following measures to reduce the shine.

- Wash your face with a suitable soap [which is not too harsh] about thrice a day.
- Avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun, wear water based sunscreen and protective coating.
- Use creams and make-up with a water-base.
- Use a mild astringent to tone your skin.

I think I read this somewhere already. But thanks for sharing again. My dermatologist tells me that drinking frappuccinos from Starbucks (my favorite) can also cause breakouts because of the high fat content. I can't wait for the day when all my oil glands stop functioning. I'm sure I'll be shine free and pimple free from then on.
