Oily face

It sounds like your face wash problem is drying up your skin, that's why it's more oily.

What product do you use now?
The more you wash, the more dry your skin is and the more oil your face will become!!
Try to use Cleansing milk or not too foamy face wash..try Clarins Cleansing milk for combination or oily skin..i changed to it recently and found my face is softer and less oily. I also have very oily skin but since i changed the brand it is much better now..

As for moisuriser, you must use oil free product...
Your face wash procedure should be like this:

1) Cleanse
2) Toner ( make sure it is alcohol free)
3) Serum to control oil
4) Moisuriser (oil free)
5) Sun block (oil free as well, suggest a Japanese brand Ettusais)
6) Foundation

If you don't put make up can skin step 6.


Hope the above helps.

Astringent with salicylic acid - Clean and Clear brand or Wal Mart generic brand will do the trick, 41% alchol and 2% salicylic acid.

I had problem finding the item in most drug stores in Hong Kong so I have to get it in US.

Try to go to Walt Mart in China, they may carry it. Let me know whether you can find it in Hong kong or China. My email is my abover screen name, then @yahoo.com at the end.
