Anyone have this? Lol, even after cleaning it with astringent cleaners, my face later on still becomes oily. Is it because of the olive oil/butter I'm consuming?

Re: Oily Face
Yep, just call me a grease kid. I actually don't mind it because my skin has a natural high-pro glow to it...healthy looking!
I've read alot about the same issue, and folks seem to find that it's the oils and fats that we take in.Comment

Re: Oily Face
Can't say I've noticed any change. Would rather like to have rather more oily skin, actually...particularly my calfs (calves ?) which tend to get lizard-like. I spend a fortune on moisturisers.
Maybe drinking more water would lessen the oily skin for those who have this prob. I say this with absolutely no scientific knowledge... just a "feeling". Might be worth a try, and certainly won't do any harm.Before and after:

Re: Oily Face
I personally haven't noticed this...in fact, my face seems LESS oily, probably because my diet is healthier and I drink a ton of water. One reason for over-production of oils is dry skin. Are you drinking enough water? Is your skin moisturized? Once your skin regains some moisture, it will stop producing so much oil.START 8/16/06 @ 270+~MG1: 220-12/2/06~MG2: 210-1/07~MG3: 199-3/2/07~MG4: 190-4/27/07~MG5: 180-7/04/07~GOAL: 170

Re: Oily Face
I was going to recommend MAC Blot powder, but now that I see that you're a guy, I'm not sure you want to go that route.Comment

Re: Oily Face
Haha, I have no clue what that is
. When I move onto OWL Rung 1, I think I might see it clear up, who knows.
