Oily Skin Help me please!!!

I have really oily skin. I heard from my aunt that sulfur works best. Is this true?

I am a little bit skeptical

I am a little bit skeptical about sulfur, I mean it doesn't really sounds too health. Have you asked a medic about that? Usually skin represents the image of your health, and I think you should try fixing this inside out: take care to the food you eat, the air you breath, the products you use. Of course there are many other factors to discuss here, but you should try fixing the internal problem and then get to the external approach. I can tell you by experience that natural products are the best. I am having actually dry skin and I use specific spray moisturizer and I can't complain about it so far.

Oil Moisturizer

Hmmm... I'm not so sure about sulfur for oily skin. I know it works well - within moderation - for severe acne. (My brother had severe acne as a teen.)

Have you tried any oil cleansers and oil moisturizers?

I use a mix of jojoba and babassu oil on my skin, every night. Others swear by the OIL CLEANSING METHOD or oil cleansers by DHC or Shiseido. (I'm still experimenting with those.....)

I also suggest that you check your cleanser and toner (if you use one.) Sometimes, people with oily skin tend to use products that are too harsh and dry ou the skin, which then makes your sebum glands go into overdrive - producing even more oil.... I stay away from any products that are geared to "clear blemishes" or treat "acne-prone" or "teenage" skin. I've been washing my face with Paula's Choice products - or more recently with California Baby Super Sensitive Shampoo & Bodywash. (I started using the baby product on a recent buiness trip, when I forgot my toiletry kit . This stuff looked like a nice mild multi-purpose product for face and body.... and it worked for me.)

PS: the California Baby Super Sensitive Shampoo & Bodywash also makes an excellent makeup brush cleaner.
