Excessive oily skin!

help! Just in the past 2 weeks my skin (mostly my face) has been very oily. I can literally feel the oil on my skin and am having bad breakouts. I never had this problem before. I haven’t changed my diet, beauty products, the weather hasn’t changed, or anything else. Also, my skin has been itchy, especially on my legs and arms. What is it? Is it a sign that something is wrong with my health? Anyone else deal with this?

Answer #1

HellO! I have this problem as well and even my hair has turned oily. This occurs for about a week and a half once a month since I had my second child… it is all down to hormones for me, perhaps that is the case with you? I have yet to do anything about it and am seeking answers as well. Good luck to you!

Answer #2

Ohh if only! I wash my face just twice a day and avoid touching my skin! It’s such a recent problem…I just don’t know and the last time I went to see a dermatologist they have me meds that just made it worse…But thanks for the advice on the cleanser. Maybe I’ll try that and see if it helps.

Answer #3

I, too have very oily skin. If you are not seeing a dermatologist, it would be a good idea to go. I would recommend washing your face twice a day (when you wake up, and before you go to bed) with Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash. It comes in a little bottle with orange liquid inside. It works well, cleaning out your pores. It’s light and smells nice. I guarantee that it will make your skin feel clean. But definately go to the dermatologist because I went and they gave me medicine and it helped a lot. Good luck. Don’t forget to wash your face. Try not to touch your face too much and make sure your hands are clean when touching it (if nessesscery) or applying cream and medicine. Good luck!
