hello everybody... skincare advice needed!!
My skin is incredibly oily. It never used to be, but since sorta the beginning of this year, its been a complete oil slick. My foundation just melts off. Before I start this is my skincare routine for when I take off my make up:
1) Johnsons baby wipes - removes eye make up and initial foundation
2) Garnier Clean & Soft complete cleansing milk - takes off rest of foundation
3) Nivea Visage Refreshing Toner
4) Origins No puffery cooling mask for puffy eyes
5) (Not everyday) The Body Shop Seaweed Pore Perfecter - reduces appearence - I recently introduced this to see if it'd help, so I know it isn't this that has caused my mega oily skin, because my skin was like this before
6) Nivea Visage Young 'Control Shine!' moisturiser.
So last night I did step one and two at about 2am when I got back, and thought I'm gonna try and get this spot out... Seriously this thing is HUGE. I NEVER get spots haha and it doesn't seem to want to go so I thought i'll try & get it, naughty I know. I was unsuccessful in removely this volcano type spot from my face, and I was so tired I brushed my teeth and got straight into bed, completely forgetting to do steps 3-6!
When I wake up... usually my face is like a complete oil slick.. SO SO SO shiny. I don't know what I do in my sleep considering my room is the coldest in the house, I must run a marathon or something because I always wake up so hot and my face is so shiny. So this morning, I woke up, not a single bit of shine to be seen. My face doesn't feel sticky or anything like it usually does.
So I'm wondering, is it possible something in steps 3-6 that is causing my skin to be excessively oily?? Has anyone got any suggestions or what to use instead??
TIA
