Oily Skin Of Doom

[Naxiaa30]

So summers here and low and behold the OILY skin returns.... What are some products that you guys used to fight this on going battle with "Mr" Oil. Currnetly i am using Oil Control Lotion by MAC ( of course) and the Face Prep & Prime, with my faithful Blot powder in Dark....But what other products are out there????

The routine that works for me really well (and I am an oil slick!) is: moisturize skin after cleansing with Clean and Clear Soft with SPF15, prep skin with Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel, and then apply my Every Day Minerals foundation followed by their finishing dust. Then I just carry around a mini sample jar of foundation for quick touchups. The most important thing for me is to let my skin completely dry in between the moisturizer, prep, and foundation steps. I really do think a really important step people with oily skin forget is to moisturize--it helps cut down on the oil your skin wants to produce all of the time.

ITA.

Also instead of adding more product, I like oil blotting sheets. I'm not oily anymore, but when I was, I could easily blot a couple times a day, filling up an entire sheet!

Definitely second the oil blotting sheets! Love the Clean & Clear ones. That and blot powder are my two secret weapons

blotting sheets for the oil! and not rubbing your face if you become sweaty, use toilet paper or a paper towel to blot it off
