Best Answer
  • Wash your skin no more than twice a day and after you perspire heavily.
  • Use a gentle cleanser and don't scrub.
  • Don't pick, pop, or squeeze pimples. This prolongs healing time.
  • Use products labeled as "noncomedogenic." They tend not to clog pores.

Does oily food cause acne?

Not necessarily. There could be many different foods or items that could give you oily skin. I have struggled with oily skin for a few years now and haven't seen any improvement by eating differently... try to avoid oily foods or foods that are unhealthy for you partly to see if it helps your skin or also because it could just overall help you feel better! Oily skin could also be caused by a lack of moisture in the skin, causing the skin-glands to overproduce oil and make your skin more oily. I have found that the Clinique 3-Step Skin Type three (for oily skin) has done WONDERS for my oily skin! I have also worn make-up with oil-control, but if you do this, remove it correctly at night. Just because you use a "facial cleaner/cleanser" does NOT mean it is getting deep enough to remove make-up, and this can cause acne. Use an actual make-up remover. (Again, I use Clinique, and it's great! I can feel the make-up being gone as a I clean!). Don't use just any lotion for oily skin. Make sure that the lotion does not include extra oil (oil-free) and also, gels are great for oily skin. Regular lotions can actually cause more oil but gels are great! Hopefully this helps!

Do you have to have oily skin?

Your skin contains oils to keep it hydrated. Without those oils, your skin becomes very dry.

I have SUPER oily skin is MAC pro longwear good for super oily skin?

I wouldn't say so, I have that to and have oily skin around my cheeks and forehead but my chin is quite dry, but when I have used it before i have always thought I could find a better one to take away the shine. I advise you dont use MAC studio scuplt also if you have oily skin, because it's a thick heavy gel and isn't shine proof. I find the mineral one's from no7 are quite good at controlling oily skin and overall mineral foundations:) good luck!xo


Do you use nourishing cream on oily skin?

Yes. You should moisturize even if you have oily skin as people with oily skin tend to use a variety of products to cleanse & tone; these products most likely contain agents that dry your skin such as benzoyl peroxide. The key is to find & use the right products for oily skin i.e. oil-free or water based.
