im facing the same problem, and it's kinda hard to get rid off the oily face..
but now im avoiding oily food and wash my face regularly..and that helps..

Then the shiny face problem??

you can say that..practice yourself to wash regularly your face and try to avoid oily food at all cost..

there's a product by gatsby, u can get at guardian or watson, it's a black film which can absorb oil very well. try to look for gatsby product in a small white box. the film is black but after u rub it to oily skin, it will absorb the oil and become transparent. very effective, but it absorbs oil only, doesnt control oil production from ur face. so if ur face is the type which becomes oily quickly, then need to use it often la.. it's 70 pieces for about rm7. should buy one and always keep in ur purse/pocket, so that later if want to take picture or anything, can always use that and ur face wont look shiny.

Accutane can reduce oil alot.
but expensive.RM10+- per pill .

even my mom also refuse to support for me.haha

Use Evian face Mist, luv it!

this is the fastest way to wiping out the oil..some said that by using the film,
it will worsen your face because technically we will spreading a germ/dirt all over our face.. dunno whether it's true or not..

Then how?? Oh ya..!! I also got a very funny problem. My face is oily while my hand is damn dry..!! Until i have to put some kind of lotion. So does there got some way to transfer the oil from face to hand to balance it .. ??

TS - Having a shinny (oily) face looks to me that the skin condition of your face might be lacking of water, hence buying any oil-reduce/removal products might not get into the root issue of your skin condition. If this problem really bothers u a lot and u'd want to cure it seriously, I'd suggest you get professional help. Brands that I trust is Loreal, Clinque, La Pairie, Shesido, but the first one dont have a counter wiht prof. help. I get my problems solved with two MLM products then now i m using a mixture of almost all brands here without any issues anymore.

The major thing i wish to share with you is that: dont give up/fed up: The problem on ur face can be solved and your skin type will be changed from oily to normal with proper attention and 'faith'
U may pm me for more details just in case i dont come here anymre

depends on how u use it. u're not supposed to wipe ur face, just dab the thing on the oily part. and if scared on infection, use different film for each part. my fren wanted to save money, so he use one film for the whole face. one film about the size of credit card. i dont think it's the ideal solution to have non-oily face, but it's helpful to carry a pack along especially when there's a function, party, etc.

It sounds like other cosmetics products with Girls can do it too. A small size of paste to be carry in pocket and squeeze out a little will be able to matte the whole face. It is not a new product.

what I watched from 女人我最大 is u can't "overuse" the oil control film... use once or twice a day is ok, but if u use it like over 5 times a day, ur skin will receive an alarm that ur face is not having enuff oil, thus it produces even more oil instead...

Yeah..i heard people said that too..!!

i use l'oreal mensexpert and it works very well. i'm feeling more comfortable now.

1.use a suitable cleanser that able remove excessive oil on your face
2.apply oily control lotion
3.use only oil free moisturiser
4.try dermalogica clearing mattifier - reduces congestion and control shine

p/s; do not over cleanse your skin ,over dried skin will cause more oil production

oo.. where i can get that dermalogica?

using skin food peach sake cleanser, toner, and serum.

Make sure that you are properly hydrated. Keep your face well-moisturised. Dry skin actually cause more oil production, causing your face to turn oily.

I used to have very very oily skin, but when I start to make sure that my skin is properly moisturised, my skin conditions improved. Make sure that your moisturiser is light not too heavy or creamy which can cause clogged pores.

I use, Clean & Clear facial cleanser and Laneige Pore clearing range.
Biore sunblock milk also helps to control my sebum production.

oil blotter paper!
it's damn useful for oily faces, haha.
i prefer clean & clear's. it is just stop the oil temporary,
to solve it better use some oil-control products
