lekanblaze: HELP ooO !!!!
I have a skin am yet to determine and it actually pisses me off!

*After bath, my face lighten as if i have powder on it. its no doubt a gathering of executive dirts.

*If I fail to wash my face VERY well, dirt accumulates more with whitish bumpy spots on my nose and it sides.

Its between oily or not, I take lots of water too!
I just need help ASAP help me its frustrating ...just profer a solution.

Your face dries up after washing that's why it looks white. Mins does the same except that after an hour or so, the natural oil comes out and makes errthing better. What I do though is put a tiny lil bit of lotion (cocoa butter) on the sides of my mouth and around my nose area but not too much otherwise you'll be dripping oil.

But if your face remains dey even hours after washing, you might want to review your face wash/soap

Gboliwe: I have very oily skin. Any advice for me please?

use a non oily moisturizer, use water based products, use a gentle cleanser morning and night since harsh soaps can trigger the skin to increase oil production and this could lead to breakouts,on a lighter note , you will age slower as the skin is constantly moist, so this tends to reduce wrinkling and other signs of aging

get a lime orange and cut into two pieces, put a little quantity of water in a container lets say 3 table spoons of water and then squeez the half of the lime inside the water mix to gether and use a cotton wool to dip inside the mixture and use it to clean your face morning and night. Try this therapy and you would not regret it.

anneduke:

Wash your face with a neutral (not made for a particular skin type) soap or cleanser. Rinse with water. Pat try with a towel just enough to absorb moisture do not rub. Wait one hour, and then blot your entire face with one ply (or layer) of a large facial tissue. Press lightly all over your face and leave for about one minute. Then remove the paper carefully and examine it near a window or a light.

What do you see?

• If you see oil throughout the tissue, you most likely have oily skin.

• If you see oil only in the T‐zone (across forehead, down nose and chin), you most likely have combination skin.

• If you see very little oil throughout, you most likely have normal skin.

• If you see no sign of oil at all, you most likely have dry skin.

• If your skin feels irritated or slightly itchy, you most likely have sensitive skin.

You’ll need to perform this test several times a year‐during dry and rainy‐because your skin changes with the seasons.

8 ounce glasses. Its better for you and your kidneys. Not only your skin. So you would be doing yourself a big favour by drinking more clean water.

I don't drink water much these days. Don't drink juice either. I just don't drink anything even after eating. Prolly not a good thing. Will get on that ASAP!

The same way as it applies to steaming but this time with cold water just to tighten your facial skin pores so death won't find it easy to come in and clog it up.
So it would be nice if you dabble your face with cold water at list twice a day....It cleans up the dirth that might have accumulated with the oily secretion and also firms up your skin the more.

Oil is actually good on the skin but it becomes bad when it mixes up with dirt.
whats with u and "dirt". U na dey quarrel?

Thats not good, its very dangerous. Even Juice is not good enough at all. You need to drink far more water than juice, because of the sugar and additives. The body is made up of 60-70% of water. So you have to replenish it with clean water, otherwise it will malfunction. Just like using an engine without oil.

Contact Mobil or shell, so that they can come and start drilling. It would certainly earn you millions a year.

Re: Identifying Your Skin Type Using Tissue Test by Nobody: 6:57pm On Jun 27, 2013
Ladies, your skin also change according to season.......oil production increases during the summer, while skin dries during the winter. Expect oily skin right now.


For oily skin, mix a 1:1 ratio of apple cider vinegar and water. Use it as a toner.
Re: Identifying Your Skin Type Using Tissue Test by Nobody: 6:59pm On Jun 27, 2013
babybuzx: I ve d combination skin type. Wot can I do?

Wash your face atmost twice a day. Too much washing can cause excess oil reproduction.

Use the apple cider vinegar and water to dab your T spot throughout the day.

Lucky grin.

Do you guys have Body shop in the UK? If so, I highly highly recommend their natural products.

kandiikane: Babe, foundation won't help oily skin. It will just clog your pores and made your skin bumpy or spotty. Quite rough. You can wear foundation but just not everyday. Where do you live? The powder I was talking about it's a very loose powder it looks like baby powder but it blends in with your skin and you only have to put a tiny bit on your face. It's just to control the oil.

Gosh I hate Pond. Used to use that junk

I have combination skin.....so this might help you

I use African black soap....not dudu Osun o....http://www.amazon.com/African-Black-Soap-Bar-Ounces/dp/B000XLWZGI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1372356466&sr=8-5&keywords=African+black+soap

It absorbs the oil...... Then I use m Body shop Matiffying day creme. Try to use a facial moisturizer with little to no oil.

Use the apple cider /water 1:1 mixture toner. Also helps to absorb the oil.

If you can get a witch hazel toner, that would be wonderful. I stopped using it cuz I wanted to go natural with the products I buy. wink

Like I said before, use the toner to dab your face throughout the day.

Lmfao, please don't use ororo in the Nigerian sun. You will fry like dodo. You can put it on your face, and steam your face. That is called an oil cleanse. Steam it by boiling water, putting the hot water in a plastic bowl. Placing the bowl on a safe surface or in your sink. And then putting towel over your head while moving closer to the steam of the bowl. Your face will steam, clense and be softer. For general body dryness, drink water and use shea butter. Never use ororo on your skin as everyday lotion please. I use shea butter for my oil cleans, but olive oil is good too.

Your sweat glands are overactive, see a doctor. Exercise can help you work up a sweat though. So maybe you can sweat less during the day. Maybe exercise in the mornings.

baby_123:

Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. Oil will be history. In fact your face will be tight. Also, reduce your makeup and stick with light face creams. Face creams with no oil too.
i cant even remember when last I drank a glass of water. Tell me please, how many glasses make a satchet of pure water? I take an average of 6satchets daily.
