hi cheryl,
i dont know if this will help you but thought id give my experience.. i have VERY oily skin and suffered with extreamly deep black heads, in fact they were not even like black heads they were just pools of crappy crap ebeded in my skin especially my cheeks,
my lupus i believe has something to do with it as it a condition that effects connective tissue... but i am not certain..
anyway, the ONLY things that contol my skin and keep the deep spots and white black heads at bay is isotrex gel.. its a chemical from vitamin a but its also prescription...
secondly (what i used untill i got my isotrex) is glycolic acid day and night cream and glycolic peels(at home with 30%)
the glycolic acid gave my skin a look that nothing (including isotrex) has ever given me, after a month using it, my skin looked like id some how got a tan but had never seen the light of day lol, practically perfect.
CHERYL, from what i know oily skin id young skin, and with the right treatment you can make your skin THICKER which will keep you looking young for many many years to come, ie, black people usually have quite thick skin hense the very few wrinkles oldies tend to have(if any)
haha hope im not scaring u hun????
im just very passionate about the face skin subject, i cant afford anything flashy or surgery so i just went for the best product that i could afford, and that was glycolic acid,
isotrex/retin a is clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging (tretinoin)
with oil skin, dont OVER clense or you will and up looking like an oil slick after a few hours, as your skin over compensates for all the oil you have stripped off it,
i have a trick that i also do... i exfoliate with salt and a mild cleanser, the dry..then i cover my face(inc lips) in a THICK moisteriser,,so that it looks like icing or thick cream on your face... then get the hair dryer and put the heat on your face for a while like some sort of spa treatment lol... keep the heat for 3 mins or so . thenwipe off the cream(dont wash) and alls done, you have put back the oil that you have taken away, so the skin should not produce much more, and your skin should feel lovely (if you do this before bed you wake up with soft nice skin)
use blotting paper if u want to cover up any oiling u may get during the day
oily skin=larger pores so if this continues then u may want to invest in something to help the clogging of the pores(the oilyer the skin usually the more clogged they can get if you dont take care.
isotrex uncloggs my pores and stops the production of so much sebum,, u should look in to this, it WILL reduce the oil, and make your skin clearer.
glycolic acid(peels) gently peels the skin top layer helping it to renew .
skin renews less fequently the older you , exfoliating also helps with renewing.
cheryl, b4 using the isotrex i could touch my face and it would look like id put my fingers in butter lol....now i just have a nice dewy glow
