Oily Skin?

Question

I've always had what I considered to be "normal" oily skin, but since I've been pregnant it seems like my face has been super oily! I wash my face every morning and night, just as I did before. I've started using blotting sheets throughout the day just because it feels so gross! Anyone else have this problem? Or know of something I can do to help it!?

Answer

There's a Murad mattifying lotion at Sephora or Ulta that will help a lot! My skin is usually oily but in pregnancy it's dry!

Answer

You may be overproducing oil due to actually dry skin. Pick up some almond oil and try my routine: after washing face in the shower (I use dr bronner's castille soap) rub a small amount of oil into your face and neck. Turn up the water temp, wet a washcloth, and carefully press it onto your face and neck, one area at a time, re-wetting and warming the cloth in between. The heat and steam helps the oil get into your skin. When you're done, pat excess oil with dry washcloth. If you feel that it is too oily, just do a quick re-wash with soap. :) I had major oil problems until I started using oil. Seems counterintuitive but works for me. Hope this helps 🙂
