Ways to keep face oil free and zit free?

monicaprasad14

My face has been extremely oily for the last few months and I think it has to do with the stress I'm under at my new job. I have been trying to do yoga and take concentrated me time breaks but with two children and career to tend to, I haven't really been able to get that much accomplished.  What at home remedies or products have been the most useful/successful for you? Thanks, I'm getting closer and closer to just going to get regular facials (can't really afford) or buying a cleaning brush like Clarisonic or ProSonic. The ProSonic is on sale now and a lot more affordable of the two. $59 at the moment right now and going until it looks like September 15 so I have time. Advice? 

 here's the product if you wanted to have a better idea of what I'm talking about: livingsocial.com/deals/442972

I like the dermadoctor line - they have a facewash called "Ain't Misbehavin" and a serum that have been helping me.  Also, try not touching your face, leaning your head on your hand, etc (this is practically impossible for me).

i started using an astringent this summer (neutrogena, the blue one), and it has really helped eliminate breakouts.  hands off the face.  hand sanitizer after eating anything greasy.

Witch hazel is an awesome astringent and super cheap

I have recently started using retinol cream. I was getting these big under the skin pimples during my period. When they finally got big my skin would be so dry from everything I was putting on it the skin would crack and I was getting scars on my chin.

 So far this cream has kept those annoying suckers away. I just put it on my chin before bed every night.

You probably know this, but make sure that the products you're using aren't over drying your skin. Your skin will over produce oil to compensate, and then you're stuck in a vicious cycle!

If it's stress related acne I would try working out. It was a life changer for me and my skin (and my stress level!).

I found another device that is now on sale. It's the Tanda Clear and it's only discounted for three days. MSRP is $195 and now it is $95. It's a higher-end design of the Zap and should last at least 6,000 treatments. So I'm going to do this one today and then report to everyone if you want to do it.

So if my skin is getting overly dry, which is the best non-oily lotion to use?
