Body Oil

[Elfdrinkingtea]

For the last 4 years I have been noticing that I have a lot of facial oil. I am wondering where the facial oil come from? And when would facial oil end?

[iamteddybearfeelmecuddle]

Well, it's probably a good thing. Could be nice and unwrinkly like me, when you get to be my age.

 

Do you have acne too? Is that the problem?

[GoodNewsIsOnTheWay]

On the same subject -- I know there are creams out there to put on your T Zone before applying make up to reduce the excess oil (and further reduce the amount of times you have to apply powder.. ) Does anyone know any??

[iamteddybearfeelmecuddle]

I don't. But Physician's Formula makes a great loose mineral powder. Doesn't clog pores...

from your oil glands.

 

they're called sebaceuous glands and the oil is called sebum.

Yeah. Accutane is supposed to destroy them.

 

I don't know if I'd want to try that though, because like I mentioned, wouldn't the lack of oil make you wrinkly when you got older?

Sometimes extra oily skin is actually dry skin in disguise. You are probably thinking WHAT??? If you use the wrong products to cleanse with your skin will produce more oil to compensate for the products results.

 

What types of products do you use on your face? Facial cleanser, makeup, etc. Also do you eat alot of meat and dairy? I know when I did Atkins long long ago my skin seemed to be oilier than usual.

Accutane is very very risky to use. You must be under a DRs watch with that stuff. You also must take birth control pills and I think sign a contract saying if you were to become pregnant you would abort. Accutane causes SERIOUS birth defects. Plus it can cause liver damage.

 

Try other avenues before Accutane.

Yeah, I heard about the liver risks.

 

But, I never heard that you had to take birth control pills to take it? What about men? Do they make them take birth control?

[ElektraHere]

No just women.. Too many risks to take the chance with Accutane. I knew a girl who took it and on the pill pack for it there was a No Baby sign on the package. A baby with the no insignia over it.

Yeah, It's already been discussed several other times in this thread. So has the active ingredient, and cheaper versions of the same product.
