Oily skin and large pores?

The skin on my nose has large pores and is really oily. It really bothers me and is gross. Washing my face often (twice a day at least) doesn't get rid of most of the oil. It sorta cakes up in the pore but I don't get zits. The only way for me to get the oil out is to squeeze it out. What are some good products to get rid of the oil, make my pores smaller and keep it that way? I tend to get flaky skin from strong products. Any help on that as well?

Oily skin and large pores?
argh! the nose is one of the worst places. nothing seems to work for me either. but then again, im sure if i went out and bought stuff for my face i'd get better results. of course theres 3 steps to washing your face, and hopefully these will help with the oil! make SURE you get a good face wash first of all, and make sure its for oily skin. wash your face with it (i usually do this in the shower =P), then use a toner (nivia, garnier, any really make sure its for your skin type! alchohol free is best) and lastly use face cream. i used to have kinda oily skin but ever since taking up that regieme ive lost it all together! a good thing for blocked pores liek on ur nose and cheeks and stuff are those biore strips. you dont get results right away, infact you might have to go out and buy more after using it without results but it really does clean your pores out (especially if your skin is warm and open, such as after a bath or warm shower) and of course use a toner after for best results.





im not a skin expert but i hope i helped a little bit! good luck :]
Reply:Salicylic acid works best for big pores and an oily T-zone area. Neutrogena rapid clear gel works well. If this is too strong (it shouldn't be), but if it is, use Paula's Choice 1% Beta Hydroxy Acid. You have to purchase it online from www.cosmeticscop.com.





It takes a few weeks to start working, but once it does, it really helps a lot.
Reply:the opinion of an esthetician...i see this all the time. my first question to you would be what skin care products are you using? are they meant for dry skin? if so, they will be adding more oil to your skin trying to hydrate it. Oil and large pores on the nose are very common. Do you find yourdelf normally oily on your forehead,nose,and chin area? (t-zone) if so, you may have combination skin. if you tend you be oily more all over, you probably have an oily skin type. the reason for the large pores is you are producing more oil in that area and the pore is larger to accomodate the oil. just try your best to keep your face clean and make sure you are using the correct products for your skin type. If i could recommend one thing though it would be to go to your local spa and have a skin analysis done by an esthetician. They could tell you what your skin type is by examining it under magnifying lamps and other tools they use. They'll feel around for where you produce the most oil and recommend products to help you and that are best suited for your skin type. I hope this helps! good luck!
Reply:An oily skin , as the name implies, is one in which the sebaceous or oil-producing glands are over active. As surface grease tends to attract dirt, an oily skin acquires a dirty surface film , that needs to be removed daily. For more details log to http://useinfo-oilyskin.blogspot.com/

Reply:I have the same problem. Ok, this may sound weird..but if you go to any public bathrooms...and you know those toilet seat things? The little thin papers you put on the toilet seat before you use the restroom? Yeah, if you get that and rub it on your nose, it will absorb the oil and make your nose area less oily.


Good luck~
