I don't know if this is the right forum but...

My acne is ok, I get sudden bursts of zits and boils on my fact but my main problems are hair, obesity etc etc etc............(need I go on?!)

However, I do have reaaaally greasy skin, and I wash my hair once a day (twice a day if I am going out at night too). I have tried almost every face wash, cleanser, moisturiser, night gel/cream, foundation/powder I can find but it still looks awful by lunchtime.

I use self tan, which dries my skin out a bit but not enough!! I am very image conscious so I don't let it get too much out of hand (constant powdering and touching up of the makeup after lunch - its a ritual, and a standing joke in my office!

anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried witch hazel with some essential oils like lemon and tea tree. I think palmarosa would be good too. I have dry skin and acne so I am just thinking of really drying things.

My skin is also very oily. My derm suggested Clinac O.C. I got it on dermadoctor.com. I have to say it really works,a nd it's the only thing that has ever controlled my oiliness. I put it on clean skin,a nd then I mix it with my oil free foundation, and I stay matte for hours. When I do get oily it's nowhere near what it was without it. It's definitley worth a try.

Have you tried Clean and Clear blotting papers? They're blue, and actually almost like a thin plastic, but they pick up the oil off your face. They aren't powdered, they just take all the oil off.

Or how about this product by MAC? Here's the link

MAC Matte

I haven't tried it, but I've used other products by them that I really love.
