I feel like I've got to wash my face in the middle of the day it's so gross! Is this because of high testosterone levels? Any advice on products? I'm using dove at night in the shower and neutrogena for oily skin in the morning.

I know what you're going through. There are a lot of products out there now that absorb oil throughout the day. I don't wear makeup because I find that it makes my face a million times worse. So I just put on moisturizer in the morning and I'm good to go.

If you like the ritzier stuff, here's a link for Lancome. You can find Lancome online or at department stores...

Pick USA, then go to skincare at the top and you can surf the oily skin products. They have a mattifying moisturizer. Their products are pretty good.

I think Clean and Clear might have some oil control stuff, I know I've used their oil blotting papers before and I like those.

I'm on spironolactone and BCPs so my face is not as oily as it used to be. But yes, the extra testosterone is definitely a likely culprit. Good luck.

Try the tea tree oil products from the body shop - I like those. My skin goes through phases - there was a time when my face was extremely oily, it was almost gross. At the moment it's not so bad, only my forehead is a but greasy. I guess it comes and goes, but may also be the Met that is slowly changing my body (for the better I hope!).
