What to do in the summer with oily skin?

Question by silark: What to do in the summer with oily skin?
Hey there,

I’ve always had some pretty oily skin. The extra oil makes for some uncomfortable frequent breakouts during Summer. During Fall and Winter my skin is relatively calm and nice, but the Summer is wreaking havoc on it! I work in a humid hot climate (warehouse).

Anyone have any advice on how to treat oily skin in Summer?

I have extremely oily skin too.. I’m italian! I used a LOT Of things and I found some stuff that actually keeps my skin cleared up… Clinique Level 4 cleanser for Oily skin and their Astringent stuff (its blue colored) its GREAT!! (I didnt bother buying the lotion/moisturizer) because no matter what they claim I dont use moisturizer, my skin is too oily, it more than moisturizes itself, especially in the summer! I can’t keep it dry enough!

I only bought the cleanser and the astrigent looking stuff (step 1 & step 2) from the dept store local to me. it is AWESOME. (they can give you samples of it too, thats how I originally tried it.) They have stuff for Acne as well, but the Step 4 should work wonders for oily skin too!!

TRY IT — I tried TONS of stuff, all the stuff in drugs stores, NONE of it worked for my skin. It was just really oily. Clinique for oily skin cleared it right up! LOVE IT. Just go to your local Clinique counter at the Department store and tell them you heard about Clinque step 4 for oily skin from a girl friend and you would love to have a sample of it to try.
