Oily skin??? These have helped my crazy face!!

     So just in the three days of us Midwesterners finally catching a break from the weather, I have already noticed my face getting super oily again.  I have battled with this awesome skin shine issue for over half of my life and have tried over 50 products out there that claim to solve the issue.  Trust me, I know, most products are over-priced and under achievers, but these few have helped my face tremendously.
   
     The first product that has helped is inexpensive and available pretty much everywhere.  It is Clean and Clear's Oil Blotting Sheets!

     I love these so much because they are thin, fit anywhere, and they really do their job.  You can use them if you have 4 lbs. of makeup up on, light powder, or a naked face, and they take of all of the annoying shine from your beautiful face, and leave your makeup untouched.  

     The next product is cool because with a lot of the face washes my face becomes immune after a few months.  I never feel like my face is as good as it is after a month of using a new product.  I have tried everything from over the counter, department stores, and prescriptions and this face was I have been using is by far the best.  Tired of me not telling you what it is?? Ready?  

    It's Philosophy Purity facial cleanser!!!  Yes, this is more of a department store brand, but it's not a million dollars.  Promise!  Everywhere I have found it from Ulta to Sephora to Macy's, it has been $22 for an 8 ounce bottle.  Purity is such a simple cleanser because once you wash your face you don't get that tight, dried out feeling and you also don't get that greasy after effect either.  You just feel refreshed and clean.  And who isn't happy when they are clean???  Best thing about this product is it removes all that tricky make-up that builds up in those sneaky little pores, sweet!!

    The last one I will talk about for skincare, for now, cuz everyone knows there's tons of little gems out there waiting to be created or found.  It's another Philosophy product and it's called Take a Deep Breath.

    This is an oil-free moisturizer that has a light feeling on your face, clean fragrance, and helps control oil.  If you have oily skin you still have to moisturize, but you don't need to feel gross right after you put something on your skin that is supposed to make your skin happy.  This is a gel helps protect against envornmental funk, and diffuses oxygen into the skin making your skin healthier and more radiant, and its a gel so it's super lightweight on your skin.  This sassy pot of awesomeness is 2 ounces and $34, which I know sounds crazy but you only use about a pea-sized amount so it lasts for months.  I use this product morning and night (after my Philosophy Purity cleanser, of course) and it takes me about 3 months to go through a pot of this.  Sometimes Sephora and Ulta will give you samples or have trial sizes so if you are uneasy about the cost, try the little guys first.  It's an easier pill to swallow!!!

    Happy oil-free summer!!!
