If your skin is anything like mine, you probably curse at the mirror every morning when you wake up to disgusting oily skin. Much to my *SURPRISE* I have found that the solution to this problem is also a common misconception. I have tried EVERYTHING from Noxzema, to Apricot Scrub, Proactive, Clearasil, Clean and Clear, Biore, and more, and NOTHING works. These products were either too harsh and abrasive or made my face worse.
So, one day I went to Nordstrom to purchase some makeup at MAC, and I stumbled upon some of the their facial cleanser / makeup remover that was made up of 100% oil. The associate gave me this long explanation that oil breaks down oil, so the solution to cleanse oily skin is naturally... oil. She also noted that everyone knows oil and water do not mix, so chemicals are used in cleansers to try and break the oils down. Seldom do the commercial products add any additional natural moisture to your skin. They are known for stripping your skin of much needed oils while trying to unclog pores and remove dirt, so in an effort to replenish itself, your skin will often over-produce oils and cause breakouts and blemishes.
