I am having the worst fucking oily greasy skin of all time and nothing is helping!! I wake up every morning feeling like I'm wearing a rubber halloween mask, it is absolutely insufferable. I have PCOS and I'm just having a very bad cycle, but this could last for another month and was wondering what I could do to help?
My current skin routine:
- I only wear mascara and lipstick if I bother with makeup at all. I haven't worn foundation since January and even when I do I use it as a spot corrector.
- I wash off my makeup with micellar water and a clean rag with water.
- I use the tiniest drop of Neutrogena Deep Clean face wash in the shower just because it's easier
- If I have a bad patch of acne I use witch hazel on a cotton ball only on the affected areas
- And I use %100 pure aloe vera gel as moisturizer
I'm not super big on lots of products or super heavy stuff, but what should I do to reduce this extreme oiliness?

Stop using witch hazel, switch to a more gentle cleanser and use a lightweight moisturizer bc dehydrated skin can get even oilier. Also try salicylic acid or niacinamide to, they help a LOOOT with oiliness and acne! And since u have PCOS the excess oil is probably hormonal too not just skincare so watch what u eat, stress less, and sleep better!
Hope these help u :)
Oh it is for sure hormonal, I am so surprised I haven't killed anyone yet this month lmao.
Do you have any recommendations for a better face wash + moisturizer combo? I swear I've tried everything, this was the best I cam up with and it's only a little better than what I was using before.
