my skin is always soo shiney, i hate it. it looks so gross and i dont know how to get rid of it. i know they make those oil pads to aborb the oil but my derm said that it just makes it worse because then your skin only produces more oil.

Hello LovePink!
There are a few ways to control oil. Depending on the severity of how much the sebaceous glands are secreting oil, I will give you a few different measures. Here's a few simpler methods.
The first is the tomato method.
* cut the tomato in half
* rub the halves on your skin
* Leave the juice on your skin at least 15 minutes
* Wash your skin with warm water, then cool. Pat dry.
Secondly, make sure all of your cosmetics are oil free and that you're using a mild soap. Over washing is an overkill. Also, be sure to use a moisturizer (a water based one).
If you're looking for more of an extreme measure, you might want to look into accutane, doxycycline, tetracycline and TCA peels. Also, some insurances pay for laser treatments to treat overactive sebum and acne.
Good luck - MissP
