Question 1

hi, i have got an oily skin and i can't get off the black heads from my nose. is there anyway i can reduce the oilyness and the blackheads? thanks

Accepted Answer

Blackheads: Don't scrub! It just injures the skin and increases the risk of infection.   Your hormones are to blame for the only skin and I don't think you want to attempt changing that.  A salicylic gel or base is probably the most helpful but apply sparingly at night,  starting with a couple of times per week,  increasing nightly.   Use a very gentle cleanser specifically for the face (not for oily skin).

Question 2

which is the solution of oily skin?

Accepted Answer

Aesthetician: Our skin type is genetically predetermined and can vary depending on facial location.  If it is dry, moisturize it, if it is oily, dry it.  A good licensed aesthetician will be able to recommend products and peel to achieve your goals after a thorough examination.

Question 3

how can i keep from getting oily skin?

Accepted Answer

Oily Skin.: Egg whites are a home remedy for oily skin. Spread a whipped egg white over the skin and rinse off with warm water after it dries. This can help to tighten skin and dry acne. 
 ** Avoid using soaps/scrubs that are overly harsh. The skin may react to those by producing more oils.
