What do i do, if my skin is oily, but gets dry in areas - and it's not that i got the T-zone which is oily, and the other parts of my face are dry, but sometimes i get dry on my nostrils and forehead!
Wayne I just found your channel and I am overly impressed with all your helpful advice and tricks. I recently had a makeover at MAC and I was convinced to buy all new products that would help me with my oily skin. You are so right when you say that the make up only lasts a couple of hours. This was on Sunday and here we are on Thursday and I spent all this money to get the same results as before. I am so glad that I found your channel and I am so excited to try the techniques you mention. Thanks
I have severe oily skin and I have discovered that Good Health Milk of Magnesia is one million times better than the Phillips Milk of Magnesia. My skin is so oily my make up slides off and it was begining to get embarrassing
You are amazing!!! All of these years battling shine and oily skin switching foundations and oil control products and nothing really worked 100% until you taught me this tip :0)
Now my makeup is flawless for hours and I don't have to touch it up to get rid of oil buildup :0) Thanks so much you are truly a makeup and skincare Guru
Anyone that doesn't want to stop moisturising their oily skin because it gets dry after washing, try pure aloe vera gel. It will condition the skin and make it feel really soft but because it's a gel and has no oil in it, it won't make your skin any oilier and will not block pores! Plus it will calm and soothe any redness from acne, spots etc, if you keep using it!
I cannot find plain Milk of Magnesia here in Glasgow UK! It is all mint flavoured and I don't like the thought of putting that on my face in case it irritates it. Does anyone in the UK know where I can buy the straightforward plain stuff!
No one "solution" works for ALL oily skins. For SOME people, the Milk-of-Magnesia works great, but it doesn't work for everyone. It worked for me for like 3 days and then voila, my skin resorted to being as oily as it was. For me, only Accutane stopped the oil but only while on it. I was oily again within a month of going off of it. Also keep in mind oily/super-oily etc is all relative. What some people feel is super oily skin is just somewhat oily when compared to someone else's super oily.
FINALLLY!!!!!!!! i thoight it was just me!!! yes my foundation gets darker after about an hour that i spply it!!!! so i have to always buy foundations that are lighter thatn my natural skin tone!! it makes me really sad because i want my face to look good! pleas help!
Thanks Goss....I've just recently found out about The Milk of Magnesia by another make-up artist from Jamaica here on YouTube (Jamaican Make-up Artist - Lyric) and I've used it on a couple of persons I know that have oily to very oily skin and IT TOTALLY WORKS!!!!! with nooooo irritation at all....i love, love, love it....thanks again for the tips....take care.
I have this problem, when i wash my face my skin gets really dry, so i have to use moisturizer, but then my face gets very oily, and I don't know what to do.
I've had very oily skin all my life and for many years I've used MoM to control my oil. I recently started taking Evening Primrose Oil supplements, and my oiliness has decreased about 80%. I still use MoM on my nose though as my nose seems to think it's a member of OPEC. :-p
Amazing advice, but ive searched almost everywhere in the UK for the ORIGINAL one, I brought the mint one by accident....Does anyone know where it is available in the UK?? Much appreciated x
I have extremely oily skin and normally this time of the year (Dec -January summer here in New Zealand) my face is so greasy and shiny .....but this year it is normal! I have not tried milk of magnesium but I have been putting jojoba oil on my face - I know it sounds absolutely absurb to put oil on oily skin right!?? it does not work right away but eventually your skin adapts .... it works believe me! thought I'd share my tip! LOL thanks Wayne
Omg thank you for this tip!!!! Im gonna try this! Oh and yea I just don't use moisturizer cuz I always said that it just makes my skin even more oily!
thank uuuuu so much for this i have been desperately searching for a solution for my oily tzone all my life i'm def gonna try this 2day.....yr the best & so damn cute i adore yr wink at the end of yr vidz u seem so genuine
This was so helpful! I was one of those people who've been told to use more moisturizer in order to control the oil, but im still oily! I def will try the milk of magnesia :) thanks for the tip!
I usually never disagree with you Wayne but on the topic of oily skin and moisturizer I have to say I do (disagree that is). I have very oily skin and I stopped using moisturizer for the a year. It ruined my skin and left me with horrible dry patches that took months to recover. My experiences with cutting out moisturizer were very bad. Just saying this to offer another perspective not because I think you're wrong. But as you were saying everybody is different so experiences will differ.
I tend to get oily throughout the day, and that's exactly what I need-something to balance the skin because I go from supple/well-moisturized skin to oily. So how often should we use the milk of magnesia face mask?
Wel.. My skin is oily AND dehydrated, so some times I'll be more oily and still my skin is really dry/dehydrated and needs a good moisturizer. How to deal with that?
@xxELK I have really really oily and dehydrated skin too. I use to live by the coast so my skin was soft even when I did not moisturize it. I used tissue all the time to blot my face, but it just got more greasier. Then I moved to Colorado where the weather is super dry. The second week after I arrived, my face turned flaky. I tried to leave it un-moisturized but it led to the worst breakout of my life because all the pores were severely clogged by the dead skin cells.
@xxELK -continued. Now I moisturize my skin day and night though it is still quite oily. I put on loose powder during daytime, and it really helps to the absorb the oil. I leave my skin oily at night because no one sees it. Also, excess oil does not make me break out, so I am ok with it at home. By the way, oily skin does not necessarily cause acne, at least not making me break out. Dead skin cells, clogged pores, leaving makeup on overnight, and not exfoliating are far worse factors.
I must say love all of your reviews, you are my go to makeup expert when I want to know something. I've used the milk of magnesia due to having oily skin, it really didn't work as well as I heard. But, you've convinced me to try it again...seems like nothing works for me. As a makeup lover who loves to wear a full face of makeup, it's embarrassing. So, I appreciate your advice and will give it another try. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!!
I have very oily skin and struggle with acne and acne scarring. I am definitely trying milk of magnesia, but could you do a video about other home/natural remedies for acne and acne scars? I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!
I wouldn't recommend Accutane - I took a drug w/ the same ingredient & it caused really bad severe depression. I had to get off of it becuase I had a suicide attempt because of it. I'm now on anti-depressants bc of it. It's such a scary drug.
My GP put me on a magnesium supplement and its been fantastic for my skin (and all the things she put me on it for) but my OILY OILY skin is now beautiful and just right.
Wayne Goss is spot on yet again! Less is Definitely more for my oily, blemish prone skin. I have learned that oily skin is often dehydrated skin - it needs water so it over-produces oil in an attempt to keep the water in. I find drinking a LOT of water helps limit my oil production and using an hydrator product (like Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster or Mario Badescu Cellufirm serum) rather than a conventional 'oily' moisuriser. Thanks so much for posting.
I was on acutane for 7 months and it cleared a little bit of my acne but I still have it quite a bit and it only stops your skin from being oily while your on it . My skin isn't as oily as it used to be though but it still gets very oily . So acutane does not get rid of it .
Milk of Magnesia is a godsend for oily skin! I only use it on my T-zone & still moisturize before putting it on and I barely need to use blotting papers throughout the day and don't even bother with powder sometimes. Definitely worth trying! :)
Good advice! I've just stopped using moisturiser recently and have discovered that my "crows feet" Aren't as noticeable. Any idea why this could be? I thought moisturiser would stop the skin creasing as badly xx
i was on accutane and my face before it was combination with really oily t zone and atopic dry cheeks. Honestly i am much more happier with dry skin, which i have now even if the oilines wasn't my main concern.
i've been using Clinique's DDMG & Clarifying Lotion 4, and I swear that these products made my skin less oily. I do have combination skin so I need a moisturizer that's not too heavy so I chose I gel moisturizer w/c I think is best for oily skin.
I used to have really oily skin. I carry around oil sheets. And i used to have to wipe my face every hour at school. How embarrasing.! Anyways i was searching up in the internet, for oily skin. I found this natural mask. A banana mask. One banana, a tsbp of honey. Lemon or orannge. Mash the banana into puree. Add the honey n the lemon/orange(few drops) Leave on for 15 min. before rinsing with a cool washcloth or a steaming warm washcloth.
hello)) i was taking accutane for 9 monthes. my acne stoped but my skin is still extremly oily((((( ill try to find Milk of magnesium couse this sounds to be my last hope)))))
In my experience, putting a little bit of EV Olive oil with wet fingertips over my face, instead of moisturizer, after washing and toning makes me wake up to normal skin - not oily, not dry. During the day, the less I put on the better.
Like someone already pointed out above, oily skin can get dehydrated just like any other skin type (depending on the climate you live in, the hardness of the water in your area, time of year, etc.). I definitely do need to use a moisturizer on my oily skin, I just make sure all the products I use are oil free and made specifically for my skin type.
Yup. Unfortunately MOM doesn't work for me, it's like I haven't even put it on, my skin is still disgustingly oily throughout the day & it just makes it so dull looking. :(
Hi! I have oily skin but I have flaky skin on my nose. I exfoliate and all but I can't seem to get rid of it. Should I apply moisturizer JUST on the flaky part then ? My nose gets oily in the middle of the day too .... Thanks for your tips ! Love your videos!
I'm 63 and STILL have oily skin! I've tried the MOM with no luck so far. Will give it another shot. I don't break out that often but I do have lg pores and I'm going to try what you suggested for that. Does this oily skin ever end?
You're the first expert I've seen suggest that oily skin doesn't need a moisturizer. Thank you for explaining that as most sales people pitch that at every counter. I guess anything for another sale!
Milk of magnesium does not work for me. I have tried it many times and my face is oily not even an hour later. I do use Touch Up anti shine by Mehron and found that this has helped me more than anything.
ur s o right i have oily skin but my medication makes me dry ...and whenever its dry i wish it was oily :S .. i just cant seem to be happy with it .. lol
I totally agree that primers are a wait of time & money. I broke out from using them. And I do find that my skin is less oily if I don't use a moisturizer. I only use a light 1 if my skin is feeling dry. Which is hardly ever. I stopped using face masks, cos they seem to make my skin even oilier for about a week after use. Will try the MoM as a mask though. Thanks for the video
@Arriolaah Right, glad someone gets this! Sebum/skin oil does not add moisture to skin, it can only help hold moisture in. Moisture equals water! Moisturised skin can only come through applying water, water-attracting humectants or ingestion. Oils form a seal which helps keep the water from evaporating through skin so one might not feel the need for moisturisers if one lives in a very humid environment. But if one's oily skin also feels dry then then one could absolutely use a mosturiser.
@TheRubyFeline I agree, I have this problem... my skin can shine like a mirror BUT desquamate at the same time. Finding out a good moisturazer has been quite of a challenge.
You should try japanese aburatorigami!Google it =) It's an oil blotting paper made of rice, really thin sheets that you just pat in the oily areas of your face and it absorbs all the extra oil, even when you have your make up on. It's perfect to get rid of shines in your face , so you don't have to apply more powder and pack your skin with more product. It's not expensive,you can get them in a store called Muji, that has japanese products, check the website for stores close from where you live.
Does anyone use the MaryKay Normal to Oily skin moisturizer, it comes in a black top and clear container. The product itself, is a lavender tint like substance.
I really like it, but I was wondering if anyone likes it as well?
@beneathyourlove I use that at night and am very happy with it. It helps with any dry patches on my skin from using benzoyl peroxide for my acne and doesn't aggravate my skin at all to boot! :)
@IIIlIIlllI im so tired of people watching 5 minute videos and all they have to comment about is something dumb that had NOTHING to do with the topic of the video so STFU. she doesnt care, shes just trying to be a smart ass.
i was literally just about to message you regarding milk of magnesia being used as a primer, i have never heard this before but now people are really recommending it!!
@ninaabbas it isnt going to prevent the oil buildup as a mask, you would have to put it in your hair/scalp and rub it in and let it dry for it to be effective
Wayne, I've always had flawless skin, but now at 32 I've begun to form tons of little bumps under my chin and across my cheeks that seem to be more like a tiny mass than whiteheads. It's truly hard to deal with and my makeup has never looked worse. Do you have any recommendations for this?
I used Milk of Magnesia and boy what a difference!!! Thank you so much for this tip. My face is so oily it looks like I'm sweating and this just helped my confidence. Looked in the mirror several times and wasn't embarrassed.
i also have been using it for over 10 yrs. love it. actually has helped clear up my skin and very affordable primer. bye bye oil my makeup lasts all day ..ps pores also look smaller.
I used Accutane for 6 months, during that time I suffered from colitis, couldn't drink because it also affects your liver and pancreas, I had super dry skin, the skin around the corners of my eyes was always red & sore and also around my mouth and nose, and my whole body itched all the time, Accutane does work but like 2 weeks after I used it my skin started to get oily again, I don't get pimples any more but all the excess oil came back.
It works but as you said it has tons of nasty side ef
I think we need to keep in mind that like hair products,makeup products and medication not one certain remedy works for everyone. I love Wayne and all of his advice dont get me wrong! But there are so many different factors that make us and our beauty needs different. What works for me and is perscribed for me, might not necissarly work for you. But I like these vids cause they give ideas and tricks that we might not have thought of or tried before :)
I will definitely try this. My face is disgustingly greasy, and it's driving me crazy. I can swipe my hand an hour after washing my face and there will literally be oil all over my hands as if I was eating popcorn or something lol.
I have oily skin, and when I don't wear primer and makeup my skin is MORE oily. So definitely listen to your skin and see what works for YOU! It doesn't hurt to try different things. I personally LOVE the Clinique Gel Moisturizer. It's a tad expensive, but the pump lasts like 5 months with AM and PM use.
my skin has been a pain in the butt; it is dry red and oily too and i have been haveing trouble with brackouts and red scaley patches so I have been using alcohol all over using a heavy paper towel, then I apply Eucerin calming creme over the dry areas and it has made a big defferance in the way my skin looks. in 20 min after my skin looks more natural with no red areas and the scaly patches are gone.
Magnificent info yet again, thank you from an oily lady! In regards to the milk of mag, you can get something called "Calm" here in the States. It's the pure form of magnesium in a powder form with no added ingredients etc. You just make a paste out of this powder and use it the same way you are using MOM. Magnesium is very useful for many things such as natural sleep aid, constipation (sorry for the TMI, LOL) etc.
You forgot to mention Retin-A which is the topical version of Accutane. Of course Accutane containing isotretinoin and Retin-A containing tretinoin, which are both derivatives of Vitamin A. Retin-A can decrease oil production overtime without all of the harsh side effects of Accutane. Although, Retin-A not as high strength as Accutane does a fantastic job at ridding the skin of acne, wrinkles and oil. I've used Retin-A for nearly two years and now have a beautiful Normal to dry complexion.
this totally works! i have extremely oily skin and i have been using this for over a year! best primer ever! cheapest too...

Does wearing milk of magnesia under foundation cause a white cast in pictures?

Milk of Magnesia is a godsend for oily skin! I only use it on my T-zone & still moisturize before putting it on and I barely need to use blotting papers throughout the day and don't even bother with powder sometimes. Definitely worth trying! :)

Good advice! I've just stopped using moisturiser recently and have discovered that my "crows feet" Aren't as noticeable. Any idea why this could be? I thought moisturiser would stop the skin creasing as badly xx

i've been using Clinique's DDMG & Clarifying Lotion 4, and I swear that these products made my skin less oily. I do have combination skin so I need a moisturizer that's not too heavy so I chose I gel moisturizer w/c I think is best for oily skin.

I used to have really oily skin. I carry around oil sheets. And i used to have to wipe my face every hour at school. How embarrasing.! Anyways i was searching up in the internet, for oily skin. I found this natural mask. A banana mask. One banana, a tsbp of honey. Lemon or orannge. Mash the banana into puree. Add the honey n the lemon/orange(few drops) Leave on for 15 min. before rinsing with a cool washcloth or a steaming warm washcloth.

In my experience, putting a little bit of EV Olive oil with wet fingertips over my face, instead of moisturizer, after washing and toning makes me wake up to normal skin - not oily, not dry. During the day, the less I put on the better.

I've been using honey and sea salt mixed for masks and scrubs and it actually helped.
I did it every 2 or 3 days for a few weeks and I can honestly see a difference in terms of imperfections and oily sensation.
Now I only do it once a week or whenever I feel like it.
It's cheap and natural and doesn't dry my skin.
Try it if you haven't already.
theboxorthebag 4 months ago
Like someone already pointed out above, oily skin can get dehydrated just like any other skin type (depending on the climate you live in, the hardness of the water in your area, time of year, etc.). I definitely do need to use a moisturizer on my oily skin, I just make sure all the products I use are oil free and made specifically for my skin type.

I totally agree that primers are a wait of time & money. I broke out from using them. And I do find that my skin is less oily if I don't use a moisturizer. I only use a light 1 if my skin is feeling dry. Which is hardly ever. I stopped using face masks, cos they seem to make my skin even oilier for about a week after use. Will try the MoM as a mask though. Thanks for the video

@Arriolaah Right, glad someone gets this! Sebum/skin oil does not add moisture to skin, it can only help hold moisture in. Moisture equals water! Moisturised skin can only come through applying water, water-attracting humectants or ingestion. Oils form a seal which helps keep the water from evaporating through skin so one might not feel the need for moisturisers if one lives in a very humid environment. But if one's oily skin also feels dry then then one could absolutely use a mosturiser.

You should try japanese aburatorigami!Google it =) It's an oil blotting paper made of rice, really thin sheets that you just pat in the oily areas of your face and it absorbs all the extra oil, even when you have your make up on. It's perfect to get rid of shines in your face , so you don't have to apply more powder and pack your skin with more product. It's not expensive,you can get them in a store called Muji, that has japanese products, check the website for stores close from where you live.

I used Accutane for 6 months, during that time I suffered from colitis, couldn't drink because it also affects your liver and pancreas, I had super dry skin, the skin around the corners of my eyes was always red & sore and also around my mouth and nose, and my whole body itched all the time, Accutane does work but like 2 weeks after I used it my skin started to get oily again, I don't get pimples any more but all the excess oil came back.
It works but as you said it has tons of nasty side ef

Magnificent info yet again, thank you from an oily lady! In regards to the milk of mag, you can get something called "Calm" here in the States. It's the pure form of magnesium in a powder form with no added ingredients etc. You just make a paste out of this powder and use it the same way you are using MOM. Magnesium is very useful for many things such as natural sleep aid, constipation (sorry for the TMI, LOL) etc.

You forgot to mention Retin-A which is the topical version of Accutane. Of course Accutane containing isotretinoin and Retin-A containing tretinoin, which are both derivatives of Vitamin A. Retin-A can decrease oil production overtime without all of the harsh side effects of Accutane. Although, Retin-A not as high strength as Accutane does a fantastic job at ridding the skin of acne, wrinkles and oil. I've used Retin-A for nearly two years and now have a beautiful Normal to dry complexion.
