Oily skin - the bane of my life for most of my childhood up until i was about 30.

Dealing with oily skin can be tricky but it can be controlled.

I know people don't always agree but stopping overloading the skin with excess moisturisers can go a long way to stopping this. Oily skin has its own moisture - and lots of it - so adding more isn't necessary.

If you want to moisturise your skin - use serums as these are less emollient.

Milk of magnesium is great for controlling oily skin. Worn as a face mask, rinsed off - can stop oily skin for hours and hours and hours. For VERY oily skin it can be left on, then foundation applied over.

BE WARNED - milk of magnesium can be drying - so you don't want to go too far with this - let you skin be your guide.

I found that many dermatologist also recommend milk of magnesium for controlling oily skin :)

And lots of shine control products also have this in the ingredient list.

  • You are the best Makeup Guru HANDSDOWN. Thank you for what you do.

  • 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!

  • So excited to try this out! Subscribing :)

  • WOW! Wish I had know this in high school!

  • Lindo!

  • I've been using Milk of Magnesia for years!!! I feel validated :) I find it quite useful for me

  • 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!

  • Would I apply the milk of magnesium under or over primer before putting on foundation?

  • 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 wanted to ask well my skin got very oily scince 12 years old will my skin ever stop beeing oily someday ?

  • 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 so amazing!
