oily skin is one of the hardest things to deal with. most people that have it  struggle to keep themselves as matte as possible. but here's the thing, being oily is great! you get less wrinkles , your skin consistently looks healthy, but you are more blemish prone and shiny and you probably hate it. 

here is a little known trick to help with your oily production...USE A MOISTURIZER!!!

your skin is trying to hydrate its self. in order to do that it produces more oil for hydration. this excess oil will sit on the skin until it is able to be absorbed. using a moisturizer will help alleviate this. if the skin is already hydrated it is less likely to be excessively oily. that doesn't mean that you will magically no longer have oily skin it just won't be as oily. over time this could cause the skin gain some normalcy. a balanced skin is a happy skin and you will find that it will have less problems if it is happy. now it is still necessary to get the appropriate moisturizer. let me list a few options

Boscia Oil Free Daily Hydration with SPF 15
* a lightweight natural option
* plant based skincare with lots of results
* more suited for the oily skin client that is still pretty sensitive

* deeply hydrating using a higher grade of dimethicone
* strong mattifiers that absorb oil for 24 hours
* best for the oiliest of clients
