I sure wish it was this easy.....For those who have tried all of

these oils and still the texture of your skin has that orange peel look

consider microdermabrasion treatments. There is a new Salt Peel that is even

less abrasive than micro and gives great results. I have had 12

microdermabrasion treatments and 2 Salt Peels. The difference in the texture

of my skin is amazing. It didnt aggravate the rosacea at all. Many derms do

Photoderm and microdermabrasion together now. It works....and you dont have

to wait months to see results.

Finally, someone that thinks like I do on the oils!!

olive oil and use that daily instead of butter and salad dressings. >>

I use emu oil though. On spagetti and toast instead of butter. In salad

dressing it's thicker than the olive oil. I take the gel-cps too. Done an

incrediable job lubricating my skin from the inside out!

I have oily skin too, here is how I handle the situation:

I do not use a moisturizer: that is only for people with dry skin.

I use Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. I have easily irritated skin

that

is prone to break out, and this one really works for me. It has 2%

salicylic acid. It really helps reduce the oil, keep clogged pores

open and has reduced the appearance of my pores. After washing, my

face

occasionally feels a bit dry, but my skin soon takes care of itself

on that count. After that, I apply metrogel. Then, skip the makeup.

I

use Clinique Super City Block tinted 25 SPF sunscreen with titanium

dioxide. For most occasions, this is my choice. Even in winter, that

provides all the moisturizer I need. When I really want to look a

little more " made up " I use the Clinique Almost Makeup instead of the

City Block. This has a bit more coverage, comes in several shades and

has an spf of 15, due to titanium dioxide. I follow either with

Arden Flawless Finish Dual Perfection Makeup (this is a

powder that can be applied with a wet or dry sponge: I use it as a

dry powder.) At the end of a long, hot day, I am a bit oily and the

stuff is not as nice looking as when I started the day, but it sure

beats what foundation over a moisturizer looks like. I hope this

helps.

Try the Neutrogena (and skip the moisturizer). Neutrogena is easy to

find and inexpensive and may help reduce the appearance of your

pores.

They also make a milder salicylic acid face wash called Adult Face

Wash

(or something close to that) and it is a bit milder.

Make sure you use a super-good moisturizer especially designed for

the eye area. I use Avon's undereye cream for dark circles. Clinique

has a really good moisturizer: the one aimed at undereye circles. (I'm

trying the Avon in an attempt to banish the undereye circles; no

improvement with the Clinique undereye circle cream, but it was an

excellent moisturizer, better than the Avon brand. Sorry, I can't

remember what it was called.)

Good luck,
