I have just discovered a perfect solution to my oil slick skin and huge pores!

My skin is unbelievably oily, within an hour of applying mineral make up (or any other kind, have tried them all) a sheen appears which gets steadily worse and I look awful by lunchtime.

Have tried all sorts of primers, with varying success, but nothing has really made much difference. I was doing some 'research' online the other night and stumbled upon something called 'OC8', it's a mattifier which absorbs the oil on your skin. Claims to keep it oil free for up to 8 hours. Reviews looked quite good so I ordered it.

Tried it for the first time yesterday and omg, it actually works! My skin stayed completely matte until lunchtime and even by 3pm it only had a slight sheen to it. I have never had results like this before with anything so thought I'd share with you as I'm sure there's someone else out there with skin like mine.

I also ordered some Benefit Porefessional which I used over the top of the OC8 today and it's also really good, made a big difference to the size of my pores.

I'm feeling quite good about my skin today :)

Thanks for that recommendation. I have just ordered some Smile

I can also recommend the oil cleansing method and Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant. Jojoba Oil is also nice for moisturising. It doesn't make your skin more oily, just use it last thing at night then pat your face with water the next morning.
