Skin problem....help needed!!

My face always feels greasy and disgusting.
I cleanse, tone etc, and wear mininimal make-up. (Bit of foundation and powder). I don't like to spend a lot on beauty products, so does anyone have any top tips, or good (cheap) products?

It's not spotty, it just feels gross!

Thanks in hopeful anticipation!!

Top tip and cheap - how about yoghurt? It's a good moisturiser, and a good cheap face pack, good for oily skin. mashed mango is good,too but not so cheap. Also mashed avocado for problem skin (and hair!) Honey and lemon, facepack. Advantage of oily skin -you won't age as quick as those of us with thin, dry skin cos you don't wrinkle so quick!

If you're using harsh or drying products it can exacerbate oiliness as skin overcompensates. Have you tried gentle cleanser and toner? I find if I go easy my skin becomes less slippery.

On the bright side, you'll probably age well .

Thanks guys. I think my hormones are up the creak... I never used to be like this.

I have terrible oily ( and spotty and blackheady ) skin - worse recently after stopping hormonal contraception, and I've just started using Dermalogica products. It's not cheap at all, unfortunately, but I'm buying the small kits from eBay, which is more affordable. So far I love the antibacterial face wash, and the oil control lotion - it's really making a difference, especially the latter.

Ooh, might try that. Thanks
