Oily face and hair

[~clover~]

I have the same issues. Always have. I haven't tried anti dandruff shampoo though...
I've gone without conditioner, it makes no difference for me. I have to wash my hair in the morning because it's horrible by morning if done the night before & I'm really over it.
I wonder if I could hermit for a month to see if that works?

I've tried no shampoo/conditioner, just water, and it looks worse!
I might give dandruff stuff a go and see if it helps at all.
Hmmm, I'm a lover of conditioner, perhaps that's part of the problem? I slather it on the same way as shampoo and massage it in.

Has anyone tried Cetaphil for there face? Google searches have shown at lot of users from other pages, that it works well.

Would an acne wash work? Oily face and breakouts are a big issue lately too

Only time my skin isn't oily is when I'm pregnant!

My skin is the best it's ever been at the moment. I started using coconut oil a few weeks ago. But I took the risk of putting oil on oily skin, because it'd been good for so long. If I do break out it seems to speed up the healing at least. And my skin feels better.
I have broken out a bit this week, but have just had AF. I never have my hair out. It's always tied up off my face, so I think that helps. Have you tried phisohex? I found that really good for my skin.

I was on roaccutane (?) as a teen coz my skin was so bad :/

That could well be part of it. Was recently told by our hairdressing salon that when you wash out conditioner, it should feel like you have not put any in. Too much conditioner and it not being washed out properly was causing issues with DD1 and bad hair tangles, which sounds odd, but too much conditioner seems to cause problems.

So as suggested before, just the ends and wash out well.

And I wanted to mention another thing I'm experimenting with at the moment - dabbing on a solution of epsom salts mixed with water, then leaving it to dry and going to bed. You would think that something "salty" might dry the skin, but it doesn't and my skin looks awesome when I wake up. It's too early to call, but I think it might be helping with the oiliness factor too.
