Here's what I use: <a href="https://store.drhauschka.com/b2c/ecom/ecomEnduser/items/itemDetail.aspx?&#038;page=&#038;store=&#038;itemNum=NDO&#038;siteId=1" rel="nofollow">https://store.drhauschka.com/b2c/ecom/ecomEnduser/items/itemDetail.aspx?&#038;page=&#038;store=&#038;itemNum=NDO&#038;siteId=1</a></p> <p>Also, do you use a toner? If not, using one should help combat the oil production as well. Just look for one without alcohol, as that will dry out your skin and.....yeah, more oil production! </p> <p>Finally, a good powder can also help to combat oil throughout the day. I use a Chanel pressed powder, but also really love Youngblood's translucent finishing powder - that stuff will keep your face shine-free all day long and it isn't heavy at all! <a href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/youngblood-mineral-perfecting-powder" rel="nofollow">http://www.birchbox.com/shop/youngblood-mineral-perfecting-powder</a></p> <p>Here's some info on using oil, it's a "like treats like" philosophy: <a href="http://www.drhauschka.com/find-products-for-your-skin/7-facts.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.drhauschka.com/find-products-for-your-skin/7-facts.aspx</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ways-to-combat-oily-skin-during-pregnancy#post-877941 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 16:38:48 +0000 artsyfartsy 877941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I've always had normal skin that's just been a little on the dry side. I started experiencing oily skin the day I got pregnant (although I didn't know it then). Now, almost 6 weeks pregnant I am a big grease ball.</p> <p>I'm using those blotting papers and they work great! The only thing is I'm using them at least 5 times a day.<br /> I also scrub my face with baking soda 3 times a week. This is good at keeping the oil from causing too many breakouts and blackheads. </p> <p>Anyone have any good ideas about helping control this or recommend any good products? I'm still using my products I have for my normal/dry skin so I may need to switch. </p>
