Face wash making face oily.?

I don't have overly oily skin. I do break out, mostly on my chin, due to hormones. When I wash my face, it makes it more oily. What face wash have any of you used that won't over-dry your face, and won't make it oily? I'm looking for over-the-counter stuff too. Nothing that has to be ordered through a website. Just stuff I can get at the store. Thanks!Face wash making face oily.?
You could use a gentle soap like Acetaphil. It works great for my skin.


Whatever you use - don't scrub or use a face cloth. Just lather up with your hands, rub gently on your face and then splash-rinse off with warm (tepid) water until the soap is all off. Then dry gently by patting it with a clean towel that only YOU will use.





You are right that washing your face is probably making your face oilier. The scrubbing stimulates the oil glands, as do the ';drying'; kinds of soaps.





Good luck!

Hi Kelbel:





I know you do not want to buy online, but the best thing you can use on your face is an all olive oil 100% soap. The best place to find this offline is to go to craft shows or festivals and find the soap booth. Then, ask for a pure olive oil soap.





I make one that is only olive oil with no scents or additives of any kind. I am not the only soapmaker who makes this particular soap. It is the best soap for all faces and really works. It leaves the face protected from harsh environments, as well as encouraging the oil glands to produce normally - no breaking out at all. It does not clog the pores. It is fantastic soap, and I highly recommend it for you. You would be very happy with the results.





Sorry to ramble...I feel passionate about it.





Thanks, Kathleen
Anything strong and astringent will make it worse. You are better off with a very gentle product. Try a gentle scrub and oil free moisturiser. Golfgirl's recmd good.
I have oily skin so I am not sure, but I love the Nutregena Face Wash. I always reduce my achne when I use that stuff.
Noxema.


It comes in a big blue container.
My 14 year old uses Acne Free and loves it. We buy it at Wal-Mart.
