    Hi the last few weeks I have noticed my face getting quite greasy at work. I started a new job so I think it is the air conditioning there that is causing the issue. I usually only wear tinted la roche posay moisturiser. I have very sensitive skin so it can be hard to find new products which both work and don't irritate my skin. Does anyone have any tips on how to overcome this. I don't really want to have to start wearing foundation.

    Could oil bloating sheets help you?

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll have to take a trip to boots soon. Do the blotting sheets actually work? I have tried them years ago but don't remember them being any good. Any brands in particular that are good.

    I think they a great quick fix but you'll definitely have to look at why your skin is producing too much oil. Oily skin folk tend to use harsher cleansers which actually cause the skin to produce more oil, same with avoiding moisturising, it can make be the reason your skin produces more oil :(

    I totally agree. I have used cleaners and moisturers for very oily skin for years. since about november I have noticed that was skin was extra senstive to everything. it is sensitive anyway but everything was irrating or drying my skin out. I had some coconut oil in the kitchen so have being using that for the last month. My skin produces way less oil now. My makeup needs less powdering.

    I the last week I am using a different cleanser also so hopefully that will help also.
