    What does everyone use for oily skin? My head is more prone to being oily (I shave my head). I can get up take a shower and shave. Then by 4:00pm my head is pretty oily. Any advice?

    I'm having the same problem. Tend Skin seems to help. I've heard Alum is good too, but I actually found it too drying. I would avoid alcohol based splashes for while and see if that helps. You may have dry and/or dehydrated skin and the oil is your body overcompensating. Glycerine soaps and moisturizers have been highly recommended by my dermatologist, but if you are in a dry climate, they can make the problem worse.

    Baby wipes, unscented. I keep them all over the place. Very refreshing especially if you add a bit of Florida Water.

    There is always anti shine creams too, but I don't know, it could get expensive. I like the baby wipes idea
