Um washing of the skin can cause sebum production to increase if you are stripping the skin of its oils or drying it out by washing it too much. I have had this happen to myself and my dermatologist told me that the cause is over washing as it strips the skin of its oils so the glands work to replace those oils.

Oh dear...more silly superstition from the readers, and your dermatologist. Find a new one. The one you have now is 53 years out of date.

Jojoba oil also does trick the sebaceous glands into believing there is enough moisture on your skin so they do not produce oil.

PHOOEY.

Also Bryan the thread is two pages long so i think unless people are mentally handicapped or don't know how to read they can navigate back to page one and read what you said like I did. And I have purchased the sebaceous strips and tested this on myself which I have oily skin as stated above and my oil production increased. Yours might not have or the faces of the 1000's of scientific minds that you speak so highly of out there didn't but mine did.

I think you clearly must have made a mistake in the way you supposedly performed your test. Describe to me exactly what you did and how you did it, in detail, so I can pass on your methodolgy and the legitimacy of your "test".

Instead of being a total asshole, why not try and be helpful and actually tell us why you think it's "superstition". And stop acting like you're more intellectual then everyone else, cause I doubt you are.

I just want to say this past summer, after being frustrated by oily skin, began to wash my face every three hours...HUGE MISTAKE within an hour my face would rage with oil. I'm in college now and what I do now is shower in the morning with a mild wash, Cetaphil, put a little amount on, and BARELY touch my skin to wash it off. About mid-day I shower, without touching my face. Just let the water run on it for a little. Then i fine till bed time, where I do the same routine as the morning. My skin has never looked better and my self esteem is WAY up. I've been so happy with my routine I wanted to share it with anyone who'd listen.


Best of Luck!!!! Let me know if it works!

Washing your face doesn't cause it to "rage with oil", any more than washing your car or apartment causes them to "rage with dirt"!

I 've been on accutane twice. the second time after I got off my skin's oilyness returned. Tried all kinds of stuff to help with the oilyness but nothing really helped.

Doctor said that oily skin is hard to combat. So where does that leave me. SOL

Anyways I tried Jojoba oil on my face after washing morning and night. Although it is not comepletely cured I would say the oilyness is reduced by 75-85 percent. Give it a shot, do some research on it.

Good luck fellow friends.

Jojoba oil has many benefits, and is best used for the hair and skin.Jojoba oil the controls greasy texture of the skin.
