Hi,

I have a problem with oily skin, although it's not really oily, more of a shine, especially in sunlight!

The shiny parts are just on my cheeks where I have regularly applied jojoba oil and moisturiser for the past year or so. In other parts of my face the skin is not oily at all, it is actually dry and almost crispy.

I have stopped applying moisturizer to the cheeks for a couple of weeks now, however they still look very shiny.

Are they shiny because I used jojoba oil and moisturizer for so long? Every advice I see points to using more moisturiser and drinking more water to, paradoxically, make your skin less oily.

I have consistently used an oil-free moisturizer. Oh, and I have a cleanser too that I will/will not use depending on your comments.

Cheers!

From reading your post i would say you probably have combination skin, where its oily in the t-zone area but not oily anywhere else.
I can probably quite safely say it is not due to you using jojoba oil or moisturiser for too long.
To recommend a product to you i would probably say this http://www.paulaschoice.co.uk/skin-balanci...isture-gel.html, however for me personaly it didnt moisturise enough, but might be better for you, but thats why im still looking for a moisturiser as the one i did use that was amazingly good got discontinued.
