Oily shiny noes 24/7 Is there a medical condition that causes this? Within less than a half hour of washing my face, my nose feels like someone has smeared Vaseline on it.

Have had this problem for many years – I am always running into restrooms to wash my nose and apply a thin coat of tinted Clearasil to matte the shine. It is especially bad and troublesome in the summer :(

You’re washing it too much making oil to replace. The more you wash your face/nose, the more your body is programmed to pump out more oil.

The worst part is…to reverse the cycle, you need to quit washing so frequently (and switch your product) but your nose will continue to spew more oil till the cycle is reversed.

Do not use oil stripping products. Use something gentle. Cetaphil is a good choice. Stop with the Clearasil. Let your skin breathe.

There are oil blotting papers you can try. I think Neutrogena makes one. Also, I’ve heard that those paper toilet seat covers make excellent blotting papers. No joke…
