What is the best natural product to use for oily face?
I’m 23, drink water and exercise.. but my face gets really oils (especially T-zone). I’ve lately tried Olive Oil because it’s suppose to absorb the excess oil, but sometimes it makes my face too dry or too oily. I have very sensitive skin, so sometimes I break out. Any tips?

Bare minerals mineral veil. Trust me I had oily skin and after I used that my skin just didn’t look oily ever again.

Simply saying a product is “natural” doesn’t tell you anything about the efficacy of the ingredients in a product. Remember, poison ivy is natural too, and I can’t imagine a fan of all-natural products applying that to their skin instead of a benign synthetic ingredient.
The notion that natural ingredients are better than synthetic ingredients is even more distressing, because it just isn’t true. While vegetable or plant oils may sound better for the skin, varying forms of silicones (i.e., siloxanes, dimethicones, cyclomethicones) are just as beneficial and offer impressive benefits for the skin. But it’s hard to glamorize and advertise a “synthetic,” unnatural-sounding ingredient. Silicones show up in over 80% of all skin-care, makeup, and hair-care products you buy. Yet you rarely hear about them because the cosmetics companies think consumers won’t find them as sexy or alluring as plants, or oxygen therapy, or cellular repair, or a thousand other marketing angles that have nothing to do with what really works for your skin.

Natural ingredients aren’t always the best.
Arsenic is natural do you want that on your face?
Poison ivy is 100% natural, do you want that on your face?
the best natural product to use for oily face is some oil absorbing papers, or oil blotting papers.
***BTW- mineral veil is cornstarch based so it’s best to be avoided if you have blemishes or are blemish prone! :)

Natural is the way to go. Why would you ever choose a synthetic chemical based product when there is an effective natural one available? Tea tree oil has been proven to be as effective as benzoyl peroxide but without the side effects. Because consumers are becoming more conscous of what we put on/in our skin, you can find tea tree oil cleansers and lotions in most stores.
Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone are used to make dry oil perfume sprays and hair serums. They do not have natural counterparts. Although cyclomethicone is a good product and biodegradable, not sure what that has to do with acne or facial skin care?
