I think my skin should be in the Guiness Book... |

...of World Records. I can soak one of those oil sheets completely in oil like every hour and a half. That can't be normal.
 Semi-gross picture of what I mean here (this is like an hour and a half after doing my makeup): Spoiler  |

Woah. Mine always look the same after I use them. I thought they were BS and didn't work.

One of my aunts is like that. I've given her one a couple of times and she has like 0 oil. I'm so jealous.
 These are my lifesavers. I've never met anyone with skin as oily as mine. |

if you are willing to endure the side effects go on accutane. It will take you down to almost zero oil production and it will take years to get back to the level you are at now. Atleast it did for me.
If your Dr wont prescribe it, I may or may not know for a fact that you can order it can order it from river pharmacy without a prescription. Just google river pharmacy. |

Oh man. I thought mine was bad. Sorry.
 Mine was like that when I was like, 12. It was a nightmare. My hair too.

Look on the bright side, you will probably look 30 when you're 50!

There are monthly blood tests that really need to be done. When I took Accutane, my liver reacted badly to it. I wouldn't have known until I was jaundiced, probably, except it showed in the blood tests. |

Better than tanning every day and turning into a french fry.

My skin is super oily when I'm not on BC. It's so gross, especially in the summer.

my face used to be like that. Which brand of blotting sheets are you using? I find MAC has the best blotting paper and Medi Matte from Cosmedicine from Sephora works really well , too, but it's not compatible with makeup so i usually just put it on my nose.

Mine's pretty bad too. I hate it because in pictures my face always has a huge shiny spot on it no matter what I do.

This is going to sound weird, but I know a friend who swears by it.
I have a friend who has very, VERY oily skin. She read online that Starbucks napkins are made out of recycled paper, and are great for blotting skin. |

OT but I'm in the Guiness Book of World Records 199something. I sat on the worlds largest pumpkin with 2 other kids at a fair.
