oily face?

[QuickQuart]

Recently, i've noticed that my face (especially on my nose) has been kind of oily...not in a crazy excessive way, but just a little bit. I use proactiv for acne, and a mild facewash in the shower. Anyone else have a similar problem? Could it be because of the stuff i'm using for my face?

I dunno what it might be, but I get that too quite often... just wash your face (with just water) a couple of times a day and that's it... remember cold water closes your pores, so it will take more time to get oily again if you use cold water to wash your face...

I doubt the oiliness is from the acne treatments. It's probably just your skins natural oils that are causing the buildup. Try using an astringent before you go to bed and when you wake up. It kind of sucks up all the oil, without leaving you feeling dry. (However, if you do end up with dry skin, just use a moisturizer)
