How to Kiss Greasies Good-bye

[Jessy1290]

During hot, hazy days, grease is all too often the word as our skin creates excess oil and sweat in response to the torrid temperatures. To stay shine-free, follow this oil-curbing advice:

# Don't wash your face more than twice a day. If you strip your skin of too much oil, you'll send your pores into overdrive to compensate, says Mary Lupo, a New Orleans dermatologist.

# Trade your standard foundation for one that contains a grease-absorbing ingredient like alum.

# Touch up your T-zone with a clear lotion or solid balm specifically meant to erase shine. Try Avon Pore-Fection Mattifier cream or 5S Oil Block balm.
