LIFE CHANGING OILY SKIN HACKS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!!

[@aryabheemchund9231]

People always ask me what highlighter I'm wearing .My answer is always the same ,OIL.😂😂

[@nikkiajoy]

HHAHAHAHA!! I hear you girl!!!

[@aryabheemchund9231]

Nikkia Joy Oh my gosh you replied 😍❤️

[@lasa1211]

cheap, good and 24/7 on))

[@rimamaroc6685]

Hhhhhh oil in the wrong place 🤣🤣

[@dinaakhmetova4710]

ahahahhaha the same with me

[@andreacasaskelly9654]

Am i the only one who feels like KZbin has filled up with dry skin/ dewy loving youtubers?😂😂 i hardly find oily skin youtubers

[@sweettea5395]

I agree! Every time I watch a beauty KZbinr talk about her dry skin I roll my eyes and click out. Stephanie Lange and Thataylaa are oily-skin girls who I like watching.

[@Trecah79]

Another KZbinr that has oily skin is Zabrena. I really like her. She is oily skin and extremely fair which I am as well. Finding a KZbinr that is oily skin AND fair is hard to find as well.

[@sweettea5395]

Oops, actually, Thataylaa has an oily T-zone, but I think that still counts. And I'd forgotten about Zabrena! Her videos are very helpful. 👍

[@robinaah1176]

agreed !! i have only been able to find a couple oily skinned youtubers that i can relate to. To name a few: Zabrena, Thataylaa, Samantha Jane, DramaticMAC, and now Nikkia!!! btw all those ytubers are great.

[@briguerrero9890]

ruarfa I : I honestly feel like girls are ashamed to say they are oily. So many people are like oh no I'm not oily I'm combination. And all that means is you are oily and dry. But it sounds better than oily. So many beauty gurus are like oh my skin isn't oily or anything but behind the camera they're probably a grease boat like me and you. Idk why it's a negative thing it's just genetics. It's sad, us oily skin people need more people and tips to help us out!

[@aisharana9736]

As a person with really oily skin, I'm so glad I found your channel! Subscribed ☺️

[@RutujaDicholkar]

same

[@ProfessorSassypants]

I'm exactly the same :D just subbed too

[@Steph_andthebulldogs]

totally agree

[@hannarenec]

Another oily skin hack is to use primer, transparent powder, THEN setting spray before your foundation. When I did this it actually made everything apply a lot smoother, less cakey, made my skin feel smoother, AND less oily. It works wonders for my skin

[@MichaellaSapphire]

Oily girl here! Another tip regarding the blotting paper is before you touch up your makeup, BLOT first. I cannot emphasize that enough. It makes such a great difference for me personally. If you just add more powder without blotting the oil first, you're bound to be a cakey mess because it's just gonna slip n slide around, especially if you use pressed powder to touch up (like me).

[@Ana-di7pb]

omg RIGHT!! I have no idea how so many people apply powder without blotting!

[@MichaellaSapphire]

I cringe every time I think of how many times I'm guilty of not blotting my face first in the past. And I always wondered why my face gets oily so quickly...lmao

[@kelbell8127]

atba3 I used to do that before I knew what blotting papers were!! I would just slap powder on top of my greasy skin and It literally looked so bad. I want to go back in time and kick myself lmao

[@ItsCarrieKay143]

also, if you don't have blotting papers, grab a piece of toilet paper, preferably a thin one, or separate the pieces and blot. works as well, I have found tho that it can make some of the makeup transfer.

[@lilafons6443]

Yes! Thank you for this Nikkia! I will definitely second putting oil on at night, it works wonders. My skin produces so much less oil during the day because of my nightly oil over top of all my other night time products. But be careful with coconut oil, it's highly comedigenic. My sister is an esthetician and she said the best way to use coconut oil on your face is to mix it with used coffee grounds. I've used it as exfoliant (it plumps up fine lines and wrinkles and exfoliates really well when made into a paste. I use it before I wash my face and make sure to wash all the oil off). She also told me to use it as an undereye mask. Make that paste and apply to undereye area. Let sit for about 20-30 minutes. When you rinse it off puffiness is reduced, lines are plumped, dark circles are lighter and skin is super moisturized. Yes I have super oily skin, but I'm 35, so I definitely have fine lines under my eyes and really dark circles. It really works. Glad your neck is better. I've been there and it SUCKS! Take it easy though, don't want to throw it out again.

[@shayferreira2159]

hi.. let me see if I get it.. for dark circles the paste you mention is the one with coffee grains?! I really need a solution for this lol

[@Italianqueen1966]

Lila Fons Lila, I'm very interested in how you use the oil at night! Plus, using oil and used coffee grounds to exfoliate your face and using it as an under eye treatment!! I would love to chat with you more about this, but I don't have Twitter, Facebook, snap chat or anything like that, just email! I would be grateful if we could correspond via email regarding this subject. If your willing I will give you my email address, so PLEASE give me a shout! That would be great!!💕

[@lilafons6443]

Yes you make a paste of coconut oil and used coffee grounds (make sure they are used) place it under your eyes and let sit for about 25-30 minutes. It really plumps up the skin, lessens dark circles, and super moisturizers the area. Just mix in a bowl, no certain amount, just make sure it's a "pasty" consistency.

[@lilafons6443]

Kathy Byrne sure I'm all for helping. It has changed my skin. I might be slow to respond right now, I'm in the hospital, but will help you in any way I can.

[@Italianqueen1966]

Lila Fons Lila, I'm sorry to hear your in the hospital, my thoughts of healing are with you! Though, I appreciate it so much for you replying! Do you you apply the paste at part of your PM routine? Do you use your normal cleanser (face wash) to remove and apply any moisturizer over the after? Also, you mentioned, having oily skin that you use the coffee grounds all over your face and apply the oil which in turns helps maintain your oily skin. Therefore, same questions as mentioned above? When your feeling better I would be extremely grateful to correspond via email with you, so we may discuss this further. I'm always interested in new techniques and tricks/tips like this. Like I said, I'm just a RN, not trying to steal any ideas for any gain but to help my under eyes area and face; nor representing some company!! Thank you again and feel better soon!! 💕

[@citizentee2022]

Hi Nikkia! I'm 54 and I still have oily skin (like I can stick a piece of paper to my forehead in the morning, kind of oily)! It's a pain, but good news for your younger fans; oily skinned gals like us do get way less wrinkles than our dryer-skinned friends! My new dermatologist thought I was in my early 40s at my last appointment in June. So take heart, everyone! I also wanted to mention that taking a low-dose contraceptive pill really helps to normalize oily skin. I am too old for this but (with approval by your doctor) younger women may also consider this. It's the Estrogen that really helps. Also, I'd recommend staying away from any face products that have fragrance in them which can aggravate acne. Like you touched upon, any product that makes your face feel tight or stings, is actually hurting not helping your skin (wish I knew that when I was a teenager!). For your 11th hack, I'd also include sunscreen; the ultimate ant-aging product! Minimum SPF 30. I actually use an SPF 45 moisturizing sunscreen as my moisturizer. There are also sunscreens for oily skin out there. Just avoid the ones with fragrance. Your reward for wearing sunscreen everyday will be apparent when you get older ('cause you will still care, believe me!). Hope this is helpful!

[@FadeXscape1]

Every oil I've tried, due to success stories and hype, has broken me out. I'm not risking it anymore since it takes the better part of a year for the hyperpigmentation from breakouts to go away. A lot of these are great tips, but not always so for more mature acne prone skin. Believe me, I've tried.

[@Lizzie5026]

FadeXscape1 Try looking into castor oil

[@KarissaShetler]

Hey I have the same exact problem oils only seem to break me out more and my acne scars take forever to disappear, if it's any help to you Aloe Vera seems to be pretty nice to me.

[@bean5460]

The loreal infallible setting spray is soooo good for oily skin ! ive also been wanting to try the slay all day setting spray so im glad you mentioned it x

[@TheMunchyelena]

it's ok. I have it and have very oily skin and it doesn't control my oil. honestly, I think the loreal and wet n wild setting sprays are just as good!

[@zarazohl6413]

Hey girls.. I felt exactly the same way, when I found Nikkia's channel a long time ago, I was really beginning too think that there wasn't any beauty guru's out there on KZbin who really understood my problems with applying beautiful makeup, they all have normal to dry skin, and they all use that dewy finish to look glowing and healthy, and all it did for me, was making me look like a greasy lightbulb 😵💡🆘 but theeeen, like a bright beautiful light✨ at the end of a looooong 39 years old, makeup is not for me "look" I suddenly found a video about "keeping your foundation on your nose 👃🏻 All day...I thought 💭 here we go again, but 30 seconds in I WAS HOOKED, she is amazing 💖 she have literally taught me, HOW to apply makeup, what to buy, and what NOT to buy, when you have oily skin, at the age of 39 I cannot even tell you, how much that have changed my life...I am soooo sooooo grateful @nikkiajoy you are a lifesaver 💗💗🙏🏼💖💋💋 I adore you to pieces, thank you so so much gurl💖💖

[@theparajse2020]

Youkeyy

[@Yamumya69]

Giiiiirl!! I’ve watched a bunch of your oily skin videos and I tried a few of your hacks today - my face has LITERALLY NEVER LOOKED BETTER! People commented on how natural and flawless my skin looked, and I got no cracks, lines or patches...THANK YOU!!!

[@rebeccafigueroa7530]

Thank you for these tips! They are extremely helpful! Can you please make a skin care video? You have very smooth and clear skin, and I struggle with texture on my skin. I would really like to see what tips I can get from your skin care routine

[@Italianqueen1966]

I second that request!!!!!!

[@leslie6049]

I AGREE! please do make a skin care video for us!

[@mariarhoten1151]

Same here. Please.

[@rebeccafigueroa7530]

Gill H Thank you for the recommendation! I'll definitely try it out :)

[@Italianqueen1966]

Gill H Gill, where can you buy the apiclear? Thank you if you reply!!💕

[@altheabeaty8397]

Using a mattefying moisturizer is amazing too. The Murad one leaves my oil slick of a face moisturized and smooth but not oily for a few hours (which is such a long time for me). I notice a huge difference when I do and don't use it! Love these videos from you Nikkia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ being oily is so hard

[@kidsofyesterday17]

I'm just about to purchase this and I really hope it works it was the biggest struggle to find a moisturizer that also protects against uva rays and that's from a company that is cruelty free. hopefully it works

[@AlexandraNatashia]

Super random but toilet paper and receipts work just as well as blotting sheets if you happen to run out and need a quick fix!

[@Sol-bc5cm]

Yes, Agreed! At work, I use the toilet sheets

[@mariarhoten1151]

Years ago, I read that toilet seat covers are basically the same as most public bathroom toilet seat covers. The singles that are in a box and you pull out one at a time. I love the clean n clear little blue oil absorbing sheets. They are a little pricier, but REALLY work.

[@cassiewhitmarsh61]

I wouldn't recommend using receipts. I watched a documentary and it showed how even just touching a receipt can emit BPA into your skin :(

[@emilyeverson661]

Napkins too!

[@someguy5199]

Receipts have so much bpa which raises estrogen levels. Don't do it!

[@believerofUFO]

Finally I have found hacks for oily skin & a KZbinr who HAS oily skin that gives tips on oily skin. I have a really oily T- Zone & my foundation slides off my nose exposing my pores & upper lip area. I'm definitely trying some of these hacks. Thank you for your helpful tips!! You are my savior lol. New subscriber! xoxo

coconut oil is the biggest mistake you could ever make

why?

+Black is my life it can clog your pores

[@byrellebrass7387]

If your skin is a Goddess and doesn't get affected by anything ever go ahead. Lol but thats not my skin. My skin breaks out at a touch

[@rae765]

yeah, it blocked my pores when i slept with it, but i like to use it to remove makeup

[@emelydelarosa1251]

same

[@doreentravis6499]

OMG blotting paper should be your best friend!! Especially in the summer when you tend to sweat from humidity! Never used to use it but tried it and will not go without it! Even though I have dry skin it is a life saver!

[@Kim-lz9vu]

Believe it or not, milk of magnesia literally works wonders! I've learned this from youtubers. You can get it for $1 and some change at the dollar tree. You just paint one layer of it on your face with a foundation brush, (2 layers if your skin is prone to looking like a COMPLETE grease ball) then as it dries it turns into a chalky white residue, and after its completely dry, you just dot "Monistat chafing relief powder gel" (sold at target and some CVS stores) on your face and rub it in, it gets rid of all the white chalky stuff. It makes your makeup apply ridiculously smooth and your face literally stays MATTE all day. No kidding, when I do this, my makeup doesn't move. I even slept with my makeup on and everything stayed in place and I was STILL matte!! This technique is the secret that makeup artists use to keep brides looking matte all day for their wedding!! It truly works I'm telling you.

[@mickeyjennings1438]

I too use this routine! It completely changed my life. I have got eyes on me everywhere I go now!!!

[@Kim-lz9vu]

@@mickeyjennings1438 Awesome! Yeah that still works. You can use “Magnesium Citrate” liquid instead, it’s just like milk of magnesia but it’s CLEAR! No more white chalkiness. You just wait for it to dry completely then apply the monistat chafing relief over it and it keeps you matte all day. I think it actually works a little better than regular milk of magnesia. It just tingles a little bit on the skin because the one I have is lemon flavored but it doesn’t smell like lemon at all.

[@elverathomson7426]

Oh my gosh!!! I tried the finishing spray over the primer before foundation..... I wore my makeup for over 12 hours today and I didn't need to touch up or blot oil all day. I can't believe it. I'm practically dripping with oil after 4 or so hours usually, even with matte foundation. Thank you!!! Seriously the best advice ever!

[@sammyocgirl7411]

OMG coconut oil is the WORST FOR OIL SKIN

[@mrsnickjonas890]

girl, it's heaven for our skin, don't be silly

[@sammyocgirl7411]

nope it clogs the pores use rose hip seed oil much better

[@wyldchild39]

Yes! I was hoping someone would say this. It clogs your pores and could cause you to break out, rose hip seed oil is much better and also helps to clear acne scars.

[@melissa90ify]

Yup, coconut oil is comedogenic

[@Alexaa1392BnF]

Where can you get rose hip seed oil from?

[@graciejohnson9628]

i tried all but the coconut oil one today and i can't even explain how confident i felt, you're a life saver

[@nathalie2241]

I am just going to say this! You are the most beautiful woman in KZbin. Period!! Your personality is lovely as well. Please don't ever change!!! Hugs!

[@angiefrizzellaxman3019]

Great advice!! Oily skin gets even trickier as you get older and need to treat wrinkles. Kate Somerville Dermal Quench Liquid Lift is great under make-up, because it's a foam. You get anti-aging benefits and light moisture and it soaks all the way in. I totally agree w/ layering primers. I use the Skindanavia Primer spray (for oily skin) then the Makeup Forever mattifying primer (it works almost like a mask to tighten pores!). Then the NARS All Day Luminous foundation is GREAT!! Very thin and liquidy with great coverage, so you only put a tiny amount of foundation on your face, so it looks a lot more natural than the Estee Lauder. (I'm just not a fan of Estee Lauder foundations in general.) Then the Skindanavia setting spray...also for oily skin. - It's great to have a KZbinr that can really relate to the struggles of truly oily skin! :-)

[@joannasuzette8433]

please do a review on the new UD all nighter foundation! also, what setting spray do you recommend from these 3: skindanavia (oily skin), ud de slick setting spray or the cinema secrets super sealer mattifying setting spray?

[@faithtoler3952]

I love the skindinavia oil control setting spray and primer spray. Together they are perfection

[@teganswyny201]

I had to leave a comment and say thank you. I watched all of your videos on oily skin makeup and management then raced off to the shops for some new goodies. My makeup was literally melting off my face yesterday after a couple of hours, and today using a few new products and your application method- I'm shocked. It's 8 hours later and I barely need to touch up. Thank you thank you thank you. Xx

[@gillwilson775]

-Sigh- When your skin is so oily that you can't wear your hair down because it gets your fringe oily.... Also instead of using coconut oil I recommend Jojoba oil as it is the closet vegetable oil to the skins natural sebum, coconut oily is highly comedogenic which means it will likely clog your pores

[@nataliar9983]

Seriously you saved my lifeeeee!! Everything is sooooo acurate but I've been watching a lot of you tube Chanels and no one is better than u! You are the oily skin guru!!

[@Sol-bc5cm]

I swear that 95% of skincare and makeup tips on the internet are for dry skin, while I'm over here looking like I fell face first into a bowl of olive oil or something. I'm really looking forward to watching all of your oily skin videos, I need all the help I can get!

[@alexandriafitzwater9927]

I'm so glad you said to set with a damp sponge, I have been using that for awhile and it is amazing for keeping my makeup in place and matte all day! Great tips, I would love to see your favorite drugstore base products for oily skin.

[@SekaiHeiwa3]

hello!!! :) what moisturizer recommendations would you make? :)

[@mandybergman1740]

Since I started watching your videos and following your tips, I've been able to get my makeup to last over 12 hours! I start work at 4am so I apply makeup at 3am and it still looks great when I go to wash it off in the evening. The hourglass primer and slay all day spray are part of my routine now and they make a huge difference in how my make up looks and lasts. Thank you for making these videos!

[@nancyp3883]

I love how you make vids about oily skin!

[@divalynnstrunk547]

You are definitely right about the blotting papers... I use them with or without makeup. Great product and cheap!

[@brendateran4600]

I tried using coconut oil on my face and I broke out so bad

[@FAAnjum]

u cn try olive oil instead

[@kanaan7889]

Yeah loads of people say coconut oil is comedogenic so it clogs your pores😁

[@ambriajohnson178]

yeah coconut oil has a comedogenic level of 4 which is the highest level ...

[@prettyandpink01]

Try tea tree 😘

[@jazzibun]

Not surprising. Coconut oil is an incredibly comedogenic oil! Coconut oil is not the best oil for people with oily skin! I've got combo oily skin and I like sweet almond oil, grape seed oil and argan oil because they hydrate without breaking me out.

[@calmecal7406]

I just found your channel and I'm happy I did. I too have oily skin and I have to say I was skeptical about your suggestions, but I tried it. Started off with primer ,setting spray and followed by foundation. OMG... 8hrs at work makeup still on and didn't have to blot not once....Thank You

[@AlixGibbs]

Awesome video! My foundation is constantly sliding off my nose, I hate it! I'll have to try using the paint pot! xx

[@nikkiajoy]

It works wonders. Definitely give it a try ☺️.

[@emilykurtek9188]

+Nikkia Joy GREAT INFO!! TY😊 I've used Painterly PP for years on my eyes & lips but never on my face. What a great idea! I'm wondering if my hormonal, acne prone skin will break out tho? Have you found that to be an issue?

[@weisslr22]

I have been hoping to come across a beauty channel like yours. Someone who has very oily skin but still wants a full glam full coverage face! Can't wait to go and watch all your oily skin related videos. You're gorgeous and so helpful!! :)

[@charlottescells2732]

I do all of this stuff and whatever I do I am still disgustingly oily😪😪

[@bitemylipbitch]

maybe something isn't right with your hormons, I have a friend who used to be soooo so so oily and she went to the doctor and he told her that something bout her hormons was really messed up and now she takes some perscription and she's no longer that oily, her hair looks healthier and her skin is much more clear than then:)

[@kelbell8127]

MakeUpLover Yeah I agree with this. Especially with girls, when your hormones get out of whack your skin/hair can get really oily. Being somewhat oily is normal for some people, but I really don't think having skin that has oil literally pouring out of it is something that anyone should have to deal with! OP you should totally ask your doc for help.

[@charlottescells2732]

MakeUpLover perhaps !! I don't have oily hair or anything so

[@Sandypop111]

charlotte scells me too

[@jasmins1533]

Excess levels of B vitamins can also contribute to increased oil buildup.

[@msrefined1]

Oh my gosh!!!! I originally heard from Wayne Goss to use a setting spray and translucent powder before applying foundation/bb cream, but I didn't believe it until today. I tried it at 8am this morning and am still not oily 12 hours later. I have not touched up or used blotting powders. Normally I would be super oily by noon. Thank you so much!!!!

[@btaylortv]

This is sooooo true! I use coconut oil and a light moisturizer and my face is less oily!

[@nikkiajoy]

It works so well :)

[@amcmee_]

I've been using castor oil. coconut breaks me out. but yes I have less oil now.

[@MrGoldfisheyes]

Apparently castor oil is a drying oil? I used it for 2 days and it made my skin soooo dry and scaly :(

[@amcmee_]

That sucks. It made my skin really soft, smooh and supple. But, I switched to avocado oil. Since they say castor oil makes your skin purge. It's even better and more absorbent.

[@ataliaanne]

Thank you so much for doing this video! It's so incredibly informative, and I love that your so relatable! Your a beautiful person inside and out xxx

[@amandalatre4116]

[@GinAmber]

COCONUT OIL is comedogenic

[@princess_sa_see]

Coconut oil is comedogenic. If you have an acne-prone oily skin, it will break you out. There have been trials that showed how bad the coconut oil is for oily skin types. It just is. sorry.

[@IIIIKaroIIII]

Gin Amber what about jojoba oil? Any thoughts/experiences?

[@sooku6538]

IIIIKaroIIII Jojoba oil is kinda similar to the oils produced by the skin, so it should be pretty good. It didn't break me out at least. Worth trying it out 😊

[@emilyburgmeier8826]

Argan oil rates as a zero on the comedogenic scale and does NOT clog pores. Jojoba is a 2 and coconut oil is a 4 and really clogs the pores

[@lisas7474]

i used to have a veeery dry skin and never had breakouts. nothing helped me out ... except of coconut oil. which made me get some afterwards. it really is.

[@shellysanders5329]

Thank you so much for sharing your secrets, most ppl do not share. I always try to help other ppl bc I want them to feel beautiful; we all want to be beautiful. ATTENTION!!!: You can also use Olive oil on your skin at night, the dark green the better. Olive oil has excellent properties for anti- aging, oil problems, scars, dark spots, wrinkles, etc. Thank you girlie! ✌❤ Shelly💋

You have saved my face and slip & sliding of my makeup. Putting makeup on for school and having last all day won't be such a nightmare now. Thank you so much!

[@moonchild_778]

I have a different problem I have oily skin but I seem to have troubles with my skin even absorbing the foundation. I don't know if anyone will have tips for me but when I put on foundation it seems to just sit on my skin and soon as I touch my face it wipes off and this happens right away. I don't know if I'm using too much foundation or what but I hate putting on foundation to have it just come off or look cakey :( do you think pushing in my foundation after will really help?

[@dunmer_appreciator1379]

Idk how much foundation you're using but maybe you could try using less foundation. Makeup is a lot of trial and error for most people, so you might have to just experiment more and keep looking up and trying different tips and tricks. Also, are you setting your foundation with a setting powder and/or setting spray (I like to use both)? Are you exfoliating your skin at all? Using primers before putting foundation on? These are all great things to try if you aren't already. If you are though, then I'm not sure (hopefully someone else might have better suggestions or add things I missed). But I would start with those things!

+Courtney Case thank you! I think a little while after I posted this I discovered that it probably was that I was using too much foundation. I'd always hear beauty gurus in their videos saying they used 1-2 pumps of foundation and I thought that's what i needed but I used like a dime size all over my face and my face looked so much less textured and I think my foundation didn't move as much thankfully! Thank you for the tips :) I also always use a primer and set with powder and depending on the day setting spray. I'm going to try the pushing in method in a few days and hopefully it'll make my face look even more flawless afterwards.

[@dunmer_appreciator1379]

+jordaneer4evaa Oh good! I'm glad it's working out better for you (: I also notice my foundation doesn't stay on as good or I'll look super cakey if I put too much on. Sometimes I still make that mistake. Old habits die hard I guess, lol. Have a wonderful day/night!

[@RiverOfBeautyNZ]

100% agree so much to moisturising! Made such a HUGE difference to my skin when I started using it about 2 years ago! Having trouble with extra oily skin again at the moment, so hoping some of these tips will help! The Garnier Anti-shine cleanser is really good by the way!

[@beautybymalinda2853]

Be careful with coconut oil if you are acne prone. It's highly comedogenic! Use a beauty oil designed for the face. I love Eminence Organics facial recovery oil.

[@chocobear7851]

Love your nail polish and eyeshadow. I use the Pond's clarant face cream for oily skin. It comes in a pink jar and it moisturizes as well as mattifies my skin after I wash my face. I exfoliate gently in the mornings to get dead skin cells off then am good to go with my Pond's cream. It also evened my skin tone. Thanks for the coconut oil tip. Will try it tonight

[@lilissupafly]

I have oily skin and eczema... how is this possible?? Also, can anyone recommend any drug store/low-end primers or setting sprays?

[@carliquiel]

Asprin me too! It's the worst

[@tipsyvalkyrie6618]

I LOVE the nyx mattifying spray, by far my favourite!

[@77csfeline]

Nikkia, you have given me such great advice when it comes to my super oily skin. So many beauty youtubers have dry skin, and i have started watching your videos waaaayyyy more than theirs because I feel that their advice can't apply to me. However, I still feel like an oily freak. I have tried hourglass mineral veil with urban decay all nighter foundation, then set with Laura mercier translucent setting powder. Then I use the urban decay de-slick setting spray. AND... I literally get oily in an hour. My makeup is breaking up completely five hours after, despite following your touch up routine (blotting papers--like four an hour--dirty beauty sponge, translucent powder, etc...) which helped a lot for sure, but I almost just want to give up on foundation completely. It only looks good for an hour. I'm so discouraged. And I'm FORTY. I thought I was supposed to dry out by now. I'm sad. I just want my makeup to stay pretty but I end up looking like a dirt bag by the end of the day. Oily skin is so frustrating. I'm supposed to get the Gerard cosmetics setting spray tomorrow, but I'm losing hope 😔

[@dianasj]

Coconut oil is one of the worst oils for the face! Yes, natural oils are good BUT not coconut oil.

[@nikkiajoy]

Its funny - coconut oil works wonders for my skin!

[@sarahlynne1465]

dianasj, coconut oil cleared my acne.

[@melissaramirezrincon6128]

Why not?

[@adrianlewis4898]

what about olive oil?

[@veronikabor]

Finally someone got it! I hate those skin products für 'oily skin' that take away all of your skin oil and you oil faster afterwards. Perfect video

[@F.sweet1]

Coconut oil was proven to clog pores.....so I wouldn't recommend that

[@nikkiajoy]

It doesn't clog mine. Remember that different ingredients always act differently on every skin - and what you read on the Internet may not always be true for you! Have a great day xx

[@ETH-1013]

The using oil on your face hack really works! I started using a few drops of oil mixed in with my moisturizer at night, every night and I can tell my skin isn't as oily as it usually is! I'm still oily, but it's not grease chicken like it was in the past. 😍

[@Vampi223]

My makeup look caky on my nose & don't stay it's really annoys me 😢 anyone know what I should do?

[@hannahjenkins6230]

Mine used to do this too until I gave my primer about 5 minutes to sink into my skin before doing foundation 😊

[@kristinaj.5836]

It also helps me to go over my nose with a beauty blender! Whenever I'm done doing everything

[@prettyandpink01]

Try to put a translucent powder on your before you apply foundation. Alyssa forever swears by it and it actually improved my oils

[@sashakattt6750]

Use a dry sponge to place it on your nose

[@bravesthope]

apply concealer

[@abby-anne]

I cannot thank you enough for the oily skin hacks. I will def try the eye primer on your nose tip! SUBSCRIBED!

[@paigek409]

I thought coconut oil was bad for your face? I've been told it clogs pores.. i'm very confused lol

[@giggles1219]

paige kaufmann DON'T USE IT I'm speaking from experience

[@adrianlewis4898]

if you have Acne Prone Skin, use it only at night before you go to bed, mix it with your moisturizer, and BE SURE to blot it off the skin before you sleep.

[@emmaferguson4006]

I apply coconut oil nearly everyday, but wash it off immediately so I have no problem! I have oily skin but it works!

[@lisagrl66]

So most of what you said I already knew. Except for the hack on macs paint pot and using setting spray prior to foundations. Thanks for the awesome tips. I'll be trying these both 😍😍

[@ViVi-du6ls]

Do you have any tips for eyeshadow and mascara? Because my mascara always melt and it look like I just wake up after party hard 😂 Btw, Your video really help a lot

[@tbsfreak]

Your mascara is probably the type that doesn't really dry quick, so find one that does. A good, cheap one would be this mascara from Essence. Forgot what it's called by it's in an all-black tube. It dries quick so there's no smudging throughout the day, AND it's easy to remove!

[@tbsfreak]

But just letting you know the brush head is pretty huge for a mascara so be careful not to get the mascara on your lids when you're applying 😂

[@Tea_Noire]

You're probably buying mascaras that flake and smudge easily. If you're looking for a drugstore priced product, try the Maybelline Falsies for volume, and Maybelline Lash Stiletto for length and definition. If you really want to take your lashes to the next level, use Covergirl's Super Sizer mascara as a second coat ONLY. Do not use the Super Sizer on it's own, for some reason it turns into a clumpy wet mess when you do. If you want a high end product, use Benefit They're Real. It's the only high end mascara that I've ever used and it stays put all day, and although everyone complains about it being hard to get off, I've never had a problem removing it with the Epielle makeup wiped I usually get at Big Lots or Dollar Tree. Hope this helps!

[@LilCrazy15]

Girrlll Thank you soooooo much for all your videos about oily skin and enlarged pores!!! I was doing my make up all wrong and it wasn’t staying on my face and have layers of powder and all smudged cakey face 😫 now I know how to do it better! Thank you!!! 💪

[@astridschenk8045]

"I noooooewww"

[@WindelizGohl]

Going to try the setting spray over primer hack, as well as pressing my translucent powder onto my foundation. Thank you!

[@vergo2152]

a week ago I used coconut oil on my face, omg, I'm paying for it, it broke me out so bad, and I have oily skin thinking it would help me during the day, I'm thinking maybe tea tree oil and grape seed might be the move, please beware

[@nikkiajoy]

Every skin reacts differently to every oil!! Perhaps you could try jojoba?

[@vasiliag]

same here!!it broke me out sooo badly 😣

[@Frmlygraspit]

A little Jojoba worked great for me

[@jasminexrare]

So I saw this last night , tried it this morning and let me just say I'm so thankful I found this ! I applied setting spray before my foundation , and used a damp beauty blender to set my face with powder and I noticed my face lasted longer matte , not as oily as I would normally get

[@TheDoubleGstar]

coconut oil cloges pores

[@MissKellens]

I totally followed all these steps this morning and I could tell a difference right away that my makeup was gonna have a better day today! thanks again girlfriend!

[@cindysmith1798]

In the potty (do y'all say loo?) with no blotting paper? Use a toilet seat cover! The same type of tissue paper and it's FREE! Have done this on many an occasion.

[@mollywalsh3610]

Yep, I've used it, too! It works like a charm!

[@Italianqueen1966]

Same here!! It's cheap, free, and you get a lot more for 💵!!

[@nikkiajoy]

Omg I love this tip!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!😍😍😍

[@SuperDesignChick]

Those brown paper napkins, like Starbucks also blot oil like mad without removing makeup and are free! 🍾🎈🍻

[@diana4043]

I've recently started pressing my powder on.. what a difference it makes! Also, I used to be super oily in my tzone.. but now that I'm in my 40's, that oil is no longer an issue! yay for older skin😝

[@Zaza-369]

Using oil did not trick my skin.. It made it oilier ._.

[@nikkiajoy]

+Xainab A. Sometimes it takes time. Keep at it!😘

[@kynbeo]

Xainab A. I cant use coconut oil as well, I live in a very humid country so coconut oil is just too thick 😫 i buy that oil from tarte and it works so much better, less oil after ~3months :D

[@wersokayancy]

I FINALLY found a beauty youtuber who is as oily skinned as me. Bless you omg. I'm so happy I found your channel. -Soka

[@nuriageijsel4063]

all these bitches saying omg I have an oily skin because my nose is very oily; your skin is NOT oily if it's not your whole face. it is probably combination skin type or sometimes even normal (if your nose is only oily at the end of the day). I have a very oily skin. for example: my whole face is getting oily after just 20 min. after I washed my face. Be careful with analysing your skin type, it will make a HUGE difference if you know what your real skin type is.

[@nikkiajoy]

+Nuria Geijsel my whole face is oily - my nose just more predominantly. I know my skin type very well. I also don't think it makes anyone a bitch👍🏻

[@nuriageijsel4063]

Nikkia Joy It wasn't meant for you, but for the people in this comment section. I do believe you have an oily skin, because you know quite much about taking care of your skin, make up for oily skin, etc.

[@KarissaShetler]

Hey you seem to know what your talking about, my entire t zone is always incredibly oily my forehead, nose, upper lip and chin but my cheeks are normally fine though, would you say I have oily skin? I just want to make sure I'm treating my skin correctly.

[@michellenavarrette]

Big thanks! I'm scared of the coconut oil, but excited about the eyeshadow primer trick. As some of the others have said, you are definitely my go to youtuber for oily skin advice. My trusted source. Love ya!!

[@nikkiajoy]

Thank you for your kind words ❤️❤️❤️.

[@susanecosta6091]

you remind me of Clhoe Kardashian

[@Badgalkt]

The setting spray before makeup truly does work! Whenever I do that I don't have to blot!! Also, if you use a beauty blender you can use setting spray (I use urban decay de slick oil control spray) to wet the beauty blender and it works really well! It presses the spray into your skin and combines it with your foundation so it lasts all day!! Baking also helps to keep makeup on longer and control oils!!

[@NaturalBeauty18]

I think you are just so incredibly helpful! I feel like all the big youtubers are usually have dry skin so I can't use their skin or foundation suggestions, and it is so nice to finally find someone who can help with oily skin! Finally someone I can relate to!

[@mindya185]

I've been looking for something like this video for the past hour and I HAVE FINALLY FOUND IT. This was so helpful, thank you

[@giuliadelbianco17]

hi hun! thank you for the tips, your videos on oily skin have honestly changed my life! i feel so much more confident when i apply make up now! just wondering whether you can recommend any cleansers and moisturisers that you trust ❤️

[@jenner33jeb]

Been using your trick of primer then setting spray! It HAS changed my oily mess!

[@shoresam463]

I am loving all your oily skin videos, so much that I tested out your oily skin hacks on camera and posted! They work! Thank you so much!

[@angieisbrit_ish]

I would agree that Hourglass vail primer and MAC prep + prime are both epic primers for us oily people! I also use MAC fix + after priming, but before foundation, and then again after all products are done, and then Urban Decay All Nighter to fully set, this lasts all day for my oily skin. I do like Bosnia blotting papers as well and touching up with either Laura Mercier or Maybelline Super stay Better Skin powder, both are great!

[@juliettesohilait4539]

thank u thank u thank u!!! i am an oily skin type, have been struggle with the oily face for so long now and just found your channel which is soooo helpful. love your videos and tips... can't wait for next video.. xx

[@rosanabb7484]

Hi Nikkia! have you tried the Loreal clay masks? would you recommend them for oily skin ? Which one is your favorite? Thanks!!

[@xstephstephx09]

I'm 23 and have been using Clean & Clear oil removing sheets since elementary school and it has been life-changing for my oily, acne-prone skin. If I run out during the day at work I panic! The sheets are blue and do not have the tissue paper consistency that other blotting papers do (just a preference for me) and run between $4-$7 depending on where you buy it (Rite Aid, Walmart, etc.). 👍🏻

[@crysmarie523]

I'm going to try these !! your makeup always looks flawless and matte

[@aleciaj8098]

just subscribed only watched 2 videos for oily skin so far and girl just want to say thank u!!! I love that ur not on here just trying to push products on people u are actually knowledgeable on application and have really good tips and tricks! I'm a MUA and it's always nice to watch a video and be able to learn something rather then feel like I just watched a shopping channel keep up the good work! 😘

[@hopes.2648]

Where have you been all my life?! ❤️ the struggle is real and your tips are amazing!!! 😍

[@jessiswelt7347]

Thank you so much for the hacks!!! Especially, how the foundation stays on and around the nose and the chin! I'll try it, soon.
