What make-up is good for oily skin and what products are good for spots and oily skin ?

I have very oily skin and have to re-apply my make-up every 2-3 hours as it gets so bad. As i apply it so often i break out in spots really badly so i would like to know any suggestions of good products to help oily skin and spots and also make-up which lasts longer than 2-3 hours.

Waterproof mascara is great!, i like Maybellines great lash range, it stays on all day. For foundation try Revlon Colourstay Mineral foundation, it works amazing and is great for oily/pimple prone skin, as mineral makeups don't irritate the skin. It also stays on for a very long time, it's supposed to last for up to 8 hours. Also try using a primer or moisturiser before applying foundation. This allows the foundation to spread on easily and stay on the skin for longer. For covering spots try a good concealer like Maybelline Pure concealer. It's really light and won't clog pores.

I hope i've helped :]

The skin is the outer reflection of your inner health. Moist, clear, glowing skin is a sign of good diet, while dry, pale, scaly or oily skin results when diet is not up to normal. The condition of your skin is determined by several factors, both internal and external. Of these, the state of your internal health is probably the most important.

Factors Affecting Your Skin

Although your skin type is basically constant throughout your life, some lifestyle choices and environmental factors can affect how your skin behaves.

1. Sleep. Get 7-8 hours a night. Benefit: Your skin renews itself by building new cells while you sleep.

2. Vitamin C. Eat vitamin C-rich foods and take a supplement for extra insurance. Benefit: Vitamin C is a potent free-radical scavenger that's known for its corrective and preventative benefits for sun- and environmentally-damaged skin.

3. Water. Drink 6-8 glasses of filtered water per day. Benefit: improved circulation and accelerated cell growth.

4. Exercise. Regularly. Benefit: moving around helps revive circulation and speeds blood flow to the surface of your skin. Stress. Relax your mind by exercising your body. Especially unclench your facial muscles. Benefit: Relieving stress can mean avoiding blemishes, hives, colour loss and under-eye circles. One more thing – your mother was right: Habitually tense facial expressions can create permanent lines.

5. The "no-no's." Avoid them. Your skin hates alcohol, tobacco and caffeine, and will show you by losing moisture or forming wrinkles that make you look older sooner. Avoid the no-no's and get this benefit: You'll look younger longer. (Be aware that some medications can make skin more sensitive.)

6. Natural aging. As we age our skin becomes drier and loses elasticity, which can cause wrinkles and fine lines. How to manage: Use a specially formulated age-defying moisturizer at night to nourish and renew your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

7. Sun is the most damaging of all environmental factors. Continued exposure damages and wrinkles your skin. Sun exposure is also a major cause of skin cancer. How to manage: Avoid long exposure and use a facial moisturizer with sunscreen – every day. At night use a renewal moisturizer to repair damage.

8. Low/high humidity. Low humidity robs your skin of essential moisture, while high humidity can make skin feel oily. How to manage: Nourish your skin with a good moisturizer to fight low humidity. In high humidity, that oily feeling isn't moisture – you still need a moisturizer that will help protect skin from dryness.

9. Extreme temperatures. Both cold and hot temperatures with low humidity deplete moisture from your skin and leave it tight and dry. How to manage: Nourish skin with a good moisturizer. Another hint: Use lukewarm, not hot or cold water to rinse your face.

10. Wind. Strong wind, especially with extreme temperatures and low humidity, can cause dry, flaky skin. How to manage: Re-hydrate with a good moisturizer.

11. Air pollution. Windborne dust, dirt, and smog can clog pores and choke your skin. How to manage: Protect your skin with a good moisturizer that forms a "barrier" between you and that nasty stuff floating around you. Carefully cleanse and condition every night.
