Let me tell you a little story. Once upon a time there was a girl with very oily skin. She tried cleaning it with what was supposed to be a pure soap. (Remember the one that floats?) Then for a skin care toner, she used what her grandma used for <strong>everything<\/strong>, peroxide.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bethheilman.com\/greatskinforlife\/files\/2011\/11\/oily_skin_toner01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-200\" height=\"188\" src=\"http:\/\/bethheilman.com\/greatskinforlife\/files\/2011\/11\/oily_skin_toner01.jpg\" title=\"oily_skin_toner01\" width=\"255\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She really didn&#39;t care, &quot;Skin toner&quot;, she said, &quot;who needs it? This stuff works just fine.&quot; As time passed, she noticed that her skin was just as oily. In fact, it was even <strong>more oily<\/strong> than before. The only thing she had to show for her efforts was a <strong>big blond streak<\/strong> running the length of her very dark hair.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We&#39;re not talking about Elvira, Mistress of the Dark here, guys. That was me. Trying to save a couple of pennies, I made myself look like a skunk. A skunk with really oily skin.<\/p>\n<p>But, it didn&#39;t end there.<\/p>\n<p>Still trying to fix the problem, I found some skin care toners for oily skin at the department store. Telling the person at the counter that I have <strong>really<\/strong> oily skin, she recommended one of those national brands I&#39;m sure you&#39;re familiar with. (won&#39;t drop names here, but it starts with a &quot;C&quot;).<\/p>\n<p>Two words come to mind when I think of that experience, and neither one is pleasant, burn and sting. Just the fumes from that stuff made my eyes water. Until it dried, breathing wasn&#39;t an option either. Those fumes again. The lady at the counter told me it would take a few days, then I&#39;d get used to it.<\/p>\n<p>Please, I could have put that stuff in my gas tank and my car would have run for a week.<\/p>\n<p>This story is to save you the same fate. You don&#39;t need to torture your skin to control the oil. Here&#39;s an oily skin tip, look for an oily skin toner that contains ingredients that are good for your skin. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatskinforlife.com\/5_panthenol.html%20class=\">Pro-Vitamin B5 <\/a>is wonderful for your skin and so is salicylic acid.<\/p>\n<p>Please, don&#39;t worry about the &quot;acid&quot; in salicylic acid. It&#39;s fabulous for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It helps remove the dry, dead layer of surface skin without being harsh. Try it, you&#39;ll like it.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, this story has a happy ending. After some searching and finding an oily skin toner that was &quot;just right&quot;, the girl who no longer looks like an oily skunk lives happily ever after.
