I used to have extremely oily skin. I would wake up with a shiny face and despite my efforts to wash and dry it out, I would end the day with an even shinier face. As a result, I had annoying acne around my T-zone.
I recently started using moisturizer in the morning before I put on makeup which really helps. And then I stumbled across something that I bought a few months ago, but never tried. Burt's Bees Pore Refining Mask!
I can't explain how much this has done for my skin! It's made from natural materials, and the main ingredient is French Green Clay which draws out impurities and extra sebum from your pores. After just a week of using it, I noticed that my skin stopped breaking out. It's been three weeks, and my skin has NEVER been this stable, ever. 
It comes in a little container as powder so it'll take some time to get the consistency right, but it's worth it because there are no preservatives added to keep the clay fresh and you can substitute any type of liquid (green tea, etc) for water. |

I found this store locator on the link goes by zip and will list the phone numbers so you can check if they carry it or not.

When you wash it off, your face will look a little red, but that's just a result of the increased blood circulation in your face.
I used to have really oily skin with acne so I used it everyday for a week and it controlled it amazingly well. Now I don't have big breakouts anymore and my face honestly does not produce any extra oil. It's incredible
However, I read that if you use it too often, it can really dry out your skin which can backfire on you (your skin will produce more oil to compensate), so now I'm only using it once a week.
It's also great for those days when you forget to take off your makeup and you feel icky  This gets all the gunk right off (after you use a cleanser of course)! |

Hi fairy_dreams, Thanks for sharing.
I would like to try the mask. However, I couldn't find it in their site. Is it discontinued or they just don't have it in stock? TIA |

| The first time I used this mask, my skin did feel refreshed, but I don't get the same results each time I use it. But it's messy and hard to get over your entire face. The green clay gets all over during the mixing process and is a pain to clean up. |

| i think it's way cheaper to just buy french green clay or kaolin clay from DIY skincare stores like gardenofwisdom. and it works equally well! |
