Oily Skin - why?

My skin gets very, very oily, especially my face. It gets the worst
during and after eating a meal. I've noticed that certain foods make
it worse than others. Usually the healthier the food, the better it
is. For example; veggies, fruits, deli meat and water don't result in
oily skin. However, pretty much anything else makes my face very
oily. One thing that I found interesting is that regular chewing gum
and breath mints make my face extremely oily, but sugar-free gum and
breath mints don't make my face oily at all. I also found if I don't
put sugar on my bowl of cereal in the morning then my face doesn't get
oily. Could sugar have something to do with why my face gets so oily?
If it's relevant, I am a 24yr old Caucasian male. Thanks.

That is interesting. What type of skin care do you use? Do you use a
moisturizer? Most of the time oily skin is overcompensting for lack of
moisture. You need to be using a cleanser, scrub, toner and an oil free
moisturizer every day. I am a consultant for a skin care company. I
have a simpple test that can help you to find out which products a best
for your skin. Email me if you want more info.
