Got an oily nose? For those of us with that problematic T-zone, it can be harder to handle in the winter, when the rest of your face is dry. To deal with excessive grease in the chin, nose and forehead area, try using an alcohol-free toner in those problem areas, followed by the application of a good moisturizer to the whole face. The type of moisturizer to use should be one that is in lotion form, since it’s lighter than a cream, and is absolutely oil-free. Also, it’s probably best to avoid washing your face more than twice a day, because it will dry out the already dry parts and irritate the oily parts, triggering more oil production.

Keeping a supply of blotting paper (with powder) and/or applying a mineral based powder that doesn’t clog pores can also help.
