Steal vs. Splurge For Oily Skin.

By Jen Adkins, About.com

If you have oily skin, you know what a bear it can be to find the right skin care products that will control shine and combat acne. Here is a skin care regime in the "splurge" range and the "steal" range so you can take care of your skin the right way, no matter your budget.

This gentle, yet effective cream turns to a rich foam when applied to your damp skin. Your skin is left noticeably smooth and soft, and your excess oil is effectively controlled. Use morning and night for best oil-reducing results.

Cetaphil, often recommended when you visit the dermatologist, makes this great gentle cleanser perfect for oily skin that will not dry out your face.

Ranked high in reviews, the main downfall was the fragrance of the cleanser. Many women feel that this has improved the clarity of their skin, and priced under $10, it's worth a try.

Splurge Toner - Wei East: Silk Spirit Clarifying Toner

This clarifying toner is made for sensitive skin, so chances are good it won’t make your skin break out even further. With a spray bottle, spritz on face and wipe off with a cotton ball. Another way to use spray toners is to spritz directly on the cotton ball and wipe on your face.

You can also refresh your face by spraying this on your face and and leaving it on for added moisture.

Save Toner - Boots: Botanics Complexion Refining Toner

This toner uses antioxidant rich rosemary extract to remove excess oil and Amazonian clay to ensure a long lasting matte finish. A perfect combination for those with oily skin. This is a great quality product at a really reasonable price.

Boots products are very popular in the UK and are slowly making way in the US. You can find a large selection of them at Target.
