My face gets really, Really, REALLY oily. By the end of any normal day my face is so oily that the oil literally gets around my eyelids and burns my eyes. By the next morning, I am a mess. My face and hair look like other people who haven't showered for weeks. The rest of my skin is abnormally dry. What can I say?
Normally, I rinse my face several times a day, just to keep the eye burning at bay. But this uses water.
Naturally, I am looking for a way to stay clean and comfortable while using the least water possible.
I have been experimenting with face cleansing wipes from the makeup aisle, but they don't really seem to cut it. I have used Noxema and Strident pads and they really remove the oil, but I can't use them on my eyes, which is the most important part. Plus, the oil seems to come back just that much faster. I have tried simply using a damp, microfiber cloth. That helps a little but I have to do it almost twice an hour. Sometimes, I just take one of those plain, recycled napkins from fast food places and wipe the oil from my face. Yeah, that napkin is a fire hazard after that.
All the time that I have lived in my car/RV before has been urban boondocking. So, I had access to a shower every day. But now I'm preparing for living on the road full time and this face-oil thing is one of my biggest concerns. Does anyone have any ideas for me? Any products that have worked for you?
Thank you so much,
CC
