have you ever had a facial? I get one a month from Merle Norman...it's $60 bucks for the monthly plan and it has helped me tremendously. my esthetician is working now for my wedding in November and there are a variety of treatment options from mircodermabrasion to deep pore cleansing. I also am able to maintain my skin without expensive products now I only use African Black Soap (which is WONDERFUL for oily skin) and a light moisturizer with sunscreen and lots of water. not only is my skin tone more smooth and even it has also helped with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Everyday or special occasions? My everyday one is smashbox photo finish primer. They have a few different options so have them give you samples before you commit. For special occasions, here's a old trick from my pageant days...milk of magnesia. Just make sure you take the time to rub it in so you won't have the chalky effect. I also wear it at parties and bars and my makeup stays without the greasy look. I hope this works for you. .

Revlon colorstay is great for oily skin. It's a liquid. I have been using a cream to powder from Mary Kay that is pretty good also. I have extremely oily skin also. The Merle Norman near me does free facials once a month.

I have extremely oily skin. I am starting to look into facials too. Has anyone tried microdermabrasion?

Me too! Y'all have me googling microdermabrasion and facials. FI and I really want one before the wedding but I'm scared of how it may turn out. I've never had a facial and there are so many options! How many days before the wedding should you get it done?

If you haven't had one done before I'd suggest at least 1 month beforehand to make sure all is well. But if you get a good esthetician she/he will go over all aspects of your skin and concerns to make sure you don't get break outs/etc. I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin...(like everything breaks me out) but I haven't had a negative reaction to a facial yet.

But if you feel like waiting til closer to your wedding I recommend getting one about 5-7 days before. When I first get mine done it doesn't start to "settle in" until about the 4th day then by the 7th...the skin looks real good (takes a while for the new skin to turn over or something like that).

I think everyone should try it...like I mentioned it may be more costly in the beginning but it has completely eliminated my need to buy expensive face products now...so I'm happy!
