Ok, about the oily face. Have you tried Clinique's 3 step system? They have 4 numbers for each skin type. 1 is for really dry skin, 2 is for dry/combination, 3 is for combination/oily, and 4 is for extremeley oily. I'd honestly say try step 3 first, because this stuff is good, and it costs about 40 bucks for the supply, which lasts for months. It's really great stuff, I highly recommend it. For your underarms, I know they do botox in the underarms, but I've never really known anyone that's done it, and it's probably expensive. If your deoderant isn't holding up, have you tried prescription strength deoderant? I've never had that problem, but I know people who have, and I know it can be fixed! I hope I helped you somewhat, but if not, just tell me! :)

Thank you heaps for you help :)
The problem is I live in tasmania and I'm not sure they sell that face stuff here :(
But about the over sweating I might ask my doctor see if she can help me...
Thanks you very much xx

Hi, I have had the same problem with over sweating it's horrible so embarrassing!

I think you have something called hyperhydrosis, you can get some medicine from the chemist called Androhyl it's a deodrant and you put it on before you go to bed and then wask it off in the morning and you don't sweat at all for 3 months! It's a miracle!

This is in the UK though you might not be able to get it there but ask your doctor they might have something similar.

Hope this helps :) x

Its because you wash your face too much or use some products that dry your skin out that's why your skin gets oily very easy it protects itself from the damage (from being dry) the same thing with hair if you wash it too much it gets greasy. So if you will use face cream instead of washing your skin your skin will react different way and it will stop being oily. OK see you
