I grew up with skin dryer than a chalkboard, giving new meaning to the word, "ashy." I had heard people say our skin changes every 6-7 years, yet to no avail, mine was still like an old croissant, (even in my early twenties).

After my children were born, the change was slow. So subtle, in fact, that I hadn't even noticed until years later. What I did realize were what I refer to as (in order to maintain some dignity) "eruptions, " (a.k.a. zits). They seemed to take on a life of their own, polluting my face randomly like the Whack-a-Mole game at Chuck E. Cheese's.

Although I was occasionally able to treat and cover the eruptions, saying my face became oily would be an understatement. It was a total grease pit, (think top layer of an extra cheese pizza).

I talked with friends who said I needed a toner to minimize oil, so I tried everything. ProActiv, Clearasil, Hydrogen Peroxide, even face-burning rubbing alcohol just to name a few. Nothing worked. In fact, I think some of the products made my face even shinier, which I didnt think was even possible.

Alas! A friend of mine (who, by the way is 100% Greek and suffered from shiny-face as well) told me about Grease Relief Tonic by Ole Henriksen. Within 3 days of using this fantastic product, my skin began to look and feel vibrant. No shine, no stripping, no burning, and no more random eruptions! And it evened-out my skintone as well.

If your face is begging to be de-shined, Grease Relief Tonic is a must for you.
