It also makes the skin very sensitive to sunlight. I wouldn't recommend this as it's highly acidic and can cause skin problems. Some people use lemon juice to lighten age spots. Neutrogena also have a great anti-ageing hand cream that contains active soy, which is also thought to reduce age spots. I've been using Clinique's Dark Spot Corrector for a couple of weeks now and they definitely seem to be fading. Skinceutical's Retinol creams are getting rave reviews at the moment, although I haven't tried them yet. They work by slowing the production of melanin (age spots are basically extra production of melanin) and promoting cell regeneration. Creams containing Retinol (vitamin a) can help. Lisa says: I also have an age spot on my hand! It popped up a couple of years ago, along with two friends on my face. "Is there anything at all that actually works on making age spots on hands less obvious?"

Bobbi Brown have some great mini blot papers that you can carry around in your bag. I use it to remove any excess grease before applying primer and foundation, and then again, if needed, after powder. I also find blotting paper works really well. Heavy powders can build up and clog on oily skin.
Again, I would recommend a light blot powder for your T Zone.

Have you tried using an oil free primer or mattifying lotion under your base? Smashbox Photo Finish Light or Boots No 7 Shine Free Make Up Base, are both great oil free primers. Lisa says: I find Clinique's Superbalanced Foundation is actually one of the best for combination skin. "Even though I am 52 I still have oily skin on my T Zone, I do use powder- Clinique Stay Matte- but wonder if there is an alternative? I use Clinique's Superbalanced Foundation but am thinking of changing this. Avoid loose powder applied with a powder puff, it tends to sit in fine lines and can create a 'chalky' effect on mature skin. Always use powder sparingly especially around your eyes. If you apply with a large powder brush and just lightly sweep across your face it should be enough to set your base without emphasising fine lines. When I'm working on mature skin I always use a light textured compact powder- Laura Mercier's Translucent Pressed Setting Powder or MAC's Blot Powder are both great. However, using completely oil-free products and then topping it off with this Blot Powder tends to make my skin ever so slightly stretchy and tight during winter, but then this is my personal view and this may work wonders for many people throughout the year.Lisa says: You do need to use powder to set your base, but only a touch.

I also use this MAC Blot Powder during winter whenever I am using a creamy kind of foundation as a base, and it works very well. As far as cosmetics are concerned, I obviously opt for oil-free foundations or matte-effect ones, which I generally use mainly during the winter, and in summer, I opt for powder-foundations or compact-foundations, topped with a layer of the powder under review today…MAC Blot Powder. So I have slowly learnt to respect my skin for what it is (err….oily…of course!), and rather than keep mumbling and grumbling about it, find ways to control the oil, rather than strip the skin of its natural oily layer, and according have learnt to use skincare products and cosmetics meant to control the oil, while of course, keeping the skin minimally hydrated at the same time….I mean this as far as skincare products are concerned. Also, oily skin is supposed to always have this ‘protective’ layer on it at all times, which helps somewhat in protecting the skin from external aggressors such as harsh sunlight, cold winds and pollution. I have been told repeatedly by beauticians and dermatologists that I should consider myself lucky to have had oily skin my entire life and even now, well into my 40s, as that helps to keep the wrinkles at bay, or rather, delay them for some time at least. Being an oily-skinner has its advantages and disadvantages.
