I normally have very dry skin, so I use moisturisers and various other skin creams to stop it from drying out, as well as supplements like flax seed and zinc. However, my skin now gets very oily. Even after I wipe it clean, it gets oily again within a couple of hrs. What kind of remedies are available?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Normal soaps are comodogenic and can actually overdry the skin, promoting excess oil production.
All I know is, this worked for me - I eliminated, almost entirely, the following;
touching my face
stress
wheat/gluten products
dairy products
sugars
I increased whole grain foods, veggies, fruits, etc, worked out like a mofo 3 days a week, and had 2 showers a day instead of one. Now for someone that went from having quite bad acne and ridiculously greasy skin to being completely clear and much less greasy skin, it was amazing. You obviously wouldnt/shouldn't have to do all of that though...
Also you can use these rice paper sheets - they don't irritate the skin and you can dab your face etc with them as needed.

Ripped,
Let ask you this... Once in a while, I break out like there's no tomorrow. This last time, I think it was from me changoing my workout routine. Which stimulated whatever hormone in my body, causing the break out. Think that's right?
A friend told me he thought I might have an alergy. Maybe some food I ate or some sort of additive. Any thoughts on that?
This time it has seemed to start clearing up with extra face washing...

Changing your workout routine theoretically *shouldnt* have done it... but some would say that if you went from a very light routine to an intense mass building one, the resulting increase in testosterone production could therefore have that effect... but I dunno... im no expert 
.
If it is diet based then its not an allergy as such, but certain foods could have that effect. For example - for the few days around christmas all I ate was **** - and in the following days I noticed more breakouts when I was previously getting none... clearly voiding what 99% of uninformed dermatologists think (that diet has zilch to do with oily skin/acne).
Acne and oily skin (overactive sebacious glands) are absolute ****s of things to get. Its not like any other disease which can usually be treated easily, and that wont change anytime soon.
Some people can get away with just using topicals, some need accutaine, and some are lucky enough to have a complete hormonal balance and have perfect skin.
My advice is to go to the acne board at www.healthboards.com. The general consensus there is that too much insulin (as gotten from foods with excess simple sugars) results in oily skin, and that diet is the major player in acne. People there can give advice more relevant to YOUR skin as opposed to a stupid supposed "cures all" remedy.
cheers

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
As for oily skin specifically, try vitamin b5 (pantothenic acid). A lot of people have said this completely fixed the problem with no side effects. However it can be costly because the reccomended dose it 10 grams (yes 10 grams) a day initially. But apparently it works a charm.
