I have noticed that my face is alot more oily now that I am losing weight?  I am wondering if maybe it goes hand in hand. Did your skin type change as you lost?

I haven't noticed my skin oilier, if anything it is less oiley, but of course it is looser now, that's the only big change, and that is only in my upper arms and belly.

Hey Chickadee!  Hang on to your oil sheets lol.  Mine for worse and then it cleared up.  It could be that I work in fast food and actually starting caring... but it does get better. Your face will be naturally glowing sans oil in no time!!!!!!!!

The more things the change, the more they're still the same.

I had the same problem.  I used to never get zits or have oil problems but once I started losing weight I have had zits occasionally and my skin is noticeably more oily.  I don't know if it ever goes away, but I sure hope so.  Until then I use the oil sheets Reese mentioned and a good face scrub.

It's all the fat fat fattie food you've eaten over your life that's now pushing through your pores!!!  Each french fry consumed = 1 pimple post-op. Ok just kidding.  Actually from what I've heard about oily skin and acne when losing weight is more due to your physical activity... not the losing the weight itself.  It's mostly related to hormone fluxes... more so with women.  You know how super super athletic woman often stop menstration and start generating more testosterone in the overies and adrenal glands?  The increase of testosterone, which is used to synthesize proteins and build muscle/bones, kicks off an almost adolecent stage in your body again when you start developing acne and your skin is generating more oil and sebum.  After awhile if you maintain the habits of working out, your body chemistry will start to correct itself.  Keep your water and electrolytes intake up.  This will help.  It'll also give you the sweat you need to keep the oil and bacteria from collecting on your skin.  I wouldn't worry about it yet, to the point of seeking a dermitologist, it's likely to get better by maintain your weight loss/physical activity regime.  Side effects also include new and thicker hair growth and fun new body odors.   You're probably not working out that much to cause such things but sometimes the suttle change in your hormone levels might make your skin a bit more oily... just give it time.
