grease!

Post by catbirdgirl » Tue Sep 25, 2007 7:46 am

I wake up with a VERY greasy and oily face in the AM. this started when I started CPAP. I thought it might be the humidifier, but I turned it down today and I'm still an oil slick on awakening. and full of ZITS.

Well, since no one else is going to say it I guess I will stick my neck out. Could it be that you are full of it and the pressure of the CPAP is pushing it out through your pores in your skin.

Seriously, I have no idea. Sorry!

Your not alone! I also have the same problem. I can start out the evening washing my face and having a good seal on my mask. Four hours later, my mask blows out under the pressure and when I feel my face, it is very oily. Hopefully someone will know about this.

Could this be from getting more sleep and oxygen into your system. Kind of like the post of the guys who were becoming more hairy now that they are being treated? Just a thought.
