Oily Skin after Gallbladder Surgery

Hi - I had my gallbladder removed 10 days ago, and since, my face is exceptionally oily. I mean, washing three times a day and using astringent isn't soaking up all the oil, and I've started to break out, which I haven't done in years. Does anyone have any experience / advice / knowledge about this?? I have to go back to work tomorrow, and I don't know how to keep my makeup from sliding off my face! thanks.

Thanks - I'm going to try one of the masks and get some blotting papers.

I posted here because it started AFTER my gallbladder surgery, which is wierd. My husband wonders if it's a result of the surgery or the anesthesia?

thanks again!

I wish I knew what to tell you, but I really don't have any idea.

Hi - just an update - back at work and while my skin is pretty oily still, I'm dealing with it! :) thanks for answering.
