I came to this site for advice about a man and love. That very question turned my entire world around and I have had my eyes opened to things I never noticed before.
I've stayed here so that I can share the knowledge I do have. I know I'm not changing the world but I do hope that I spark others to open their eyes.

So, if you learn something from what I say then repeat it to someone else who can use it.
I hope that if you see an answer of mine that you enjoy it will inspire you to go out of your way to give good, solid information. Provide links for further information, detail your responses, encourage people to seek out professionals when it's needed, and stop sugar-coating responses and just say the truth.
I hope that even if you absolutely hate my answer that it'll kick start your brain. Hopefully you'll begin taking your time to respond instead of hurried answers that are useless to an already confused person.

I have this red nose that I cannot get rid of lately. At times it looks flaky or as if its peeling a bit so I use lotion and tried green concealer with foundation on top to hide it. Whenever I try to cover it up the make-up just looks as if its caked on even if I use just a little or a lot. This only happens on my nose. I think the problem could be that I have dry skin and am using the wrong product?? I always look for the moisturized products anyhow, but what do you think? Please Help! Thanks! (link)

Invest in a little bottle of pure jojoba oil or sweet almond oil. Take just a couple of drops in your hands, rub them together, and then moisturize your face with the oil on your hands.
I had this terrible dry skin on my chin that would NOT go away no matter what. I swear, I battled it for at least a year and a half and it was so ugly because my skin kept doing that nasty flakey thing. I read about how to moisturize the face and I found a lot of information. More than moisturizing you should clean the face properly to prevent over-drying and to help keep the pores unclogged inside. I wrote some about that technique here:

Now I don't even need to moisturize every single day to keep flakes away and my skin happy. I guess I re-balanced it some how doing that technique. But, still, when I feel dry if I take some sweet almond oil (here is the link I bought it from):

It fixes the problem right up. You can't tell I put any sort of oil on my face.
Sweet almond oil is a little "heavier" than jojoba oil. So, sweet almond oil is for if you have really dry skin. Jojoba oil might be a better choice for you if you are just having a little dryness. I recommend:
