Ok i have weird skin..It's really oil when it's hot or my skin feels "clogged" but then i have flakes in some places below my nose and near my eyebrows. I recently started changing the medication i've been using to see if it would get rid of my zits and help my skin. Here is my face-cleansing schedule: First, I wash my face with this heat phisoderm..and then I apply Vaseline (body moisterizer), then I apply Zapzyt...I haven't really noticed anything..Any advice to what I should do??
*I just started trying these new medications like 3 days ago..

Daisy answered Sunday May 8 2005, 1:21 pm: Don't use the Vaseline as it's for the body and not for your face. I had problem skin and I went to a beauty salon and just asked them to look at my face for free and ask them what I was doing wrong. I went and told them my daily regime and they told me what I was doing wrong and gave me free samples to try. Hope I have helped a little [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]
Loli-chan-Shara answered Sunday May 8 2005, 11:50 am: I would use a strong facial cleaner on the problem places only and get a good SPF 50 sunscreen, The sun can dry out skin. Sea&Ski is really good, it is water proof, and has Astaxanthin. I have really oily skin usually and dry places. Astaxanthin is a good moisturizer and it is in the Sea&Ski sunblock, it doesn't make the oily places MORE oily but the dry places are moisturized. I love it ^^ And don't change medications alot... If you are using Something with benzoyl peroxide in it, it will make your skina littel worse before it gets better... For acne I use those alchohol wipes... and only on the seperate spots... Sorry this was dragging on some... [ Loli-chan-Shara's advice column | Ask Loli-chan-Shara A Question ]
okimreallydumb answered Sunday May 8 2005, 1:48 am: I agree with them ^ I'd say just wait about a week or so and see if it is helping any but most acne treatments will dry your skin out so you might look into some kind of moisturing face lotion that wouldnt make u break out.
