My guess is you might be having an allergic reaction to one of the products you are using on your skin, or perhaps the concealer contains medication to help clear your skin and you are using it too much. If your skin is oily, you probably don't need a moisturizer. A brand that comes to mind that is hypoallergenic is Almay, you can buy cleanser, toner and foundation in that brand. Before you switch to new products don't use anything for several days but plain water, allow your skin to rest and recover from the reaction.

It sounds like you have dry skin..

If you DO have dry skin, baby oil is a great cleanser. Gently massage it over your face before tissuing off thoroughly. Removes all make up, including waterproof mascara. Johnsons baby oil is wonderful. After you have had a bath slightly pat your skin dry and using a face cloth rub some baby oil on. It really does work, only do this if your skin itsn't too oily to begin with.

Good luck!

Here's what i would do.

When you wake up take a wash cloth and use some gentle cleansing wash that's either soap free or use oil free wash. I use the soap free stuff! it works good.
Then i would use some shinefree poweder hmm i think i got it from maybelline... yea it's called shine free and it's from maybelline lol.
A reason you could have a really oily face is you might be out in the sun too long or you just have that type of skin...that's they way mine is. But then afterwards put the rest of ur make-up on so it looks natural looking.

then at night wash it off. if you leave make-up on over night it clogs up pores which can cause blackheads...zits form usually because of stress. But use the same scrub in the morning or use a nightly facial for olay that's what i use also. It works really well and it also helps prevent blackheads, oily skin, and zits. If you have any more questions just ask me i'd be glad to help!

Hope it works out for ya!!

Here are some steps to take, which can restore moisture to your skin:

1. In the morning, just splash cool water or use a moisturizing toner and apply moisturizer. Because cleansers can strip away sebum and natural moisturizing factors from your skin, washing at night gives your skin time to replenish itself, before you need to face outside elements, such as wind, cold, and sunlight. Morning scrubs don't give your dry skin time to recover its defenses before you go outside.

2. Washcloths can further irritate your skin, so you should avoid using them. When drying off, pat your skin, rubbing can irritate dry skin.

3. Avoid using astringents and clarifying lotions on your face
These products contain alcohol and can irritate dry skin.

4. Saunas and steam baths can make you sweat, and sweat can leach out natural moisturizing factors in your skin, leaving your skin drier than it was before. so avoid those.

5. Use nuetralizing powders to reduce the oil. Clean & Clear blue face powder absorbs excess oil and works really well, but don't worry ir blends with your skin you will not look blue at all.

good luck =]
