ok so i have really oily skin but sometimes it gets like dry in other places.... are there any good lotions or face creams to make my face clear without being oily or dry?? thanks!
LM answered Wednesday June 25 2008, 1:28 am: Classic case of combination skin. You're totally normal. Try my routine (or something similar)
1. Wash entire face, obviously avoiding eyes haha, with a gentle acne control cleanser. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash (or store-brand equivalent) is absolutely amazing.
2. Apply moisturizer to your entire face, in a very thin layer. It sounds weird moisturizing an oily area, but if you give your skin some moisture, it'll be less likely to produce more oil to compensate, makes sense? Apply extra lotion to dry areas, though. Obviously those parts need it more. For me, this is my jaw and cheek area. There's so many lotions out there to choose from. Pick one you like the smell of, and if you have a certain condtion like excema, use one that won't irritate your skin. Clean and Clear (or again, a store-brand) is relatively inexpensive and lasts a long time.
3. If your skin still seems oily, use an astringent like Sea Breeze or Clean and Clear on those areas only.
Do this one or twice a day. You'll figure out on your own what's best for your skin. Keep in mind that washing too much actually makes oily skin worse, and dry areas flake even more.
