what can you do for dry oily skin on your face?

Question

i have read in magazines to use lotion for dry skin, and for oily skin to use less lotion. the more lotion i use the more oily my face gets, but even if i use none it gets oily. i have looked in drug stores and i have seen products for oily skin but i dont know what to use and some say something like semi-drying and im assuming it means it dries out your skin a little which i dont need more of. ponds moistuizing cream stuff seems to work good if i use it at night but that leaves my face oily till i wash it so i wont use it if im going out, and either way, my face will still get oily.
can someone please help me? i would like to solve my problem but i dont know how.

Answer 1

Try Ester-C Super-C Cleanser gentle face wash by Jason it removes makeup, excess surface oil and dirt without drying good for all skin types. Most often found online or at health markets. Price seems a bit high but well worth it. Certified Organic and a little goes a long way.

Answer 2

I have always had clear skin, but that doesn't mean i don't go though some things. Such as I have to keep my hair out of my face, because the oils and other things can cause my forehead or the sides of my face to break out. But here's what I do, at night I use a very drying soap like ivory. Followed by a water based lotion, such as landers. In the morning, I wash my face with a moisturising soap such as oil of olay or dove, then follow with a very good alphahydrozy lotion,such as palmers coca butter for dry ashy skin. That way at night you have washed away all the oils and allowing your facial skin to rest, and in the morning its a clean canvas. And you should really only use ponds for removing makeup, and afterwards wash your face with the drying soap.

All the best

Are you using a toner? Get an alcohol-free toner and use it every time you wet or wash your face. Cleansing is pretty superficial compared to what toner will do for your skin. It deep cleans away dirt, makeup and even cleanser residue from your pores, but most importantly it resets your skins ph balance. A Toner hydrates tissues for proper cell function. Skin can be oil dry and/or moisture dry and the moisture content is more crucial to skin health. A toner is a very nourishing form of moisture that even a moisturizer cannot provide. Not too dry, not too wet. It can take your skin up to 30 minutes to rebalance itself (ph balance) after cleansing without using a toner ~ oily skins keep pumping out oil on top of dehydrated skin and dry skins stop producing oil on top of dehydrated skin. Also, the environment is constantly robbing your skin of hydration, so I also strongly recommend spritzing a few times a day! Ps. Go Organic and Natural! (with all your skin care products!)

Dry skin always so irritating...I hate it so much...I suggest you try using Zenmend Derma Lotion from Zenmed or Autopalm from Skinstore.com.

Zenmed has no side effects and it's non-irritant to the
skin. It's proven to works fast and it povides Maximum
results! It's certainly a good lotion to prevent further
outbreaks.

Another product that I think is effective is Atopalm. This dry skin mlm is one of the best seller at skinstore.com now. (Skinstore.com holds more than 10,000 skin care products) It's pretty effective, and worth the dollar paid out.

What products are you using? My skin tends to get oily. I use Neutragena (sp?) or Olay cleanser. Olay has a lot of good facial lotions that do not make your face oily.
