I have really wacky skin! I am 26 years old but I am breaking out more now then in high school! I've read up on skin care and it always has categories for what type of skin you have and one of those is an oily t-zone. My skin is the complete opposite! My T-zone is dry and the rest of my face is oily! I just want to have a nice complexion without having to wear alot of foundation! I drink water, use acne cream and masks and hydration cream. I wear sunscreen and I don't smoke and I avoid the sun. What else is a girl to do? I'm also fair skinned and hate my reddish pink undertones! Help! Oh yeah and I wash my make up off with expensive facial cleaner (Philosiphy's purity) every night and I've also went 2 weeks with no makeup and it still did not help.I also take a mulit vitamin and eat romaine lettuce....

I have sensitive skin problems too. Now I use the Pure Olive Oil products from Japan to moisture and protect my skin from UV rays. my skin condition is in very much better condition now.
Email to following website for FREE OLIVE OIL SAMPLES and their recommendation. The staff is very prompt and helpful too.

It seems to me that you are using too many products on your face. There are probably some hormonal changes going on and naturally, you want to address these issues.
Sometimes acne creams can be harsh, although they are made to target acne. Perhaps you should try using a mild cleanser that is botanically based along with an oil control product. I can recommend 4 products from Arbonne that may help you. For the face, use the cleansing gel followed by the personalizer (oil & redness control) followed by the skin conditioning oil. For the possible hormone imbalances, you can use either of Arbonne's balancing creams: Prolief or Phytoprolief. You can find them here... http://NuGenerationEntrepreneurs.myarbonne.com
If you have any questions, email me. These are just suggested products that may help you. Naturally, you would want to consult a doctor about the condition of your skin and let them advise you. However, many of us have found that doctors don't always have the best solutions or solutions that work because everyone is different. So, in the event you try other methods that don't work, I gave you my suggestion. The products are really good and they do work.
With love,
NGE

The first thing your probably not going to like... Throw that expensive cream away. You are damaging your skin. The reason why your skin is becoming more oily as you get older is because of Over Exfoliation. When you exfoliate your skin, you force New cells to grow. If you remove too many healthy skin cells you become an oil slick.
The best advice I can give is to tell you to save that money and go see a Clinique skin care Specialist. Dont worry, Its Free!!
They will help your skin.I know, I have been teaching proper skin care for 3 years now. I promise you will see results. Give your skin two weeks to adjust to any new routine. Make sure you go to some one who is experienced! Dont let an amature misslead you, and, Have fun with it. (just a thought, you dont sound like you really need acne products, they can have an adverse effect on skin that doesnt need it, stay clear from the acne line)

Def see the doc....s/he will be able to rule out hormonal imbalances. In the mean time, skip the hydration cream and keep skin clean. Keep your hands off of your face, as well as the phone (this spreads the bacteria and can cause breakouts). In the interim, I suggest Bare Escentuals make-up. I too am pale with very pink undertones that I have always hated. This make-up is all mineral so it is great for your skin, and it covers flawlessly. It will completely even out the redness and give you a beautiful tone without looking "cakey". Good luck!

Eat calves liver medium rare once week for a few months and let me know how great it worked out. Also belly up to the salad bar and munch down a bunch of dark green leafy veggies regularly and eat 1-3 pieces of fruit daily. The liver is very high in A B and zinc all very important to the skin and the vitamins in food can be absorbed into the body unlike vitamin pills..

I agree with the first response you received. My skin has always been flawless, but since I've turned 31, I've started to get odd breakouts. I went to the doctor and was told that I have an abundance of estrogen which can cause many symptoms, skin problems being only one of them.
The pill was an additional problem with me. The pill can be awesome for clearing up skin, but if you've got a bit too much estrogen, the pill can totally backfire, causing you all sorts of problems.

follow a routine such as: morning: cleanse moisturise (with spf15 or above moisturiser) evening: remove makeup with a baby wipe (won't irritate) treat problems moisturise remember to look for moisturisers that are 'non comedogenic' or 'non acnegenic' as these ones won't block pores, causing skin problems. i'd recommend the Neutrogena Ultimate Moisture moisturisers. there is a day one with spf15 and a night one. both are non comedogenic. also, the active soy in them can help with the scars. for a cleanser, id try something from Avene, which is a great brand for sensitive skin, or Simple if you would prefer something cheaper. Vichy is a very effective brand as well. for a home remedy, after removing makeup with a baby wipe in the evening, apply honey for 20 minutes. it is moisturising and calming, and can help get rid of any blemishes or blemish scars. remember to eat well, exercise and drink lots of water as what you put in shows on the outside!!

Maybe its time to take a visit to the dermatologist and get some strong medications like Differin...thats what I had perscribed to me. It sounds like the only person who can really help your skin would be a doctor.

I would try visiting an esthetician. You could find one at a local spa or full service salon. They offer specialized treatments such as facials and and microderm abrasion that would remedy your problem. Best of luck!
