Hi try these tips and see how they work for you.
1. Increase your water level. Drink up! Make sure to drink at least 8 glasses of pure water a day to keep your skin and body properly hydrated. Drink more if you’re super active.
2. When washing your face put some milk in the water first. This takes hardness out of water and is kinder to your face and body. Add a tablespoon or so of almond, jojoba, olive, or hazelnut oil to your bath water after you’ve soaked for about 5 minutes. By soaking first, your skin gets plumped up by the water, then by adding the oil, it will seal in the absorbed moisture.
3. A lavender, rose, or German chamomile aromatic hydrosol sprayed onto your face, neck, chest, and hands helps to keep your skin wonderfully refreshed and hydrated.
4. Limit hot water contact. Avoid long, hot showers and baths, especially during cold weather, as they dehydrate the skin. Warm showers and baths for a short duration, though, are beneficial to dry skin. Also, limit bathing or washing you face to once a day, usually right before you retire. When you arise, apply a bit of herbal facial splash or toner, or spritz your face (and body, if it needs treatment as well) with an aromatic hydrosol and you’re ready to go.
5. Use only gentle cleansers. Avoid cleansers such as deodorant soaps and harsh abrasives. These can cause your skin to feel like a dried-out Thanksgiving turkey. Use a PH Balanced soap like dove. It wont dry your skin or make it oily.
FOR OILY SKIN
Buy yourself some Lemongrass Night Gel. You can get this from a Pharmacy (chemist). Or buy some pure tea tree oil and mix it with a carrier oil. Apply to your face every night. You can buy this from a health shop.

For facial cleansing, I use Cetephil liquid cleanser as I have sensitive skin, and it doesn't irritate it at all. I also read in Paula Begeon's book "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me" that one can mix a bit of baking soda with the cetaphil and get a light exfolliant. Please remember Not to put too much pressure as that can only irritate your skin more and even cause broken blood vessels and loosen the elasticity of your skin. It's much more gentle than the St. Ive's almond scrub. Perhaps you should consult with a dermatologist too.

Use a good moisturizer or I suggest you try using Zenmend Derma Lotion from Zenmed or Autopalm from Skinstore.com.
Zenmend 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 Autopalm. 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.
Here's are some good references:
