My face is usually oily in my t-zone but within the last week it changed. My skin is super dry and tight feeling. My cheeks are naturally rosy but lately they have been extremely red and bumpy and the red has migrated up to my eye lids. Does anyone have any tips or products they use to fix these problems? Please and thank you!

When my skin started acting up I stopped using my soap and face makeup. I thought maybe my skin was just reacting to one of those since I never really needed much moisturizer since my skin was extremely oily. Right now I rinse with water occasionally I do a clay mask from origins but I haven't lately. Right now I'm just using face lotion trying to combat the dry skin.

I usually used nutrogena face wash.

Have you been using the Charcoal Mask from Origins? I have sensitive skin and when I tried out that mask it burned so much :( According to Beautypedia, the high amount Horsetail Extract can cause irritation so that might be contributing to redness..
I would try to combat the inflammation and irritation... maybe a nice yogurt mask with some oats... or aloe vera and some green tea.
Sticking to a lotion clear of fragrance (I'm in favor of CeraVe) and once you find that the redness has reduced, exfoliate gently to remove that dead layer of skin cells which can potentially be blocking off the moisturizer from being absorbed.
Around this time of year I switch to oil cleansing... an affordable option is L'Occtaine's cleansing oil which brings a generous amount for around $18.00.

I used their pink clay mask maybe that did it to me. I've been using fragrance free curel for sensitive skin. Thank you so much for the tips!

When my skin gets dry around this time of year I use a Snail hydrating mask Yes may seem weird but it does work and hydration is back. :)

Haili you should be able to find it at a Asian store, I buy mine at a store called Sea food city. You could also try the Face Shop if you have one in your area. :)
