Dry but oily skin!:(

Feb 10, 2013

I have really difficult skin. I get a lot of oil down the sides of my nose and forehead, but on the bridge of my nose and cheeks I get extremely dry patches. Whenever I put a moisturiser on my nose/cheeks, whether it be heavy or light, I break out or get super oily in those areas too.
I exfoliate 2-3 times a week, and wash my face with washes specified for oily skin, but nothing seems to work.
I'm really not sure on what I can do to fix this.
Any ideas?

You have combination skin. There's moisturizers for that skin type. When I was younger, estee lauder had a day cream in a green tub, combination skin formula which helped me clear up my outbreak which lasted like 6 months.

Combination skin my dear! You should use a balancing toner to balance your natural oils.. Hope that helps.

Same here, combi skin. I use clinique moisturizer. Before, mario badescu but I get a little oily with it sometimes - or maybe it's the weather here.
