I have oily, dry skin! I use just hand soap & water to wash my face! (Because I don't really have anything special) what works for you? I don't have any names of the products of my makeup right now but I hope that's enough info! Thanks!

Don't use hand soap!! It is so bad for your skin. I would use an oil free face wash and an oil free moisturizer

I highly suggest the Origins Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash, it's formulated for combination skin so it won't make your dry areas anymore dry or your oily areas anymore oily (:

So I have combo skin as well. My nose gets oily the rest of my face is normal to dry. I use...

1. Tatcha Oil Cleanser or Boscia Tsubaki Oil Cleanser
2. First Aid Beauty Mattifying Gel (favorite moisturizer in the history of anything!)
3. Stila Aqua Glow Primer or Estée Lauder Mattifying Primer
5. Estée Lauder Double Wear, Stila Stay All Day, Smashstudio Skin, or Elice for foundation.
6. Kat Von D Translucent Powder

The bar soap is probably drying your skin out more then anything as regular bar soap tends to strip moisture away from the skin.

My favorite cleanser for years has been Olay's Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin. I think it's well suited for all but the absolute driest skin. It's super affordable and the formula is great. Oil free (if you care about that sort of thing), but still gives you rich, soft lather, and is completely free of added fragrance.

Are you looking for a more in-depth routine?

The Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish range, so freaking good LOVE IT. I have the same skin type and I use it, I had good results. A moisturiser to use is the Clinique one for combination skin, it's on the pricey side though.

Hope I could help.
