You have oily skin, and yet you do not. It is the age old dilemma of what we have now labeled as combination skin. Your skin has become oily in certain areas, but other areas remain dry. You are now faced with not one, but two different skin types rolled up into one. What will work on dry skin will not necessarily be the best choice, and the same can be said for treatments for oily skin.
First of all, stop stressing. Stress will only aggravate any skin condition you have, so it is important for you to accept your skin type, take a deep breath, and learn the ways of taking care of your oily areas as well as your dry areas. Gauge your level of oiliness and dryness and decide how severe each one is.
Combination skin will give you both oily and dry skin, but in different areas of your face. The most common areas of oily skin will be in your T zone. This area refers to your forehead, nose, and chin, which leaves your cheeks as the bearers of dry skin.
Everyone has different skin needs, but when it comes to treating your skin, all you need to do is pay attention to the different types, how extreme the specific areas are in terms of oiliness and dryness, and look into what may be causing the excessive oiliness or dryness.With the right skin care products, taking care of your skin should not be much of a problem and you may soon find a balance between your oily areas and dry areas.
Always cleanse first. Your entire face will need a good wash before you put any other products on it. Be sure to choose a cleanser that will be a good balance for your skin. You do not want all the oils to be completely stripped from your face, as your skin will only make more, and your dry skin most certainly does not need any more moisture taken from it. Always pat your skin dry to keep at least some of your natural oils on your face. Read the rest of this entry »

Dry skin has a matt texture, tends to flake and looks white or grey in patches. Often dry skin is aggravated because the sebaceous glands are lazy or the skin has been over-exposed to the harsh elements like wind, sun or sea. Central heating also worsens dry skin. Unfortunately, in this type of skin, wrinkles and lines develop early and dryness tends to intensify with age.
