I have dry dull skin, My skin needs a lot of moisture, but then it breaks out if it gets too much - or if the moisturiser is too oily.

Try Nivea Sensitive Balance Day Cream. I actually like to use this at night because it doesn't have an SPF...... My skin is combination - oily t-zone but can get really dehydrated and flaky as well. I'm also prone to break outs. I like this cream a lot! Not too greasy but it is really nourishing.





You might also want to think about switching your cleanser too. Does it leave your face feeling dry? Maybe look into oil cleansing. Hope that helps.
Ask the professionals I use - go to a department store and find the Clinique counter!
you need an oil free moisturiser, you could try clean and clears skin cleansing range, very good for problem skin.





sounds similar to my skin, i suggest -





1.clean and clear exfoliating daily wash with microbeads or similar.


2.deep cleansing pore wipes/wash 2 times a day. (i find wipes more conveinient).


3.oil free moisturiser.
there are lots of cool and soft lotions. the one that i use, is called Vaseline intensive care. its pink but it comes with lots of other lotions too. i buy it from Costco, sorry for spelling it wrong.i use it everyday. its not too oily, but it does not have any smells to choose from. it softens hands and leaves nails 10 times stronger. i think you should try it.
I think I have tried every skincare line in the book and here is my advice:





Since yor skin is flaky you are probably using a cleanser that is too harsh, and you will need to exfoliate as well.





You don't need a heavy moisturizer to get good results. There are plenty of good product lines out there but here are some things to look for: Moisture holding ingedients (like hyaluronic acid and copper), be mindful of ingredients that MAY clog pores (mineral oil, peanut oil and lot of waxes) . The fewer the ingredients the less things there are to potentially make your skin break out.





Paula Dorf has a lot of good skincare articles on her website (www.cosmeticscop.com) but keep in mind that she is out to market her own skincare line (which i have tried and it did not amaze me) and her product reviews pretty much bash every product on the market.





That said...The only product line that i have been a repeat buyer of is Mario Badescu (you can buy online at www.mariobadescu.com). The products use very few and mostly botanical ingredients and you can get a free skin care consultaion /product recommendations on the website from someone at the spa. They are also reasonably priced! I love their buttermilk moisturizer (it has carnation oil, which will not clog pores and it has absolutely no greasy after feel and leaves my skin like silk). You might like their seaweed cleansing soap as well. It exfoliates and unclogs pores without drying your skin or making it red. Or try to enzyme cleanising gel to brighten up your complextion. Vitamin C serums are also great at night for making your complextion more glowy (vitamin c helps repair sun and cell damage). I like Avon's clearly C serum.





Hope this helps and good luck!
i think u have combination type of skin. some areas r dry others r oily and breakout.


try clean and clear or neutrogena, they have nice ones to suit u.
Try Philosophy's Hope in A jar. The motto of the mousturizer is ';your skin need a cup of water not oil. I use it and its great and it exfoliates the skin also and prevents free radical damage. You can get it a Sephora or go to there website Philosophy.com or Sephora.com
You do seem to have combination skin.





It is totally untrue that moisturizers only make you break out if they are bad or if you use too much! Even great moisturizers can clog your pores if that's what your skin is prone to. According to skin care expert Paula Begoun, you only need to put moisturizer on the dry areas of your face. She recommends the following products for combination skin (and she NEVER recommends moisturizers with oils):


- St. Ives Cucumber %26amp; Elastin Eye %26amp; Face Stress Gel


- DHC Water Base Moisture


- Beauty Without Cruelty Green Tea Nourishing Eye Gel


- Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief OR Moisture in Control





You're even better off with something that has sunscreen, like:


- Olay ProVital Protective Moisture Lotion (SPF 15)


- Lancome Face and Body Lotion with Pure Vitamin E (SPF 15)





And, by the way, Dermalogica has badly formulated and ineffective sunscreens, plus there are many plant extracts in the products that are potentially serious irritants and problems for skin.





Philosophy's Hope in a Jar is fine, but SERIOUSLY overpriced for what it is! And do not ';ask the professionals,'; if by ';professionals'; you mean ';cosmetics salespeople.'; They aren't bad people, it's just that they only know what their company tells them -- that every product they sell is great. Obviously not true!
perfect for your skin is one of Dermalogica's brand and for dry,dull skin its the 'intensive moisture balance' one. its for your type of skin and concentrates on hydrating your facial skin.





people only ever break out in spots if the moisturisers is really bad or you are applying too much. as i learnt at beauty skewl u only ever need a pea size blob for your WHOLE face!!





by theway, you cannot buy dermalogica over the counter you will have to go into yourl ocal salon to buy it...........





Dermalogica - Intensive mositure balance happy days :)
