Hi There...

PLEASE HELP WITH BEST ADVICE!

I don't know what to use anymore... When I wash my face in the mornings it's dry as hell after the soap (I have used all kind of soaps including health products... ) My skin is so so so dry! Later the day it becomes very shiny and oily..! If I used a moisterizer in the mornings after I've washed my face, I GET PIMPLES!

Please help! I'm fed up!

Kind regards,

Stan

I find that shower gel does not dry my skin anywhere near as much as most soaps, so you may want to try that.

I recommend AcneFree. It is what I use right now. That's how I was, I had clearsol that would dry my skin out like crazy so I stopped using it or would put on some type of moisturizor and then I would get acne. I found AcneFree which works in 3 steps, 1.) Clears away dead skin cells and such (use this in the shower). 2.) The actual acne killing stuff 3.) a thing that replenishes the skin. So now my face is healthy and acnefree (Really). This is my personal experience it may not work for you but you should try it. Its like 30 dollars for the kit. Go to costco or sams club or something they usually have a deal where you are getting twice as much of a normal kit for like only 5 dollars more.

If its available in South Africa I would recommend using something like Dove soap. Its non-drying and will provide a little bit of moisture to your skin.

The oily thing by the afternoon is pretty common. Most people experience that. As a woman I use oil control lotion in the morning then use oil blotting powder in the afternoon - my guess is that would not work for you ;)

Maybe just simply wash you face with some warm water in the afternoon to get rid of the oil.

There are pads my sister use to use that took th oil off your face. It like like paper and it was really gross but it worked good. She would rub it on her face and the oil spots on the paper turn a different color. By the time she was done, the paper was not its original color lol

Good call sgt...

Yes they do sell blotting papers and its not like makeup or anything like that. You simply take a sheet and blot the oil off your face.

I just did a search on Amazon.com for blotting papers and tons of them came up. You may want to investigate. Some of them do smell like rose or lavender so you can check them out on your own.

I have dry skin too so this would be great for me. Where exactly can u find the cream
