around the creases of my nose... well now my nose in general, the area between my eyes, and just above my eyebrows, my skin is soooo messed up its like dry flaky red and bumpy.. itches a little too but when it flakes off or when i scratch it off, theres sooo much oil under i dont understand it... if i wash the dry skin and oil off, after a bit, the dry red bumps just come back and is oily underneath AGAIN-dead seems to me like its nonstop dryskinandoil production-surr i wash my face 3 times a day, once a day with face wash other times with water only anybody else have this happen to them before?
well thing is washing you face to much can be the problem, but in your case im not really sure. do you use any kind of moisturizer for your face?
yes. i know your pain. my skin is far from perfect. thankfully, you can fix it... you just need to find out what works for your skin since everyone's is different. i suggest washing your face less like ProjectD mentioned, since you may be irritating your skin causing more blemishes. i'll include my washing habits below if you're interested. also, if you're looking for new products to try, then i highly recommend Pond's Cold Cream since it seems to clean AND moisturize at the same time!!! 7am: wash face with water, pat dry, and follow up with some moisturizer. 7pm: wash face with water, pat dry, and follow up with pond's cold cream (apply, leave on while i brush my teeth, then remove most of it with some tissue).
yeah I think you should go see a dermatologist about it ... then maybe they can prescribe you something or at least tell you what kind of skincare you need
you might wanna use moisturizer and not lotion because no matter what lotion says on the bottle about being greaseless..... it tends to grease up anyways..... and washing ur face too much will make it flake...... u might wanna try cetaphil cleanser........... and if u costantly wanna get rid of the oil u can always blot..... on tyra banks show she suggest using toilet seat covers.... u won't have to worry about emptying ur wallet
lmao thanks guys i dont use any moisturizers or anything in general except neutrogena mens facewash and on the occasion those biore strip things for now ill stop washing my face so often, probably use the neutrogena crap less if it worsens ill go see a dermy to see what random products i should use
-rotfl I know what she means as the texture of those toilet seat covers have the right texture to use it on a oily face but can't help to laugh up out loud when I read it! -lol
u should definately use some moisteriser so that ur skin will become smooth and soft and hydrated again. i suggest using some moisteriser that contains aloe vera in. that will help ur skin to become smooth very quickly again. hope this helps.
Yeah, like the others have said, moisturizers. I suggest carrying around some lotion as well. Put it on whenever your skin is reallly dry and such. With winter coming, that would be really helpful. It this persists, you should go see your family doctor and see what they can perscribe for you.
well when i use moisturizers they feel like i put nothing on at all.... i don't think they clog pores.......the only lotion that i feel i can put on my face that isn't greasy is johnsons baby lotion..... u do smell like a baby though
lmao i dont mind smelling like a baby but today i didnt use any products to wash my face only water and... there was an excessive amount of oil... that i dunno, instead of getting rid of it because if i get rid of the oil, then my skin would just produce more to replace whatever i got rid of so i left it for a bit, and then it solidified?? i dont even know if its oil anymore lmao
Go visit a dermatologist. Other than that I would suggest drinking atleast 9 glasses water a day cause it sounds like you have a hydration problem. And it wouldn't hurt to jog or jump rope 10 - 15 minutes a day to get your facial pores working and eliminate that dry skin. Or just keep going till your face is sweating. And I wouldn't suggest any products cause that may just irritate your already problematic skin even more. Take me for example, I have fairly good skin but when I put face lotion on I'll start breaking out. So imagine what it might do to your skin. And besides, lotion is just a temporary solution to cover up the problem.
Considering that you are washing youre skin three times a day means that you are cleaning it good enough. A possible reason why you have a greasy skin is that youre skin is hydreated to much, try use a mask or some other face product to stabilise the skin or try to find out if there is any thing wrong in youre eating pattern.
alrighty thanks everyone im gonna head to the dermy on thursday but it seems like i might have eczema... lol
hmm.......go see a doc!!! other than that as everyone says, moisturiser, oh and do NOT use like facial wash cleansing stuff EVERYDAY cos it does dry out your skin, use it like once every other day.
drinking water is the KEY to any skin problems people!!!!! My naturopath said that depending yoru body weight, every 30kg you have, you should drink up one litre of water for it. So drink up! 8 glasses is probably not enough but a good start. Try some hydrating masks, steam your face one a week, exfoliate away the dead skin every second week, moisturise it morning and nigh and in between if you need (handy to have some moisturiser in the bag!), take vitamin E or leave it on for 30mins before going ot bed, etc... I personally have a Thermal Spring Water spray that i carry with me all the time and spray my face when i feel it's dry or dehydrated. Works wonders for me! Hope my suggestions help
sounds like u have some sort of allergy reaction or maybe psoriasis... or it could b the pH level on ur skin is out of balance... u might b allergic to one of the ingrediences in ur daily skincare routine... maybe go to a pharmacy n get a cleanser n a moisturister that's more gentle... or go to a beauty therapist n c if there's any treatment or product they recommand... if it's a skin disorder then u'll need to go n c the doctor
