I have Dry and Oily Skin anyone can answer

[MaryMary]

When the weather is windy, my skin gets to dry and when the weather is hot my skin is too oily. After washing my face with face wash/soap, it gets too dry. When I apply any cream/moisturizer on my skin, it becomes too oily. When I have severe cold, I apply Vicks or use an inhaler it has a reaction on my skin. What should I do?

It seems that your skin is dehydrated. There is enough oil but it lacks moisture. So when you apply cream you are giving oil to the skin which makes it oilier. Instead of cream, use some good moisturizers. Apply good sunscreen cream before going out in the sun to retain moisturiser in the skin. If your skin is allergic to Vicks, then it would be better to avoid it.

Maybe you have combination skin like I do? Is your skin oilier in general when it's warm or just on your tzone (cheecks, nose, chin)? If so, then find a cleanser formulated for combination skin. That should help you a bit. Then just adjust the products you use on your skin when the weather changes. If it gets hot, then bring more blotting sheets and use them more often. You'll also need to use oil-free cosmetics if you use make-up. Then when the weather's colder, you can apply extra moisturizer at night before you sleep to keep your skin hydrated. It's all about reacting to your skin and giving it what it needs at the right time. :)

Find the right product for your skin. For oily skin, find a non oil-based moisturiser. Oily skin needs to be moisturise, too that's why it's important that it's not oil-based as it will only contribute to the oiliness of your skin.

I have oily skin, too but finding the right product helped me a lot.

And also, drink lots of water to hydrate your skin. Sometimes we think that because our skin is oily, it's not dry. Ironically, when our skin is dehydrated, our glands have the tendency to produce more oil to keep our skin moisturise. So the result is more oil. Hydrate your skin from inside so it won't 'think' that it's dry.

It is the often the most neglected beauty tip, yet it is one of the most effective.

Only moisturizers that are translucent should be used. They contain glycerine or petroleum jelly.

If you're using air condition or work in overheated indoor places your skin may have been permanently dried off.

Diet with enough vitamin A, zinc, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is necessary for normal skin.

Also try to search for "combination skin" that have oily and dry pathches combined...

I read somewhere that petroleum jelly is not good for the skin. Because it is a petrol by-product. It won't really benefit the skin.

Hi Mary,

I am not sure about your skin type but I guess you should change your skin care products according to the season. In winter, use a creamy moisturizer that keeps your skin hydrated while in summers, switch to an oil-free lightweight moisturizing gel that does increase the oil quotient on your face.

In gact, make sure all your skin care products are oil-free in summers.

See if it helps.

Regards,

Marilynn

Petroleum jelly may actually don't be good for the face since it may be inhaled, what in severe cases may cause lipid pneumonia. Quite some exaggeration would be needed for this to occur, I guess.

I thought petroleum jelly was not good because of the excessive oil contents of the same. Are there any more harms to its use??

Have ever tried the product called Kukui lotion? These products are excellent to moisturize and healing the skin.

The properties of Kukui are really wonderful, if you are interested, check on Google or on our site. We've got an article about the kukui tree and his commun uses.

These products have been used for centuries in Hawaii, you may try them, or ask people who have experienced these products.

Petroleum jelly has its limits. It's not appropriate for oily skin, or for sunburns.

The main problem with petroleum jelly is that it often causes allergy.

It can cause discolorated spots if used in excess.
