Hi guys! so i actually have combo skin [oily on my forehead and nose dry som other places] and i was just looking for a good skin care routine for this skin type. if you could let me know everything to use and like maybe a certain brand that would be great thanks!!
Answer
Combination skin is very common. It doesn't sound like you have any other issues going on like Acne or sensitive skin. Cetaphil makes a cleanser for combination skin that can be purchased at the drug store. It's a good basic cleanser. Eucerin makes a light moisturizer that has SPF 20. I also like SkinCeuticals Simply Clean Cleanser, it works really well on combo skin and won't cause dryness in other areas of the face. Just make sure to use an oil free sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Colorescience makes a great one in a powder. I've heard Cameron Diaz talk about it in magazines. She loves it because her skin is oily in some areas and it doesn't make her shiny.

Answer
I have oily skin that is prone to breakouts too, so I completely get where you are coming from! I've just recently started washing my face using the oil cleansing method, and I can't believe how much it has helped my skin! I know, I know. It does sound a bit odd applying oil to oily skin, but it has actually made my skin LESS oily.
This is what has worked for me.
All you need is extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) and castor oil.
Next you will add 3 parts Castor oil to 1 part EVOO. (ex: 3 tablespoons of Castor oil to 1 tablespoon EVOO), and combine the oils in a small bottle and shake to mix.
Now it's time to purge those pores with these simple steps:
1. Start with a dry face.
2. Pour a quarter sized amount into your palm and rub your hands together.
3. Apply the oil mixture to your skin.
4. Slowly and gently massage your skin with your finger tips.
5. Wet a washcloth with hot water, and put it on your face letting it cool to room temperature.
6. Remove the wash cloth and gently wipe off the oil.
7. Tone and moistuize skin with your favorite natural toner ( I use apple cider vinegar mixed with equal parts of water- this is good for oil and acne too!) and moisturizer.
You'll only need to do this once per day. I do it right before bedtime. In the morning I just use a witch hazel toner (good for acne and oily skin) or the apple cider vinegar mixture to refresh my skin and remove any oil that might have popped up overnight.
This has also done a really good job at drying up any breakouts I had. If you have any stubborn breakouts, consider trying Burt's Bee's Herbal Blemish Stick. I've had really good results with that product for breakouts in the past. Good luck! I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me!
