MedHelp Member's Question

Dry and Oily Skin!

Tags: skin, oily skin, Dry skin

At night when I wash my face my skin becomes very dry, and my nose starts to peel. This also happens after I shower. After I shower I put a small amount of moisturizer on, because in the day my skin gets very oily and greasy. I am not sure what to do. If I moisturize too much, my skin gets VERY oily and greasy, if I don't moisturize at all my skin becomes dry and flakey. What should I do? I wash my face every night with cetaphil and I use mineral makeup. Is there anything I can do, or any product that I can use so that my face does not become very dry and flakey and so my face is not oily and greasy as well?
Thank you!
