Clogged pores and dry skin at the same time?

Ever since I stopped nursing my daughter my skin has been recking havoc. I get clogged pores on my nose and forehead, and I wash to minimize oil. But at the same time, my skin gets so dry that it flakes! What am I doing wrong? Is there some product out there that will get rid of the oil but won't dry my skin?

Clogged pores and dry skin at the same time?
I am not an expert but my research and information gathering due to my acne prone skin had given me enough insight for skin.


Skin changes its behavior over time of any person regardless of age/gender. Hence it becomes important that we keep a check on our skin's requirements. Most of these in women is due to the hormonal changes at different stages of their life. That does not mean that entire of your facial skin should act the same way.


It appears like you are having the same problem, you have a T-zone oily and rest of the face as dry skin type. This is referred to as combination skin. use a combination skin cleanser (avoid soap as they tend to dry your skin even more) follow it with a combination skin toner and gel based moisturizer (avoid cream based moisturizer as you have clogged pores). Do this 2 times a day, if you over do it, that is when your skin starts flaking as it does not have any moisture, it chips. I used to use Oriflame when i was in India(they are a little on the expensive side but most of their products are good). Now I use The Body Shop or neutrogena as i am in USA. Olay, clean and clear, dove, ponds are also good. Its just that you need these kind of products, does not matter which company they come from.


If nothing else, use aloe Vera paste as moisturizer, that will be great.

Reply:What I suggest is you for to wash your hair everyday....sometimes the reason for breaking out is from the oil in your hair. And what I also suggest is to wet your face and pat with towel.
