My skin is normal to dry. I moisturize my skin a lot specially at night. I try not to use too many cosmetics on my skin as my skin is also very sensitive. I guess oily skin types are difficult to maintain as oily skin is more prone to acne etc. What is your skin type? And how do you maintain it.

I have a combination skin, The characteristic of this skin type is: - Oilt in the T-zone, namely the forehead, nose, and chin - The pores in the T-zone looks great - Regional cheeks appeared normal/dry As for tips on choosing a cosmetic from my Aunt, FOR WOMAN, for this type of skin is... - Choose a cleaning gel - Use a foundation with a liquid - Choose a powder Eye Shadow - Use only a thin moisturizer on oily parts and choose based oil free

I have every type of skin you can imagine. It's oily, it's acne prone, but it gets terribly dry and it's ultra sensitive. I have to be very careful with what I put on my skin or I will pay for it with a breakout. I find that a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil for sensitive skin works great in the morning before I moisturize, then I use Cetaphil for combination/acne prone skin at night followed by a benzoyl peroxide acne cream and then a light moisturizer. I try to stick with mineral make up because it's non-comedogenic and tends to be very gentle.

I have combination skin it's both oily and dry. Because of this I find applying make-up a bit of a problem sometimes especially when applying really dry powders or greasy foundations as they run when my body heats up. There are make-up products on the market nowadays that help fight this though and give the desired effect without any further problems after initial application.
