What would be the right cleanser for my face? Any time I use any cleanser, my skin really dries out.?

I have combination skin, but any cleanser I use dries my skin out like crazy. I feel like I'm just clogging my pores and making me all oily again if I put lotion on my face afterwards. But if I don't put lotion on, my skin feels tight and starts to flake a little. Any ideas for a cleanser that would clear my skin, but not dry me out??

I use St. Ives Apricot scrubs. They actually work...your skin literally feels refreshed after washing. The products from St. Ives that I use are usually used in the shower.


You can buy these products at drug stores, Wal-Mart, etc. I thought I'd never find the right cleanser for my face but after using St. Ives I know I'll be using it again.
Reply:Dont use anything.. a friend of mine swears by just washing with cold water
Reply:My skin is like that too.. I wash with plain ol' soap.. then put FACIAL moistureizers on it (if you don't have any.. just a light lotion.. and nothing scented). It doesn't clog your pores if it's made for your face! There's a special ingredient that's supposed to block it.. ask a clinique person! haha
Reply:biore face wash are the best i'd advise you to use an oil of olay face moisturizer (wash with luke warm water always) too the uv protection kind .
Reply:I have really dry skin and use Dove gentle face wash. Get any gentle or sensitive formula cleanser. Cetaphil is great too. Find an oil free moisturizer too.





I only wash my face at night because it is so dry. When it is oily in the daytime, I just use blotting papers. This could work for you too.
Reply:dont use anything and u will turn out like a shrivvelled prune!try olay's total effects cleanser,it has exfoliating micro beads which gently cleanse your skin,i love it..i feel like i am really getting a good clean,...i follow that up with olay's regenerest enhancing lotion....they are avaliable at the supermarket and chemist's and arent too expensive....
Reply:Pure and simple.. Proactive.
Reply:Use a milky or creamy cleanser- they don't dry your skin but they don't make it oily either and as for using a moisturiser make sure that you always use one, this will keep your skin hydrated but will also balance your pH levels. When I was in high school I always thought that moisturiser would make my skin oily, but then when I started using one each day my skin because lovely and soft and it became less oily.





**Try SOTHY'S Normalizing Beauty Milk (cleanser) followed by SOTHY'S Immuniscience Fluid- this moisturiser is for very sensitive skin so therefore it is very light and is in a fluid form so it is cooling and wont leave you with a shiny look.





Email me if you would like any more ideas, tips etc.
Reply:I have bought all the cremes and lotions and anti-acne crap there is, and honestly every time I have used somthing "special" or "new" it ALWAYS make my face break out, or drier, or just feels nasty....


I use Dove face cloths, there is a little soap already in them, and they are so easy on the eyes, like baby shampoo! very nice!


and when I get out of the shower, and if my face is feeling dry (like you said tight) I put a little oil of olay (unscented *cuz if not I smell like a g-ma) and all is good!!! best of luck!
Reply:Aveda cleansing gel works great for me and I have combination skin. It cleans well but doesn't give me that dry, tight feeling afterwards. You only need a little so it lasts a long time.
