Dry or combination skin?

Hi-





I am a teenager with thin, dry skin. After I wash it, it feels tight, and after I put a moisturizer on, it burns (I can feel its penetration), yet feels so wonderful. I assume I have dry skin, but the skin around my nose is slightly bumpy (maybe it is eczema?), my pores are big, and there are tiny blackheads, even though my nose is not oily. I have never had acne in my life. If I wash my nose, but do not moisturize, my nose feels tight and itchy; my forehead and chin are clear and dry. Which skin type do you think I have?





Can you recommend any skincare products for me?





Oh, and on my upper arms and buttocks, I have what you would call "chicken skin," or (scientifically known as) Keratosis Pilaris. They are like goosebumps. My whole body is extremely dry, and in the winter, I suffer from eczema on my hands and wrists. I also have dry (frizzy), curly hair.

Dry or combination skin?
if ur cheeks are dry n feel tight n itchy after a wash den u hav dry skin. else its the Tzone oily where only ur forehead, nose n chin are oily.. if ur moisturizer suits ur skin type,it shudnt burn. mayb u feel wonderful coz ur relieved of the tight sensation.. there can b combos of skin on the face n the body. Am 1 such specimen. my face is oily n my body, dry. my hair,normal... am not sure on wat kinda skin products uv to use on a day out but while indoors or before retirin to bed, there are a whole lot of thngs to sizzle ur skin for the next day.





u can use the cream of milk/olive oil/coconut oil/gingelly oil or a combo off all 3 to massage ur face, hands n neck.. alternatly, u can use a mixture of gram flour,aloevera,cinnamom powder n a bit of honey to rub around the nose area as a pack n also to exfoliate n remove black heads.not only are they natural but also giv a nice glow. u can use these products on a weekly basis or evryday too.. put in about 3-4 drops of any oil in ur bath to prevent the dryin up of ur skin on the body.





as far as the hair is concerned, apart from eatin well, again a whole lot of stuff.. coupla hours b4 the bath, warm up som coconut oil/olive oil/gingelly oil or a combo of all 3 n massage ur hair n scalp. for a hair pack,u can either, powder dried fenugreek n mix in milk / soak fenugreek in milk n grind it n apply this pack on the hair about half an hour prior to ur hairwash.. shampoo as usual. this is a sure shot fix to dry hair n dandruff too.. u may catch cold if left on the hair for too long, so plz b wary b4 usin fenugreek.





but u know wat the best treatment wud b - drink a whole lotta water...
