Hi girls. I have a problem that is not from yesterday and I do not see a cure. As you know, I have combination / mixed skin type. I get a lot of oil in the T-zone, but I've come to terms with that. The dry areas make me uncomfortable. It flakes very much around the folds of the nose, around and on the eyebrows themselves (from which whole scales fall) and in the corners of the mouth. Every day I wash with a non-aggressive face gel, I apply a cream according to my skin type, in general, all products such as facial care are according to the needs of the skin. But I can't do anything, I apply a cream to soften the skin and prepare it for PDT, but after PDT (I use a light formula) flakes see through the bottom and I get nervous. If I start chewing them, they become red spots. What to do For the record, I'm not in puberty, but 25 years old.
I have exactly the same problem! I went to dermatologists, doctors, I used all kinds of expensive cosmetics ... the solution for dry skin, at least for me, from everything I tried (over 100 products) was Vaseline. In the evening I put a large amount on the dry areas, in the morning I wash it and put a very thin one before I put PDT. If it is very greasy, I absorb it with paper
Put on your fingers, from the face wash gel and on it, sprinkle baking soda. Massage the whole face with this thing. Then be sure to apply a cream and your skin will be smooth. Try this before the foundation and you will see the difference. I can't do without soda for the face. I have tried many brands of abrasive gels, but they are not effective.
You need to exfoliate your skin well so that there are no such scales. Then in the dry places you apply a heavier cream, and in the rest - with the lighter one you have, but it doesn't seem to work for the driest skin. Or first smear the dry areas with some oil (olive, almond, argan, etc.), wait a while and then smear your face with cream. Drink plenty of water, exfoliate regularly and do not neglect creams and oils because of the oily T-zone.
I have the same problem. Go to the doctor, it may be broken, like mine, flaky skin ... do not waste your time with self-medication go to the doctor, everything will be fine, good luck.

I have oily skin (not just the T-zone), but if I don't do the things I'll describe below in 1-2 days, it starts to flake off. There seems to be a rash, but anyway ... About the excessive amount of sebum: a steam bath with chamomile over a pot of boiling water and a towel on his head. It opens the pores and is much easier to clean from white and black dots. You can try to squeeze them gently, but not directly with your fingers, but with a towel on them. Then wet a small towel with warm water and gently rub your face. This will remove dead skin and give it a much fresher look (including dry areas). Then you can apply clay or take from those Chinese mud masks, which directly remove your face, but remove everything that you can not eliminate manually. You will feel your skin quite dry - my nose was white, especially if I applied powder and went crazy. I stumbled upon the infarmaciq blog. com, where the author, mag. pharmacist, (does not) recommend different products for any skin problems. I decided to try Bioderma's Atoderm atopic skin balm, which is suitable for both face and body. I no longer have problems with flaking. It is a bit more expensive - BGN 36 for 0.5 liters, but it is enough for me for 4-5 months. There are smaller cuts, but they come out ungodly money. I don't wash my face with anything. I only use rose water and a cotton swab. Carefully read the ingredients of the products with which you wash and lubricate. They apply very strong irritants en masse, which dry out and lead to additional oiliness and skin problems. Take a look at the blog in question, there is terribly useful first-hand information.
