Skin & Facial moisturizer ?
So I have weird skin. After I wash it, it can get REALLY dry to the point of peeling. But then later in the day it would get oily. Its embarrassing when my face is dry. When I went to the dermatologist for my acne (which I still have), I was using cetaphil and also the cetaphil moisturizer. My dermatologist told me not to put the moisturizer on because it will make my face oily when the goal is to dry the face of acne. But again, without putting a moisturizer on, my face would become too dry. What should I do? I know I should probably tell my dermatologist but I haven't been able to see her in a long time (couple of months). Any tips?

It may seem strange to use an oil to assist with oily skin, but I would suggest you try using Jojoba Oil it is a great natural skin moisturizer
Jojoba Oil is almost identical organically-speaking to sebum, which is the natural oil produced by your skin. Studies on jojoba oil show that it has the ability to prevent skin from becoming too oily. This is due to the fact that putting jojoba oil on our skin can trick our cells into thinking they have produced enough oil.
Remove any surface dirt and makeup from your skin, then put just a few drops of jojoba oil into your hand and rub it into your skin when you start to work jojoba oil into the skin, the oil penetrates into the pores. As jojoba closely resembles your skin's own oil, moisturizing with jojoba oil sends the message to your pores to stop overproducing the sebum that causing the oily skin.
As well as being a great natural moisturizer it can also help with acne, Jojoba Oil penetrates into the skin without clogging pores and is suitable for all skin types it contains vitamin E and antioxidants which are great for fighting aging signs and moisturizing the skin.
Hope this helps!

I suffer with acne also, and it's correct a dry face is what you need to help ance clear but if your face is too dry I would say use honey on your face which is a good moisturizer ! Anything natural. I don't use moisturizer on my face because it makes my break outs worse but my face is basically almost clear now ! Good luck ! P.s you can also add milk or olive oil( which is good for the skin and is natural )
