sometimes my face feels REALLY sore and dry, and within an hour if I don't put anything on it, it gets really oily. I can't use soap, and even with just water my skin feels horrible and tight  Try the active moist! To go back to the other post, I thought you were implying that if you removed the oil from your skin it would just produce more...when the main thing is to just keep it hydrated. We don't have any samples left right now but if we get some I'll let you know and I'll mail them to you! That would be great! 
Thanks a lot 
my face is getting that sore feeling now  | |

ZombieKitten said: CarrieLee said: Not 100% true. Oil attracts oil therefore it draws it out better ***when using the correct products***. I never knew this before either. Dermalogica makes a precleanse that is oil based and it's great to use as a first cleanse, and then follow with the anti-bac products for acne. I guess it depends with each product... I always thought if you keep scrubbing off your oil, your skin just overcompensates by making MORE oil - is that right? 
I have combination skin, oily T-zone and break out at ovulation and menstruation, I have one good skin week exactly 7 days after my period ends, and then it all starts again  This is exactly me as well. It's also the week when I am the thinnest, (or at least feel that way) so it's a good week all around I suppose, but it's just so short-lived.

Yes, we'll have one week when we can go out together and look amazing, and then after that we'll have to hermit it up again until the next metamorphosis.

around 2 am last night I mixed sea salt and olive oil, lavander & peppermint EO drops in a bowl and scrubbed my face
Damn that felt good and left my skin REALLY soft and fresh feeling/looking | |

do you get everything done that you spent the other 3 weeks putting off? I'm not really sure.  I hardly ever get anything done at any time, so it's hard to say. I still have projects from over two years ago that I still need to finish.  "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Quick wash with dettol soap when I have my morning shower.
Usually use this Boots anti-bacterial gel stuff later in the day when I've been out and about amongst the grime of Bangkok. Also, I wash my face in hot loose oolong or green tea once every week or so. Don't use much moisturizer, just the occasional bit of Nivea day cream or Shiseido moisturizers, toners, balancers etc. my wife has. Hot face mask every few weeks too. | |

Ok, I don't feel so bad now. 1992 was a long time ago. I was only one year out of high school! "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I'm thinking of trying Mary Kay again. |
