Oily forehead which turns extremely flaky & dry when i apply liquid foundation even when priming. how to treat combination area of face? prone to acne
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moisturize: Combination of Acne & oily skin can be challenging to treat. Most topical acne medications can cause dryness & irritation; use of daily moisturizing lotion is a necessity even w/ oily skin. Recommend wash face w/ mild (sensitive skin) soap followed by an oil and alcohol-free lotion twice daily. May also try using Retin-A every other day on the forehead area. Discuss w/ doctor if problems continues
