Anti Aging Skin Tips

How can I moisturize my face when I have acne?

Sometimes after I use those cleansing pads or wash my face or after a shower, the skin on my face peels off just a little bit. It's really small and not really noticable after a while but I would like to know anyways how to keep it mosturized?? I can't buy anything so there's nothing I can do if you say to buy aveeno or vitamin e. Sry.. I only use it when my face starts to get oily and only when I have to. I know I can't use lotion because of the unnecessary oil in there. Any suggestions? Maybe a way I can clear my face with the things I have without the drying? Thanks very much :3 hmm..my mom might have mosturizers. She has a lot..would it still be alright if I still used the cleansing pads and if I add in the mosturizer? I find it does help and it pulled me through a break out. I just don't use it as much and I do remove the bacteria when I use it too. Oil and bacteria seems to clump together..

1. There are oil free moistuizers out there. I use Olay.
2. solve all your problems by going to a dermatologist. they will accept insurance. all your products will be free. ask parents.
3. You must moisturize or your skin will continue to produce oil to make up for the drying effects of the cleaning products you use on your face. The link below has some homemade moisturizers since you can't buy anything.
4. By cleansing pads, you don't mean the kind that exfoliate, do you? I wouldn't use that if you have a fairly bad acne break-out. It'll only open the pustule and spread the bacteria to create more acne. There are probably home remedies you can use if you can't buy anything - but they'll all contain oils of some sort: mayonnaise, olive oil, avocado... Acne, true acne, is not necessarily caused by oil. Bacteria is the culprit. Sometimes people with very dry skin have acne and they really need those oils to help keep their skin clear. I think you really need to buy something - a daily moisturizer like Olay with SPF in it is so necessary! Summer or winter... Any way you can ask a family member or friend to buy you one?
5. Oxy has lotion u can use. Oxy is better than proactive, atleast 4 me. I used 2 have vedry bad acne. Sensitive skin
