I have Oily/Dry Combination skin. Usually I'll be dry around the edges of my face and oily in my t-zone. But since a couple of weeks ago the skin around my nose and especially on my cheeks has been drying out. it doesn't even feel like skin. sometimes it flakes too. I don't know why. I haven't changed my skincare regimen and I've been eating as usually. I drink plenty of water and I have a great moisturizer I exfoliate my skin but not too often and it hasn't been cold where I live its actually been getting warmer but instead of slowly getting oilier as it gets warmer out my skin has been getting drier then it ever has been. If you have any tips or idea why this could be happening please help me.

Well I would suggest buying dr.bells pomade its cheap and just applying it on the flaky areas will help :) or maybe just about any balm or salve

Wash your face with a moisturizing soap or add a moisturizing foundation to hide that its dry

Rather than using a lotion moisturizer, I suggest using a gel. I was having this same problem for a while and then I'd over moisturize and it would cause me to break out. The best/cheapest I have found so far is "Garnier moisture rescue gel-cream for dry skin". I haven't had a problem with flakey skin or had any breakouts from it :)

Thank you everyone:) @kara I'll definitely try that gel I've been wanting to try it for a while now.

Go the oil route! I was so skeptical bc I have oily skin as well, but using an oil actually moisturizes the dry areas while tricking the oil prone areas that it has sufficient oil and will not over produce! Tarte's maracujia oil is phenom!! If you have an ulta near you it will be on sale at the end of the month!

I've been using olive oil but it isn't helping:( sadly I don't have an ulta near by but thank you.
