I need help!
After I wash my face, my skin gets extreeeemely dry. That's just insane how dry it becomes. I moisturize my face and then it gets way too oily! I don't know what to do! Do you know a moisturizer that doesn't make your skin oily? Or anything.. A mask or something.. I'm so lost. Lol

Try OCM. It is serious the best thing I have ever done for my skin. It's not only not-dry anymore, but my skin tone is more even and just looks way better. I don't even have to use foundation anymore unless I want to, just BB cream. My skin hasn't been this good since before puberty! Lol

It good be your cleanser to if you are using one with ance soultion in it, or if it's a foaming one the have a lot of alcohol in them which strips the skin of your natural oils making it dry. I would suggest a gentle face wash followed with moisturizer.

You need to work out whether your skin is dry (skin type - aka oily, normal) or dehydrated (skin condition - aka acne, rosacea). Dry skin is caused by a lack of oil production and therefore needs oil based moisturisers. Dehydrated skin is caused by lack of water in the skin due to things like harsh cleansing and weather conditions. To treat dehydrated skin you need to use water based moisturisers with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid (they attract water to the skin). If your skin gets oily throughout the day then it's probably dehydrated and not dry.
Also this blog posts about dry vs dehydrated skin is great : http://www.carolinehirons.com/2011/11/dry-or-dehydrated-cheat-sheet.html?m=1

Look for an oil free moisturiser, dermalogica stocks one "multi-active moisturiser" light-weight and oil-free.

Make sure you also tone after cleansing.

I use the Clinique moisture surge cream. It's works great and I doesn't make your skin oily. Also it leaves your skin very soft.

Exfoliate your face to get rid of dry skin flakes/patches. You can use a halved lemon rubbed in granulated sugar for a cheap and easy brightening exfoliator.
Then, use some sort of mask to absorb oil and restore glow. Some examples of masks could be oatmeal honey, cinnamon honey, and egg white with lemon juice.
Once you mask, your skin will feel normal and refreshed. at this point you can use something like aloe vera gel, which is absorbed quickly by the skin. :)
