My skin really confuses me. I have dry skin but a really sensitive, acne prone skin. I shoudnt wear too much mousterizer because it will produce more oil but my skin seems so tight and flakey in some places. Help!!

Your skin is producing oil to compensate for the moisture loss.
I recommend purchasing a moisturizer that is non comedogenic. Cetaphil, CeraVe are both good moisturizers.
To control oil production you can use a non comedogenic oil like Argan, Jojoba, Hemp, or Rosehip oil. Add 1-2 drops in your moisturizer. Reason being is that your skin is a sensory organ so the more you take the more it makes to compensate for loss of moisture. Using oils will basically trick it into believing that there is already oil produced. So instead of having dirty skin oil you'll have clean oil that will benefit your skin.
