@hisschoolblowup: …
@hisschoolblowup: Thank you for your kind words! Oily skin and dry skin in some spots indicate combination skin. If that is the case, you should use an acne-appropriate cleanser in the zone where you have the oily skin, which is usually the T-zone, and a separate cleanser for gentle or dry skin in the area thats dry which is usually the cheeks. Afterward, you should use a water-based or oil-free moisturizer in those same dry spots.

summer is hot and …
summer is hot and humid. humity=water in the air. your skin, unless you have some other issue, isn’t dry in the summer (unless you’re in az or something). the air is always dry in the winter. that’s why you get winter dry skin. if water was bad for your skin, your skin would be extra dry in the summer. has every lotion you’ve used made your skin even dryer?? no

@jennyhestnes …
@jennyhestnes Actually, water is necessary to moisturize your skin and you’ll see it as the first ingredient in most moisturizers. When you add water to your skin, your skin’s evaporation system will try to evaporate the water. However, it’s a slightly inefficient system so a little water will be left. Thus, water alone isn’t a great moisturizer, so moisturizers include other ingredients to ensure that the most important moisturizing ingredient, water, is locked into your skin.

@jennyhestnes – …
@jennyhestnes – water applied to the face (ie washing) does have a drying effect but as an ingredient in a moisturizer it does not dry out the skin, and along with the other ingredients attracts and holds moisture on/in the skin.

Shouldn’t you …
Shouldn’t you mention that water dries out the skin? Since it was the first ingredient on all 3 of those moisturizers you mentioned? Which means that Eucerin’s moisturizers will actually make the problem worse..
