    have you tried a gentle cleanser and old fashioned cold cream, the combo works for just about anybody, no matter the skin. I have VERY sensitive dry skin and have had no probs nor has a friend of mine that has oily skin

    Put a little Magick in your night.

    Try to stay away from any products with fragrance/alcohol etc in them
    Try washing woth Cetafil and using pure jojoba oil (from the health food store) as a moisturiser.

    Don't worry about putting oil on your face - jojoba is apparantly the closest substance to natural skin sebum, and it's incredible!
    I'm allergic to everything and my skin comes out in a rash really easily, but cetafil/jojoba is the most amazing combo ever

    The aspirin mask. You can search for it here, Google, or on Makeup Alley. It will exfoliate and cut redness.

    Sounds like roscea maybe? I would say go see your dermatologist, they can give you something to calm your skin down. But, yeah, Cetaphil is pretty much perfect for any skin type. Don't use too much tho, too much of any cleanser will dry it out.
