Re: make up and moisturiser in winter?
In the winter - I actually switch from moisturizer to oil. Oil does an amazing job of keeping my skin looking fresh and healthy. I use retinol products and that adds to it.
Currently, I am using organic rosehip oil. I have also used emu and argan oil with really good results.
For cleansing, I use the OCM method in the winters specifically because my skin tends to flake and no cleanser I've tried has been able to restore balance the way OCM does.
Once in a while, I might use the Neutrogena extra extra gentle cleanser.

Same here....OCM + rose hip oil...it's the best regimen for my combination skin
Re: make up and moisturiser in winter?
I actually spoke to a dermatologist about this who told me that putting ANY type of oil (including organic rose hip oil which is what I was using) is suicide for acne prone skin. Acne prone skin is generally already oil and by putting more oil on you are not helping matters (and I have naturally dry skin!). What I do is use Biotherm Aqua Source cleanser, toner and moisturiser in summer and winter which makes my skin really hydrated and also an SPF 30 sunscreen following the moisturiser but I don't know whether Biotherm is available in Pakistan (although you could probably buy it online if you wanted to give it a try). I have tried countless products and nothing works as good as this to get my skin in good condition.
Re: make up and moisturiser in winter?
^ wow...that's strange. Ever since I started doing the oil cleansing method, witch hazel for toner and rose hip oil, I honestly have not had a single break out or pimple. It's been about a year now since I've been on this regimen.
Now granted, I don't have a huge acne problem per say, and my skin is not super oily, but it is combination and I would get the occasional pimple on my cheek area.
Re: make up and moisturiser in winter?
^ Getting an occasional pimple is not the equivalent of having acne prone skin. Therefore this routine may work for you but, as per the advice of a dermatologist, putting oil on acne prone skin is not sensible even if it is organic rose hip oil. Acne prone skin should avoid oil and the focus instead needs to be on ensuring a good cleansing and exfoliating routine is in place along with a very light moisturiser.

try loreal hydrafresh moisturizer before putting on foundation

I'm not a dermatologist but I must say I disagree with this mainly based on my own personal experience. My skin is actually acne prone. I dealt with moderate acne on a regular basis all through my teen years and well into my 20's. I've done OCM using the following oils: argan, rose hip, avocado, emu. Never experienced any negative side effects from it. I have a difficult time believing my skin is really that special. I do agree that OCM will not work for everyone & have no doubt that in some people, it will aggravate the acne. But based on how my own acne prone skin has reacted to OCM…..I don't agree that it's suicide or "not sensible" for EVERY SINGLE person out there.
Question mzprincess: How did your skin actually react to the rose hip oil? Did you experience a acne flare up or worsening of the acne as a result of using the rose hip?

I have acne prone skin...so sensitive I jokingly call it radioactive. I have dealt with teenage acne and then adult acne and even now I occasionally deal with redness that threatens to turn into a pimple if I don't up my water intake right away.
Its taken me years to control and calm it down but I finally have nailed it.
I don't believe acne prone skin cannot handle oil...mine handles it every single day. The OCM method is designed to balance oil production so you're not overproducing oil and not under producing it anymore. Its funny because prior to OCM and RH oil, I was flaking a lot due to the exfoliation recommended by skin care professionals. I still exfoliate but much more gently.
It sounded really strange to me too...oil for acne prone skin? Really? Isn't that asking for pore clogging acne? But after taking the plunge and trying it out, I am a believer. The areas that were super oily are not oily anymore and the areas that lacked moisture are supple.
The other thing is...no rule holds true for everyone across the board. Some people break out with OCM as well. You really need to study your skin, get to know it, understand its quirks and what makes it tick in order to achieve good skin.

Have you noticed any benefits with the emu oil with anti aging effects?
Re: make up and moisturiser in winter?
Emu oil I felt definitely made my skin glow more...and felt moisturized thoroughly. I didn't use it long enough to see an anti-aging difference though.
I liked it and if I continued use, I'd probably see more results.

Can you please tell me which oils you use? As in the brand etc? It will be really helpful if you can give me an amazon link I can order. I have been searching for these rose hip/avocado oils in Pakistan and couldn't find them anywhere so I am planning to order them from States through someone.
Re: make up and moisturiser in winter?
I order all oils from either lotioncrafter.com or gardenofwisdom.com. I’ve used the following at various times: avocado, rose hip, emu, argan, jojoba, & cranberry seed oil. I just looked their both sites and it looks like they currently might be out of some of the most popular ones so if you don’t see the oil you’re looking for, just e-mail them to see when/if they’ll get it in stock.
