have combination/oily skin and recently (past 6 months or so) my cheeks and nose have gotten red, splotchy, and bumpy. i havent changed the skin care products ive used in a long time (clean and clear) do ya'll recommend aubrey organics, black african soap, or aubrey nicoles skin care products? also i use everday minerals makeup and have really painful dry chapped lips...any suggestions for that?

I haven't tried any of those Skin Care lines you mention. But I did a search and found a couple threads that might help. As for your lips, I LOVE Burt's Bees Lip Balms and they have a new medicated one with Clove Oil which is awesome!! Give that a try!

I would recommend you try the Eucerin skin care line...Ulta usually has the best selection, but some drug stores carry it as well.

I also love Aveda's intensive hydrating mask (a clear gel)...it helps to even out my skin (dry/oily spots) and heal blemishes or unknown bumps. It is completely oil-free.

I know this sound crazy but at night put a rich handcream on your lips...like Aveda Hand Relief or any number of other brands with shea butter and vitamin E...then seal it in with a little petroleum jelly. Its like a moisturizing mask for your lips.

You only need 8 more! Go introduce yourself to 8 people in User Intros. Or if you just use the search feature for the Skin Care forum (it's in the upper right corner of the skin care forum), type in Aubrey Organics and Black African Soap and that's how I found all those links!

i always have clients that come in with your problems.. but the skin care line that i sell is a bit pricey but i have seen it work wonders..

i use Guinot, you can get it in high end day spas, ive even seen a couple products on sale on ebay..

you should look for Purifying cleansing foam, microbiotic toning lotion and pure balance mouisturizing cream, but def what i LOVE the most and cant get enough of is the Gommasque.. its an exfoliant and mask in one.. it makes your skin SUPER smooth and when you notice any minor breakout thats under the skin. this is amazing for it..

i use this line and i always use it before my period comes.. we always break out before and after and it works wonders on me! it is a bit pricey but it is well worth it

also if you have used a skin care from the drug store for long periods of time your skin gets used to the product and then doesnt react to it when you really need it..

looking for a great skin care is really tough i know.. but try to get a couple samples from a spa and see how you like them, test them out before puttin your whole wallet into it...

Good luck!!

For your lips, I recommend carmex and burt's bee's lipbalms.

I also have combination skin and I use the Eminence Organic Skincare line. I like it alot!

i suggest Weleda's almond cream, the best i've used so far. for your chapped lips, vaseline, shea butter, and if you want to treat yourself, try Nuxe's rêve de miel lipbalm, a bit expensive but really effective and lasts long. lol i second the rich handcream idea, try for example neutrogena's handcream (you can also get their lipbalm, it's great).

if you're looking for something moderately priced i would suggest aveeno clear complexion products. they're salicylic acid and soy based and do a great job of keeping my oily-acne prone skin under control.
