I want the reverse, i have oily skin and face expecially. I see guys smoking with dry face, and i was thinking of joining them, but considering the risk i shunned it, any other solution?

Try the skin repairing lotion called eucerin.I suffered dry skin for a longtime but not anymore.The other option u could do is use glycerine or olive oil.However,the two have a sticky feel if applied directly on the skin.It's better to mix with your favorite lotion & then apply to your skin.

Dextra: Fellow Nairalanders, I come before you this day with hope that you will provide solution to my problem. I find it very difficult getting a good body lotion that will be perfect for my skin type. I don't know much about my skin type though, but I know my skin easily gets dry, I sweat easily, I hardly get rashes or acne.

I used to be lighter than I am now but due to constant Abuja sunshine and stress my skin looks dark and dull. I don't have any specific body lotion, I've used several of them ranging from Jergens, Nivea, Swiss Collagen, Dove, etc but non of these lotions seem perfect for me.

Few years back, my skin was so fine when I was using Venus Skin toning cream and it was so perfect, all of a sudden I couldn't find it in the market. I really need your help.

I need a lotion that will give and maintain moisture in my skin, that won't make me sweat and won't bleach my skin (Cos I love my skin color), just even skin toning.

please you can recommend any good lotion you know irrespective of the price, I can afford it. I really need your help. I need a good lotion I can stick to.

Thank you. God bless

you can use clear essence 'cup' not lotion, mix it with 'Neutrogena body oil' then apply morning and night.

pls house,Queen helene egg york lightening shower and olive oil egg york lightening shower which one is the best.Thank you.

Another option I forgot to mention,it might sound awkward but it works magic.Cow oil,I mean the oil applied on cows just before milking,it's very gentle on human skin and has some healing qualities.

srivastava: I think Nivea is the best,

thats my cream.......love every bit of it

For dry skin try Garnier Body Hydralock Moisturising Milk

You won't believe your skin could look so moisturised within 24 hrs.

It is nothing short of magic !!!

you need a moisturizing cream, and use only moisturizing soap like lux or joy soap. i use Pears baby cream and it works magic for me

Try dudu osun

Have you tried changing your diet ?

Consume more oily fishy based foods.

Most times it is not all about what we rob on our skin, but what goes into our body.

Also try oily fruits like avocados, coconuts and bananas..

Give your body at least 2 weeks to see the difference. Then you can go ahead and use skin products..

i was had this issue, i subscribe to mtn play....and in one of the skin care tips, honey was recommended. i tried it and it workde. now i do take my bath without creaming, and my skin is not dry.

victorian: At pple looking for toning creams? It's not every fair person, some specific toning creams works for and have desired results . Like the Vaseline lotion , av used it before but it makes my face and body very oily.. Lemon fresh makes my skin sweat for no reason . Until I bumped into a carotene cream and viola! I had a perfect smooth cream.. All am saying is,ask a professional in skin toning , to check your skin type and the type of cream to use.
Self medications can ruin that lovely skin.

did u mix it or did you rob it one after another please teach me.

do not use clear essence or any cream that contains hydroquinone,u can go online to check the side effects of this substance,also dont use any lotion or cream that contains paraben,however,i will recommend palmers cocoa butter formular for anyone,it works.

My best bet for You is to use a cream called PHYSIOGEL. Physiogel moisturizes without making you sweat and it equally does not in any way tones or bleaches your skin. its quite new in the market but you should be able to get it in big malls(Shoprite and NEXT) in Abuja, PH, Lagos, Kaduna and pharmacies also.
A trial will more than convince you.

Chizee01: hey am in abuja too and light in complexion have you tried clear essence i have been using it for years now.
or u can try skin success.

hey. The ones tone. They will make u lighter.
