I need help!

Hello all,
I have been a fan of silk naturals and have tried several of their face products, my problem I guess is I am just not sure what is the best for my skin. A bit about my skin is that I am 31 and still have acne... but it can be really dry at the same time. My skin also gets red really easy... I had a facial a few months ago and the lady their told me my face was realllllllly dry. Does my face break out because I do not have enough moisturizer on it. I have been using the kiss cleanser and sometimes the apricot oil cleanser.I have used the oatmeal serum, the green tea and aloe serum, the hemp moisturizer and the jojoba moisturizer. I am not sure if these are the right products for me and would like any recommendations. I also have the pore refining toner but am not sure if I am using this correctly.

My questions are this:
1. What products would you recommend for my skin?
2. Can you use the apricot oil cleanser everyday?
3. How do you use the pore refining toner and do you use it everyday?

Please help me, I am going on a cruise and would like to order some products before I go! Any advice would be great.
thanks so much

Oooh that doesn't sound like fun at all. Is your skin dry (lacking in oil) or is it dehydrated? Dehydrated skin is flaky with large pores, and sometimes pools of oil on your nose where your skin is trying to make more oil to deal with the dryness. Skin that lacks oil looks almost kind of leathery, and you tend to see it more on people who've spent a lot of time outside.

Try the Green Tea and Aloe, along with the Hemp Moisturizer and see how that goes- that should hydrate and moisturize. The Firming Moisturizer might be a good thing to try too. I like how the liposomes hydrate my skin (same age, dry skin, but don't really get acne). Personally I use that along with the Super Serum.

For the Pore Refining toner just shake it well, and then kind of scrub at your pores with a cotton ball- then let it soak in and go back and do a little more. The Apricot Cleansing Oil is fine for every day. You may also want to try a sample of the BHA toner, but maybe wait until after your cruise. It sounds fun!

In that case you're going to *love* the Green Tea and Aloe Serum. It works wonders it does to rebalance dehydrated skin (and in the process, yes that helps with the oil balance and re-firming the pores as the skin cells making the pores are firmer and hold their structure better when they've got the right amount of hydration in them). Seal it in with the gelled oil moisturiser(s) and you'll think you've got new skin in a few short weeks. It's nothing short of remarkable, all the more so if (like me) you've got a real problem to sort, that's when dramatic results are seen. Good luck. 8-)
