Dry and Oily Skin

I've always complained about having oily skin, but lately there has been a strange phenomena occuring on my skin's surface. It has been afflicted with tiny bumps that itch but aren't red, nor are they pimples. I thought they were hives, or some sort of allergic reaction my skin care products. But how strange, my routine hasn't changed, nor have I eaten anything to really warrant an allergic reaction. So I haven't been putting on any makeup because not only do I not want to further irritate it and also because My foundation or powder seems bumpy and uneven when I apply it. So what happened? Dry skin.

What? Dry skin... I've never..but my skin is so oily..I've never thought of it as dry skin, but my sister, who has worked at a dermatology and also has dry skin touched my skin once and said, yup dry skin. So her solution was to change my regular moisturizer, which is liquidy and water, and light to this.
Clinique's Moisture Surge sold for $34-46.50 st Sephora. This is my sister's regular moisturizer so I managed to steal some and try it out. Lo and behold, two to three days later, the bumps started to disappear, and while it hasn't fully healed, it has gotten a lot better. Maybe it's the weather, since its been really erratic here in NY, or maybe its just something else, but for now, this stuff is like gold to me. I probably should have done a before and after, but I'm sorry I forgot. So until my skin heals, no makeup, but that means my monstrous tube of BB cream is going unused. Btw I only have half of it left, but its preventing me from buying other foundations and now I can't stand it. Trips to Sephora and drugstores are on hiatus and I still haven't used that madness coupon and it's driving me angry. Oh well, until then I'm just going to be sitting on my hands, hoping for no more impulse buys.
