   Apply Bio-oil to your skin at night- it helps cure acne scars (if you have any) but won't give you any spots. It will make your skin look shiny but it won't matter because it's night time and it will moisturise your skin well.I find that the Body Shop's moisturisers for oily skin do make skin flaky (even more my extremely oily skin). I now use Simple's Light Hydrating Moisturiser. It's not too heavy or oily, but still gives moisture where needed. Don't forget to dust powder on LIGHTLY with a brush, covering only areas with shine, such as forehead, nose and chin. This will stop flakiness on the cheeks.Use a facial scrub twice a week to get rid of any flakes and just keep moisturising.Hope this helps. :] x

   You don't need to buy any expensive products to prevent this, all you need to do is before you apply your foundation rub any kind of moisturiser (non-perfumed) onto your whole face, let it dry & then apply you foundation. It works for me & a lot of other women!

   OKAY, here's what you should do… (I use to have the same problem where my foundation would make my nose look really flakey) Well, first of all, is your foundation a powder? If so, maybe you should try using a liquid or cream foundation? If you use a pressed powder foundation then, how do you apply it? I used to apply it with those pads the pressed powder foundations sometimes come with but that would make my nose worse, so I recommend just using a regular brush, it makes a difference trust me.But anyway, I use Neutrogena Combination Skin Moisturizer, I LOVE IT! It makes my skin SO SOFT and my nose isn't flakey anymore. And since it's combination skin it hydrates my nose but doesn't make anything else oily. Also, I apply a hydrating face primer before I put on my make up, it makes my make up last all day and also helps with my dry skin.You can also buy some blotting papers from CVS, I think they're just a couple bucks for a bunch of sheets… just in case your face gets a little shiny
