Combination skin - anyone able to help?

[fartmeistergeneral]

It's greasy, and a few spots (am 40!!). Anyway, I feel like over the years I've tried so many things, and here I am, at my age, with still the same problem.

I shine like a beacon. I've tried using skin products for oily/shiney skin and they dry my skin so much it feels awful, and ends up producing double the amount of oil so the skin is still shiney.

I should be using combination skin products I guess - which I have no doubt used over the years although there have been so many not sure what I've tried.

Any recommendations? Either cleanser/moisturiser or something that will control this bloody shine!

I use powder foundation every day, and loose powder on top.

Liz Earle - her products are fab!

I second liz Earle, I use the cleanse and polish and there really is nothing else like it (yes I have tried all the fake copy cat stuff but always go back to LE)

Best foundation I have found is channel matt lumiere and I have the compact foundation too which I use to top up the shiny nose through the day (but use the liquid in morning)

Chanel obviously. Would that iPad autocorrect were a person, I could happily then strangle him. Pedantic little arse.
