Forehead "bumpy and oily"

[QueenofBlah]

My dear son just told me that my forehead (and the rest of my face if I'm honest) is bumpy and oily quote. The problem is that I have sensitive, red, acne prone skin. To cover it I use a mask of foundation and panstick. This looks ok when freshly applied but soon looks shiny, especially in this hot weather. Can anyone help? I feel so low about my looks.

Do you scrub your forehead to try and get rid of the bumps? I used to have them until I stopped exfoliating that area constantly. It got worse for about two weeks and then started getting better until the bumps disappeared.

Now I just wipe with a facecloth, no scrubbing or exfoliating that area or they come back.

Thanks Gummy but no I don't do any scrubbing of my face because I am so prone to redness.

What skin care products do you use? Trouble with a thick layer of foundation and pan stick is that they tend to clog the skin up even further.

I once heard from a beautician that 'lots of tiny little bumps under the skin' was because the moisturiser you use doesn't agree with your skin or you are using to much moisturiser and need a more lighting one.

Do you use salicyclic acid? If you use this and stop applying foundation they may go.
