Here's a beauty riddle for you...

I need some advice...Here it goes. I'm not sure what kind of skin care and make-up products I need to be using. I am 28 years old but I fear that I am aging very poorly.  I already have deep wrinkles and the really bad part is that I often experience adult acne as well.  My pores are huge.  I've never had so many issues with my skin at one time.

Here's the real clencher.  When I am not wearing makeup, my skin is dry.  After I wash my face (regardless of brand/type of cleanser) my face is tight and dry.  When I put on foundation or powder (also regardless of brand/type) it applies dry.  But then an hour or so later my face is super oily. 

I have no idea what to buy for skincare & makeup products.  It's easy to say, buy something for combination skin but I don't think it's that simple.  I've found plenty of anti-aging products for dry skin and plenty of pore minimizing oil free products for acne-prone skin, but I cannot find a happy medium.

Whatever do I do?  Has anyone had any luck with either the Neutrogena or Olay Anti-Blemish/Anti-Acne products or does anyone know of any other brand that offers that combination?

Help me before I look like a zitty version of my 55 year old mother at age 28....
