I have had both oily and dry skin in the past. Traveling between hot and cold environments did not help my skin at all. I found that my skin was very dry in England and in Nigeria it was oily.  In the past year and a half or so, I have managed to control my skin so it is now pretty normal. To control my dry and oily skin I used some face masks which helped a lot. Here are a few of them and also some other face masks for other skin types.
