As for me, this WOE has given me combination skin. About a week after I started Atkins, I developed dry patches on both cheekbones. My forehead gets very oily. I haven't broken out, so to speak, but the dry patches on my cheekbones actually got flaky. It has cleared up some over the past few months, but is still dry. All the lotions and creams on the marked have failed. Any suggestions?
