Help! really dry face

[bond_girl]

I don't have time for a toner and stuff like that. I only use a facial wash at night and use moisturizer and sunblock in the morning. My skin is really really dry. I tried shifting to other moisturizer but it's still the same. What should I do?

Well seeing as you dont have time for products how about trying an intensive moisturiser, I use nivea soft intensive moisturising creme and i love it! for me its the only moisturiser that gets rid of flakes and dry skin straight away. Also use a night moisturiser!

Great idea, I might even try that....

Definately use a night cream. The best drugstore brand I've used is the Dove anti-aging night cream. It comes in a cute little pot and actually lasts FOREVER. A little goes a long way.

If you're skin is dry you shouldn't really be using a toner anyways. You're face wash could be too harsh for your skin and drying it out.

The Silkia camellia oil I use is very hydrating and really makes my skin look great. It keeps my skin moisturized all day. Perhaps you could consider using an oil.

Try using a heavier moisturizer anything with rich or intensive on the label and use a night cream too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

cetaphil moisturizing cream in the white and green tub is excellent!!! its great on blotchy red dry spots and its not greasy.

veseline, olive oil or jojoba oil. they work for me when my skin is dry.

Almay has a moisturizer for dry skin that works even better than vaseline for me! If you use it at night, it should help to make your skin feel normal by the morning.

I don't use this moisturizer in the morning because it makes my makeup slide off (and I have dry skin!).

I agree with the vaseline. My skin was insanely dry and I put a tiny thin layer on the dry spots at night and in the morning if I needed. Also, bring your moisturizer in the bathroom and after you shower, pat your face and then slab on the moisturizer to seal in the moisture.

Be careful with the Vaseline, it may cause a breakout if your skin is very sensitive. Good luck!

My choice is Philosophy's Hope in a Jar. It really seems to help my skin.

Vaseline or a drop of olive oil as mentioned seems to always do the trick

A gentle cleanser that doesn't strip your face and a really thick nighttime moisturizer. I've been using the DHC Extra Nighttime Moisture and I really like it b/c it leaves my face totally soft. I also use Nivea Creme sometimes when it gets really cold and dry. I'll even use it in the morning -- I just dab a little bit on my driest spots and let it absorb, then apply my moisturizer w/sunscreeen as usual.

I use a night cream from Marcelle (Canadian brand). Also RoC makes good cleansers and moisturizers (Enydrial line) for dry skin. My skin becomes dry and more sensitive in the winter . Also exfoliating once a week will help remove dead skin cells and help the moisturizer sink in. My skin is sensitive so I use RoC Gommage Exfoliating Cream, really gentle on the face.

jergens of eucerin lotions.u can get them anywhere

another good tip- if your skin is flaky, you can use a washcloth to scub that away. make sure your skin is softened from warm water first, scrub with washcloth, then use a good moisturizer.

 

[blonde65]

I agree, gentle exfoliation would probably help too.

Try Aubreys all natural products. I have really dry sensitive skin also and this is the only thing I have found that wont burn my face. I have even tried the soy products for sensitive skin from bath and body works and this still irritates my face. But Aubreys products work great, very moisturizing and mild! Just google Aubreys organics and the web site should pop up or audreysallnaturalshoppe.com carries aubreys products for good prices and the service is great. I hope this helps you!!
