Dry Skin-In need of a wonder moisturizer
14/f
I've always had oily skin, but over the summer I've developed really dry skin as well, I assume because of puberty, etc. It varies in how peely it is, but lately its been ridiculously peely- it looks like I rolled my face in a bowl of dandruff at times. It's also only on certain parts of my face, currently in the "goatee" area, which I don't do anything to differently to. I stopped using my Differin acne medication, as well as any other products that may have irritated my skin. For moisturizer I use Lubriderm for extra dry skin, as well as Aveeno. They don't help much, as soon as my skin absorbs it, I start flaking again. Can anybody recommend a moisturizer that works wonders for extra extra dry skin, or prescription moisturizer? Most of the average drug store over-the-counter ones don't help me. Sorry that this was rather long.

im 18. and a girl. but i have combonation skin.. all that means is my face can be oily and then dry in some palces. the best thing to do is wash your face to get rid of the bad oils, but to make sure you use a really light lotion like.. aveeno. fragrence free oil free. nature mosturiser. it goes on dry but it really helps. i say wear it to bed and make sure you WASH YOUR FACE. i used differn since i was liek 14. and i mean.. it works... but it made my skin SO dry it would crack and bleed. that was HELL because i wear makeup. i think that washing your face will light soap, which irritates your face, and a light lotion works best..

i have the same problem on my legs...I use olay quench body lotion for extra extra dry skin...they also make it in a facial lotion...you will notice a difference in a matter of a week...but if your skin is peeling really badly it might actually be a skin disease...my friend has one, and what your describing sounds like what she has...you might consider talking to a dermatologist about your problem and see if he or she can help you figure something out and tell you if it's more that just dry skin.

I have the same problem with dry skin, exept it is on my hands. What really helped me was Johnsons Nurishing Renewal Lotion it took my dry skin away in, from what I remember, 3 weeks :)
