Face lotion for dry skin.
I have really dry skin on my face. It's most noticeable on my nose. It's constantly flaking and it's really gross.
Usually I just use this blackhead face wash (I also have really black blackheads on my nose), rinse, then wash my face again with moisturizing face wash. It helps a little but my face is still dry and my nose still a bit flaky.
So can anybody suggest to me some good face LOTIONS that they know work? Nothing extremely expensive since I'm 17 and don't have the money to keep re-buying things that cost 30+ dollars.
Also can anybody suggest some good dandruff shampoos? I have really fine, thinish, pin straight hair if that matters at all.

First off, rather than just cleansing your face with a blackhead wash, I highly, highly recommend finding a good exfoliator. That will help buff away some of the layer of dead skin cells on your face that can make it look dull, dry and flaky. I personally am on the hunt for a good one so I don't know of too many I can recommend, but you can do some easy research online and find a bunch of reviews on YouTube for instance. I'm sure you'd be able to find a lot of drugstore options.
As for lotions, the moisturizer I use is the Olay Active Hydrating Beauty Fluid, which you can find for around $8. I apply a generous amount and I don't find that it gets greasy, just leaves my skin nice and supple. Others I've heard good things about are the Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer or the Euricin Facial Moisturizer. If you're willing to go just a bit pricier (not TOO high-end, though; just beyond the realm of drugstore), you should definitely look into Clinique. They specialize in cosmetics that are supposed to be good for your skin, and have different products designed specifically for different skin types, and I'm sure you could find something perfect for less than $30. I suggest the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel/Lotion (especially good for VERY dry skin). The Moisture Surge is good too, but definitely pricier.
Remember though that it's not enough to just have a good moisturizer, you need to find a routine that works for you. everyone is different, but I do suggest applying moisturizer EVERY day, right after you wash your face, and every time before you put on your makeup (but give your skin about 15 minutes to absorb it before applying makeup, don't just do it rright away).
I went through a phase when I started getting a lot of dandruff, and Head & Shoulders worked for me. Plus they now have it in an awesome apple scent. Otherwise I'd look into a shapoo with microbeads to buff away the dead cells in your scalp.

For your face, there are many good brands like Clearasil, Neutrogena, Olay, Mary Kay, and many others that you can get just about anywhere. You should look for ones meant for dry skin (I know Mary Kay has a large selection for dry skin). Try out several brands and stuff more specific to the problems you are having with your face to see what works best for you. If you still have problems after that, try going to see a dermatologist. They have things they can recommend or prescribe to help.
For your hair, some good dandruff shampoos are Head and Shoulders, Herbal Essences, and my personal favorite, Pert. For these, just look for the dandruff types. I've tried all three and they all seemed to help for me. I hope this helped and good luck :)
