What do you ladies out there recommend for dry/dehydrated skin?? I just bought Yes to Cucumbers moisturizer and I like it, but I'm afraid my poor skin has just been torn apart by Proactiv (which I quit using!!) Any recommendations for great hydrating masks or anything??
Oh, proactiv is sooo bad for people with dry and/or sensitive skin.
My first bit of advice, put down the foaming cleanser and step away. You want to switch to a cream or oil cleanser. Oil cleansing is *amazing* for dry skin. I switched from cream to oil in novemeber and my skin has never been better.
I did a blog post on tips and products I use to survive the winter without turning into a crocodile all over http://www.sincerelysickstyle.blogs...

I use a regular lotion on my dry areas. But not all over. Proactive really did a number on my face as well and now I'm afraid to use anything
