Hey guys! So I recently have started to notice that my skin has slowly been getting more dry. It could be because of the weather. It's been so dry that I catch myself scratching my face especially around the nose area and on he sides of my face picking off dead skin. Ugh! Anyway, what would you guys recommend to help with he dryness? I think I should exfoliate so I'd love to know about a great exfoliant. Plus I've been using my Smashbox bb cream lately that I love because it's hydrating since it's water based but I've been a bare minerals devotee for about 6 years now and I feel as though it doesn't sit well on my skin. Should I change to a liquid? If so I'd love recommendations for that as well! I also do use a primer and my Josie Maran Argan oil under my bare minerals and it still seems dry lately. Thanks in advance! Sorry about the long post, I'm a talker and can go on for days! I've noticed a lot of you ladies have great input :)

I used to have dry skin too but now I don't have any at all, I don't know exactly why I think it is because I exfoliate every week with a light exfoliant otherwise it may be too harsh on my skin, I live in the uk and I use 'simple kind to skin smoothing facial scrub' it is amazing and has added vitamins in it too!, I also use e45 cream every day and night and under my makeup because it is specifically for dry skin conditions, jt really helps:)

Also 'yes to carrots' is a good exfoliant as it removes all dry flaky bits(:

If you need a good moisturizer for nighting I use cetaphil mositurizing cream it's in a round tub. I have eczema so my skin gets really dry and itchy, can also peel sometimes too. It's been my holy grail product for years now. Hope that helps :)

Try a sugar scrub for a gentle exfoliant, and lightly pat your face with extra virgin olive oil after you wash it. It's the best moisturizer ever.

Thank you soo much for your advice ladies!! I'm going to try each of these remedies :) I use the cetaphil cleanser so I'm going to check out the moisturizer and I'm going to check out the yes to carrots exfoliant as well! I work at a Walgreens so I hope we carry the exfoliant, I know we have the moisturizer for sure. Thanks again!

Coconut oil is a lifesaver when I have dry flaky skin x

Use raw honey from the store and let it sit on your face as a mask for 30 mins to an hour. It will hydrate your face like no other thing. Use oils to moisturizer at night such as argon oil, jojoba or coconut oil. Hope this helps. If you want to use the honey as an exfoliator put nutmeg in it. Good luck.
