Dried-Out Skin On My Face!

Dec 17, 2012

Hi everyone I have been following my normal skincare routine from the summer through the fall and winter but my skin is getting completely dried out and flaky this year. Any ideas on types of moisturizer, cleansers, or face masks? I usually have overly-oily skin but the cold air has reversed the problem!

I have the same problem! It really interferes with my makeup application, too. I've started adding coconut oil to my exfoliatiors which really helps. Also...find a good moisturizer. Currently I'm using Clinique dramatically different lotion. I regularly wash my face with cetaphil. And as far as makeup goes...find a good hydrating primer for better foundation application. I recommend Napoleon Perdis auto pilot primer.

Yes!!!! I have really dry skin as well and I use coconut oil on my face as well. Pure vitamin E oil works wonders too.

I just started using maracuja oil and my skin has never been healthier. Its clearing up my breakouts but also keeping my face hydrated without adding oil or a greasy feel. My face is almost never oily or dry, but balanced, finally! So I would try any kind of oil you think you might like and either add it to your exfoliator like Emily mentioned or just put a few drops on before bed.
