my skin is so dryy..

[Faces of Fortune]

In addition to the advice of washing less with better cleansers, not soap, this advice is SO IMPORTANT; 1 tbsp of olive oil and day and Flax oil can be obtained in caps if you hate the taste of the bottled (like I do).

And the old advice of 8 glasses of water a day is OLD NEWS....better off doubling that. If you feel thirsty, you already are dehydrated.

The last supplement I advise if essential: Fish oil caps! You can get a one a day or twice a day. Shallow Girl is right on with her statement of working from the inside out! Also EXERCISE...it will make your skin glow and you'll feel both energized and have greater self esteem....just like a new hairdo or outfit.

It will help you to consume olive oil or flax seed oil. This will moisture you from inside and you will have very pretty healthy skin.

Water also to drink it is a benefit for you, so don't forget to drink it!
Well these are things I do in my daily life. People compliment me for my glowing complexion.

It's clear that your main problem here is washing your skin too much, which is getting rid of your skins natural oils causing your skin to dehydrate and dry. Be careful when washing ur skin too, no scrubbing as this will cause further damage, use circular motions when applying a face wash and be gently especially around your eye area. Using warm water (NOT HOT!) will open up your pores and help you penetrate into the skin, removing dirt and residue. If you have sensitive skin used perfurme free moisturisers and exfoliators to remove dead skin cells. Also drink lots of water, that's a simple trick to hydrating your skin.

Make sure you don't exfoliate it too much.Use good moisturizers every day.

Don't wash your face more than twice a day, don't use agressive products and prefer gentle cleanser based on natural ingredients.
Drink as much water as you can and eat healthy food (fresh fruits and vegetables).
Also, you need a good moisturizer. Brands like Avene, Melvita or Juara have excellent moisturizers.
Good luck!

Actually, washing your face three times a day is good & you should keep up with that routine. But if you have dry skin, you might want to go for a cleanser that's specially made for dry skin. Usually when you have face cleansers that contain Salycilic Acid or Benzyl Peroxide, they tend to dry out your face even more, so if your face cleanser contains any of those, you might want to go for a product that contains a lesser percentage in it. There are treatments out there for dry skin. And as for it peeling, use a face scrub at least twice a week to get rid of all the dead skin. And before you go out and buy a new cleanser, sodium laureth/laurel sulfate is in a lot of cleansers, and strips your face of it's natural moisture- so get a cleanser that doesn't have that in it either.

your skin is good that's why it is dry or you can use moisture for this

ask a pharmacist

with wahtever else your doing to your skin, you should get one of the face spritz bottles from the body shop, the have them in vitamin C and vitamin E. they just spray gently over your face and moisturize your face really nicely without taking off your makeup. its uper easy just to carry in your bag as well!

hope that helped

What moisturizing face wash do you use or recommend? I've struggled with this too. My skin is oily. If I wash it once daily, by the end of the day it's oily and I break out. If I wash it more than once, it gets dry, I use mositurizers and I break out. ARgh. YOu can't win.
