very dry skin on face!!!!!?



its winter now. im 17 yr old girl and i have been getting very dry skin on my face ex under my eyebrows and above eyebrows, my cheeks and sides of face and below my lips on my chin

i exfoliate often ex.when it gets flaky so i can get rid of some of the dead skin coming off.

i do moisturize my face and it covers up the dryness and makes my face look perfectly fine and not dry but i know it is, and if touched seems rough kinda and dry

on my chin it like flakes its kinda unnapealing haha and anoying me. i use all organic products for acne treatment i have very mild acne. but the products i use on my face are all 100% organic. its called boscia


but im wondering what are some good ways i could moisturize my face. vaseline only acts as a cover or film on top of the skin it does not go in and penetrate the skin which is what i need i think
vitamin E oil suposedly penetrates the skin? i dunno much about this
but what are some good ways i can hydrate my skin without using expensive products. example vitamin e oil

anything im willing to try haha and also has anyone had this experience of dry skin on the face and what did you do to fix it?

im jsut trying to hydrate my skin to make it nice and smooth and soft

is there also something i could use as a deep moisturizing mask that i could find the ingredients at home? something that could help make it better all at once or help a bit

  1. use cetaphil totally works! this happens to me all the time.. works after 2-3 days

  2. I have very similar problems! Often in winter (Canadian winter, where I am) I get flaky skin on the sides of my face, a rash on my neck (from wind) and like you, dry skin near my eye brows. I had a "breakout" of this dry flaky skin a few weeks ago and I am finding the best thing is using those exfoliation gloves (and I use just water) once or twice a day. I go pretty rough on mine, its hardy because of years of excema. When my skin is still wet, I put on Mary Kay face cream and this usually helps within a couple of days.

  3. Ive recently started using Olay Foaming Face Wash for sensitive skin.. its EXTREMELY moisturizing it leaves your skin so soft throughout the day. Its very thick & almost feels like its still on your skin when your rinsing, but dosent leave a film. Id use this in combination with Olay Complete Cream, Ponds dry skin cream or Cetaphil Moisturizing cream which is a little bit more expensive. All of those products moisturize very well & since they are all for sensitive skin you dont have to worry about any adverse effects, they are all available at the drugstore! Try the foaming face wash though youll be amazed!
