what do u when ur skin is very dry and patchy and u lotion it all the time.?

Question

my skin sucks up all the lotion i put on it and it doesnt help.

Answer 1

You should go to a spa or salon that has a good esthetician and have a facial. Then the esthetician can analyse your skin, see what it needs, and recommend the best products to solve the problems and achieve healthy skin.

Answer 2

That's really probably a question for your dermatologists but Olay Quench is the best lotion I have ever used and Ive tried lots of lotions I mean every one you could think of but Olay will not dry the skin out it gives you moisture for at least 6 hours, which isn't bad compared to other lotions It worked pretty well.

Answer 3

Do you eat a lot of junk food? Or drink a lot of cokes? These two factors are major contributers to the way your skin is. Whatever you put inside your body will show up on the outside. Try to eat more healthier and drink plenty of water.

I had this condition on my arm where it was a dry patch and a little bumpy. This condition went away when I started eating more vegetables and taking in more water. So you may need to do the same thing.

Hope this helps. :)

Answer 4

Could be a skin condition like psoriasis. Go to your doc.

Could be the soap, try glycerine based soaps.

You could be allergic to something in the lotion, try a simple lotion without fragrance.

Answer 5

Most lotions out there have acid and alcohol in them. I use Soypete products and My skin stays silky smooth all the time! I love it!

Your body may be dehydrated. Do you drink plenty of water? Does your skin also peel? If it does then you may have to go and see a dermatolagist because you may have psorisis or another skin condition.
