How do I get rid of dry patches of skin on my face?

Answer 1

use a deep moisterizer and change whatever face wash your using. this is from experience.

Answer 2

You mentioned using an oil-free moisturizer, so I'm guessing that maybe you have oily skin and possibly some pimples/acne. Do you use any acne medication? If so, you might decrease the frequency of use now that you are in a different climate. Also, be sure to apply your moisturizer immediately after exfoliating. Just pat your face dry and apply it. Then the moisturizer will actually seal in the moisture on your freshly scrubbed skin before it has a chance to flake again. Also, you said you are using a fine scrub. Try a sugar scrub instead. You can even just mix some white or brown sugar up with a little skin cleanser or moisturizer in your palm and then apply it.

Answer 3

It really depends on what you mean by dry patches. If it's flaky skin, sometimes a a facial scrub will be enough to remove excess dead skin on the face. However, if the patches are caused from your skin having a reaction to a drying agent, such as a cleanser with benzyol peroxide, it is absolutely not recommended to use any scrubs. Definitely use a moisturizer either way, preferably with a sunscreen.

I suffer from the something, but I have eczema on my skin. I plan on going to the doctor in the next couple of months. I recommend using a cleaners for sensitive skin and also a good moisturizer. I carry Aveeno in my pocket book every where I go and it works.

Answer 5

Do you also have oily skin? If yes, sharptr and its_going_down have hinted at the solution. It is probably eczema and or a fungus infection. But best to see a dermatologist. The dermatologist will likely prescribe a hydrocortozone, which you can also get over the counter, and/or an antifungal such as Nizoral (which can also be bought over the counter as a shampoo).

Answer 6

I have found that a little vitamin E oil applied just before I go to bed is very effective in stopping dry skin.

Answer 7

Never use soap on your face. Yes you have to wash it but use a moisturising cream instead or just plain water and a face cloth. I used to use Noxcema when I was a teenager, now I use Oil of Olay. its great.
