I've recently noticed my skin has become blotchy and I have some dry patches that look really horrible (I can't cover with make-up).
I currently just use a Molton Brown facial cleanser and it's not helping! Any suggestions or tips?!
I recently quit smoking (4 weeks) and I had mild acne as a teenager, if this has any relevance.

I had terrible skin then i found an amazing range from Australia, it's the worlds first certified organic range of make up and skin care, my skin has totally cleared up and i did a facial for my little sis who has terrible acne on her forehead, her skin looked so much better after, all the spots had drained out and it looked much less angry and sore, never seen anything like it before , bloody miraculous. It's called MiEssence and it doesn't have any synthetic chemicals in it at all. All the ingredients are 100% beneficial for skin. The website is really educational and if you hit the contact us button you can get a free consultation from a representative who gives you all this free info so you get the most out of the products, it's so cool and the products last for ages and aren't as expensive as you would think for Organic.

Make sure you drink A LOT of water because drinking about 6-8 glasses a day will help keep your body hydrated and will help your skin be less dry. Or you could find a lotion that is recommended by dermatologists those most likely will help your skin if you use it every day for awhile till your skin starts to become less dry.

I am a beauty consultant with Mary Kay and at 25 years old found my skin to be that of a teenager after I quit smoking. I suggest you go on line to MaryKay.com and find a consultant in your area. depending on where you live the climate can really affect your skin condition. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day- I know that's hard but it will help to clear out and imperfections in your skin. Also you need to moisturize whether you skin is dry or oily. the key is to find a product or combination of products that will keep your skin balanced. Mary Kay can help you w/ that. If you like you can go to my website: klosquadro@marykay.com and I'll help you.

I've been a consultant with Arbonne for a while now. They have a great anti-aging line that can help with these issues.
They also have a 45 day money back guarantee on all of thier products.
Best of luck! I know how frustrating it is when our skin isn't looking it's best.

I've had this same problem. My skin is very sensitive though so I'm careful about what I put on it. Try AMLACTIN lotion (not the cream). You have to get it from a pharmacy (Walmart) but you DO NOT need a prescription. Just ask them for it. Use it on the dry patches and they will clear right up.

i suffer from this also i exfoilate at least once a week with a facial scrub .. i use decleor concentrate nourishment oil ,i put it on b4 my moisturiser let it settle for 5 mins then put on moisturiser i also use decleor flower nectar moisturising cream ,some people say they dont like decleor as it has plant extracts and essential oils and can be abit heavy on the skin but it agrees with me maybe you should try it ...its really just the cold winter setting in, it can dry out your skin ,but congratulation for giving up smoking as it is real bad for drying out your skin too.. just a combination of both really . good luck

What your using is obviously not working. Keep off the make-up for a while. I use witchazel to cleanse and heal my spots. It works every time. It will look worse if you try to cover it up. Sort your skin out. If it gets really bad go to your doctors in case it is something else. Good Luck it will sort out. Finally my spots have cleared up with antibiotics.

I hace trouble with dry patchy areas, I don't use any harsh products and just use BIO-OIL which is great!
