After I shower, specially in dry times like winter, my face get so dry and I hate using lotion. What can I eat or drink if anything to keep my face from being so dry.

corn huskers lotion (but it's really a gel, not lotion)
If I were you, I'd use sweet apricot oil because it's so effective moisturing your skin [the almond oil molecules are the smallest I believe out of all the oils, so your skin readily absorbs it quickly.
If you wanna do what I do (but it's a pain in the b*tt)
before u go to bed, do a facial sauna (steam) by putting a towel over your head over slightly boiling water. this'll open ur pores. then smother vitamin e all over ur face.
after that, get a warm wash cloth (cut holes in it for ur eyes and nose) place it over ur face all night long when u go to sleep. keep sleeping on ur back. when u wake up yours skin'll look so lovely. if you do this esp. every night for almost a week, I swear people will be like so amazed what the hell u did to look so fantastic!! your skin'll feel sooooooooooooo NICE!! and look like you had some kind of plastic surgery.

If you care about your skin, you will get over the fact you hate moisturizer b/c in the long run, people who use moisturizer every day age very well. You probably have only used garbage moisturzer that made your skin feel oily. Good products arent like that. Also drink water, and stay out of the sun. Don't use very hot water in the shower. But i'm sure the person who answered the question before me gave enough info for a life time.

Well let me tell you one thing i hate lotion to, here is a great way to get rid of the dry patches on your face. First you should go to you local CVS Pharmacy Ask a Cleark if they have any facial washes that get rid of dry skin, dont worry if they laugh at you just tell a white lie and say its for a friend, sister, mother, or girlfriend. You should also always look for cheap deals;) Good luck!

Get body wash with vitamin E & aloe, and when you get out of the shower rub baby oil all over before you dry off. You can also make a salt scrub with olive oil and coarse sea salts to use in the shower.

You can eat more oily fish-- salmon, tuna, ect. Or just take the fish capsule supplements.
One idea that might help is to put facial lotion on right before you go to sleep. Then you will get the benefits, but not notice how it bugs you.
Good luck!!

Vaseline

Drink lots and lots of water and eat lean white meats. These have fatty acids in them that keep your skin fresh, moisturized and glowing.

I know this might sound corny, but it does work and is odorless so you don't smell feminine. Buy regular Johnson's baby soap. It will moisturize and take the dryness away. Good luck!

your skin needs hydration. drink at least one tenth (of your body weight )water per day. you will feel the difference. if you are 60 kgs you should drink 6 litres of water per day.
