Severely dry, sensitive skin?

Question

Please help me come up with an affordable (and preferably natural) solution for my skin trouble. The skin on my cheeks is so sensitive, you can't even touch it with bare hands or it flares up bright red and irritated. The skin on my t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) is always so dry, it flakes like I have sunburn. This all prevails no matter what I do.
I have changed detergent, I use no chemicals or artificial things on my face. I never wash it with soap or standard face wash, but I use coconut oil to wash my face every day. In fact, sometimes I will sleep with oil on my face (no, I never break out.) I use all natural make up, but only on my eyes.. I never put anything on my cheeks or nose. No amount of oil or lotion ever seems to help, and I have tried not using moisturizers to see if they were the cause, and it only got much worse.And do NOT recommend a dermatologist, I don't have health coverage, nor do I believe in using chemical medication.(asked also in alternative medicine)

Answer 1

Try putting Aquaphor on your cheeks whenever it feels dry. It's like Vaseline but more powerful and less greasy. It's also relatively cheap. You might have ezcema in which case you'll need to get stronger lotions.
