I have really bad dry skin on my face. I think it's from me taking these antibiotics the doctor prescribed for me. But it's on the right side of my face, going from my lip to my eye. I've tried everything there is to try. I've used night products that are supposed to moisturize your face, I've moisturizing creams, gentle face cleansers, and nothing seems to be working. Please help!

Most of those over the counter products don't work or are more harmful. Do a Search on Answers for facial dry skin and you will find that is the experience of many.
Here is a safe, natural, low cost treatment that really works. If you apply to entire face you will find a remarkable curing of dry skin and also of most other skin conditions. Unfortunately we make skin unhealthy by use of soaps, skin cleaners and countless other products that have harsh chemicals and ingredients which harm skin. The way to make skin healthy again is to stop using and use a natural tea tree oil face wash or a very mild cleaner with no harsh ingredients and a regime of massaging face with a nourishing natural oil - coconut oil is excellent. It quickly absorbs and doesn't leave face looking oily. It's best to make the massage quite firm and vigorous. Do this everyday. It's best a night and to sleep without removing oil(use an old towel to protect pillow). You will find it very effective and in about a week you will see a much healthier, vibrant shin. Spots, dry skin, oily skin, large pores etc. will go away overtime if massage maintained. You can then keep up a less frequent massage for it to stay that way. I had countless skin problems incuding seriously dry skin and this treatment completely and permanently rid me of all of them. I have had a totally blemish free, radiantly healthy skin for many years. I found I don't need moisturizers or any other product as my skin naturally moisturizes. Only unhealthy skins need moisturizers and all the many other products that persons with unhealthy skins feel compelled to try and use.

First of all, make sure you are drinking enough water... most 'dryness' is due to dehydration so try and tackle this from the inside out! Drink at least 2l plain water a day and if you can, more. Once that is underway I would also recommend using a cream cleanser (such as the simple one which is under £3) instead of harsh cleaners or soap on your face when you are taking make up off or cleaning at end of day. After cleansing, use a very very gentle toner such as clarins (or the simple one again). Then finish off with a moisturiser - to be honest, you can pay a fortune but the cheaper ones are just as effective. Perhaps something with vitamin e in it from the body shop? If you have cash to splash dermalogica smoothing cream is lovely and it does last forever! If the dry areas are mega mega dry you can try some aqueous cream which is available from boots and is for extreme dry skin/ecxema. You should use this just at night as it stays white on your skin for some time. You should only use a little bit! Good luck and dont forget to drink the water.... trust me it helps!

Sounds like you need something that can cover the dry area and lock moisture in so it can heal. Try using Balmex or Desatin Diaper rash ointment on it when you sleep at night. This will lock in your natural skin's moisture. If the thought of putting diaper rash ointment on your face doesn't sound good you could also try vasoline. Use a thick layer and don't "rub" it in, just layer it on thickly. Then during the day you could alternate by using a moisturizer that is specially formulated for sensitive skin-putting it on throughout the day. Also, cutting out anything that may dehydrate you such as caffeine,smoking, alcohol,etc. can help your skin heal faster too.

I have slightly dry skin around my cheeks. What I've found is the best thing to do is NOT to wash your face with foam or exfoliators. This causes irritation and dryness. Some face washes have salicylic acid which causes dryness for acne, try to buy something without it. And moisturizers, my personal favorite is Aveeno. It may be expensive but it's worth it. My face is a lot less dry because of it. Apply it after a shower, so that your pores are nice and open to absorb the moisture. And have one with natural ingredients, instead of fakes.

I think I get dry skin on my face from shaving, so I use Nivea Creme. It works really well, just use it a few times a day.

Try a good lotion right after you wash. Or if the lotion doesn't do it, there's an oil that I found in a local nutrition store that might help.
Good luck!

Speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
