If you can get to a chemist / pharmacy. try to see if they sell a lotion call Eucerin 5 % or 10% cream. its really gentle, and not as heavy as vaseline and is excellent for dry skin . failing that Bio-oil . or if you cant get out to the shops. lip- salve or olive oil or lightly applied vaseline may help ease the problem temporarily.
Good luck, and have a lovely date

Vaseline may be an outstanding direction - yet please, do not USE ASTRINGENT. No 1/2 knowledgeable dermatologist, cosmetologist or make up artist may show you how to to placed an alcohol depending product on your dermis - quite dry dermis. Astringents are meant to lessen oil on the outdoors of your dermis. It also has some exfoliating consequences - yet astringents are staggering left for brilliant, pimples companies dermis, throughout warm humid months. it will make your dermis dry, and it may reason a burning sensation. Your dermis desires some love, no extra torture!! So, definite, use a heavy accountability moisturizer it quite is "non-acnegenic" that is the hot capture word you'll see (or non-comedegenic). Layer it on and allow it sit down there for an hour - using a touch extra after it soaks in. Use a dry face textile to buff away the cream. you should apply an exfoliator, yet be sure it has "man made" granules in it. i comprehend that maximum folk imagine that "all organic" is staggering, yet even as it contains exfoliators, man made beads are round and gentle, as adversarial to "organic" granules that are difficult and may worsen dermis, making it pink and painful. note some extra moisturizer earlier using your make up. good success!

use a warm washcloth to gently slough away some of the flakes after a shower. while skin is still wet put on some gentle lotion or cream and it will look and feel a lot better

Start using Cetaphil face wash and lotion - it cleans good without drying your skin and it'll prevent this from happening again. For NOW, just lotion it up ...
