Flaky skin?

Question

Hi. okay so since its the winter time, my face gets really chapped and gross. i exfoliate twice a week and i've tried a dozen lotions too but when i put make up on, my face looks gross. im not too sure what else to do. can you help?

Answer 1

pick up lotion by Cetaphil and it's in a white bottle with a green label. it's a really gentle lotion and works wonders for flaky skin. when you get out of the shower, rub it on all over your face and let it soak in while you brush your teeth, dry your hair, get dressed, have breakfast, whatever. save doing your makeup for last once the lotion has absorbed and doesn't feel greasy or anything on your face. if you need to, take your towel and just do a wipe-over before you put your makeup on. and stick with a moisturizing liquid foundation and throw a light powder over it. good luck!

Answer 2

wash with a mosterizing soap w/ luke warm water and rinse w/ cold to close pores back up. blot dry and apply a mosturizing lotion such as nutrogena or I like Clinique reapply lotion a few times during the day and wash face again befor ebed and use a night time lotion too. If this doesn't help call a dermetologist.I rarely exfoiliate but if you do use an exfoilation scrub make sure it's one that has tiny particals so it wont scratch or make your face red and light use it.

Answer 3

raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..
the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht...
Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a "very bad complexion". She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!

you can get it at the health food store, or in some super marktet health food sections. i use bragg vinegar..
good luck
Cheryl writes, "My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up."

you can also steam clean your face, heat 1 qt water, add 3 tbpsns acv, drape towel over the pan and your head, let it steam your face, then dab acv with a cotton ball to remove loosened dirt, repeat 2 more times, steaming, then cleaning. then take chilled acv and water, dab it on to tone and close pores..do this weekly..

if you mix it with apple juice, instead of water, to drink, it tastes like apple cider..
