Answer 1

You may not necessarily have dry skin, but a skin condition called sebborheric dermatitis. It's makes you think your skin is dry. It's actually a fungus (similar to dandruff). Try an over the counter cortisone cream. If that helps you may need to see a doctor & get a prescription. Mine is a mixture of ketoconazole & Eladil. The reason you shouldn't use cortisone cream all the time is because it will age your face. I thought my skin was dry & the more I moisturized it, the worse it seemed to be. Now I use my prescription only when the condition flairs up. Good luck. 2D.

Answer 2

Jane,

I think if you read labels and find a facial regime that is pure and natural it will help - Arbonne does offer wonderful products, but read labels all around. (so they are pure and botanical)
A toner (after you wash) is a wonderful way to balance your face while helping the pores.

Also once a week you should hydrate your face with a deep cleaning mask -
and twice a week get rid of dead skin cells with an exfoliant.
If this problem doesn't self adjust to your new regime and products see your MD.

Drink water
take vitamins a e and c orally -

be sure not to use any creams with mineral oils in them.

proactive.
