For the past, maybe 2 weeks, I have been experiencing extreme dryness in my face ( mostly cheeks) where the skin will actually get so dry that it flakes off looking almost as if it were sunburn, only it is not. It is just dryness. I don't scratch it even though it does itch.... and I have been trying moisturizers to keep it from drying... Im just not sure what to do in terms of curing this???
I think it might be from the really cold weather because the same thing happened last year to me, although never before, and it eventually went away, but Id like to find a way to clear this up quickly and prevent it from happening next year.
Any ideas? and have you had this happen? If so, how did you stop this?
Thanks. =)

You might have a seborria or dermatitis on your face, similar to dandruff. I understand from my dermatologist that applying a dandruff shampoo for a few minutes can help.

It's the irritation from the cold and the dry air inside with the heat. It normally can be taken care of with some nice lotion. I use "gloves in a bottle" but there are some really good ones on the market. Get something plain,....no extra scents and chemicals. A baby lotion might be the best.
Long term this actually means there is something missing from your diet. Look at what you are eating and be sure you are consuming fruits and veggies and none or limited fast foods(no nutrition at all)

try hand cream on your face instead of moisturizers, hand creams are thicker and have more deep moisturizing power
good luck

Sleep with a humidifier near your bed and up your usage of moisturizer.
