DRY DRY DRY SKIN!!!

I can't even describe how dry my face skin is. When i scratch my forhead my skin flakes off and it looks like it is snowing!! I've talked to my dermatologist and esthetician who have both recommened things that haven't worked. I'm looking for any help at all be it a face wash, serum or of course moisturizer!!!

My wedding is still 6 months away but everytime i try to wear make up it ends up flaking like my skin and i look polka dotted!!!

I think it may be a 6 month project to get my skin "normal"

thanks in advance!!

I am an Esti, and I also have dry skin.  I would make sure you are using a a scrub with very fine beads...if your skin is flaking then putting extra moisturizer on top of it won't do much good.  You need to sluff it off first.  I would scrub once a week with a gentle scrub (not that apricot crap way too abrasive.)  there's also the Clarsonic, it's a gentle brush you wash your face with...you can get it at Nordies.  Expensive but does a great job, again only use once a week.  Then I would try something natural: Coconut oil, Coco butter, or Vitamin E oil (little caplets)

at night.  Kiehls has a great moisturizer for day.  Ultra Moisture I believe it's called also at Nordies, it's in a little tub.  Also wash with warm water rinse with cool water, Tone, Moisturize, Eye Cream, and SUNSCREEN! Good luck!!   .

For my dry, but acne prone skin, I have started using plain old neosporin on my dry patches. It gets rid of the flakes, doesn't clog the pores, and the antibiotic properties help prevent acne.
