Dry Sister

No moisturizer seems to work for my dry skin?

I have really bad dry skin on my face. I get it in my T-zone the most ironically. I drink approximately 2 liters of water a day. I exfoliate and use moisturizers for extremely dry skin. However, about a minute or so after applying moisturizer, the same area feels itchy and dry and I have to apply more. I also have dry flaky skin that occurs in my eyebrows. I don't know what else to try or is it a more serious problem?

1. I always though Oil of Olay was good for the face. it feels very different going on than others. it absorbs quite fast.
2. Have you ever thought of using aromatherapy oils to help with the dry skin as they are all natural with no chemicals. Try these aromatherapy oils Bergamot, Chamomile, Jasmine, Rose, Sandalwood, Yiang Ylang.
3. can be eczema I suggest to go a dermatologist I suggest to use a face cream is more richer great for dry skin Grisi aloe vera face cream is good soothing cost $5 at rite aid. also St Ives collagen face cream leaves skin dewy cost $5. Use coconut oil at night you find at health stores.
4. I've been having dry skin problems lately and I was trying not to wash my face everyday because it dries it out even more. I don't like not washing my face everyday, but it helps to make it less dry. I was using Olay Face Moisturizer and it just wasn't working, so I switched to Ponds. Its in the bottle with the blue top. I really suggest trying that because its made for dry skin. Just read the back of the bottle before you buy it to make sure you have the one for the face. Ponds makes my skin feel really soft and smooth and I don't have to reapply it and now I'm able to wash my face everyday. If you try this moisturizer and it doesn't work then you should see a dermatologist about it. It could be possible there is something else wrong, but maybe not.
5. Try one with raw shea butter, I am sure you will see results. The eyebrow thing may be some eczema happening, the shea butter is perfect for that problem. You can get some free samples at the site below.
6. diet diet. eat more fruit, it helps dryness. and make sure ur not eating too much salt. you can also try goats milk. Drink or wash with it.
