Patches of dry skin on face

[mstp]

During the last few months I've developed dry skin on my face. There is a particularly resistant patch near my mouth that doesn't seem to be responding to my usual creams or to coconut oil which I've used as a last resort. Does anyone have any ideas please? I'm taking T3, B12, B Complex, Krill Oil, iron, Vit C, Zinc and CQ10.

Exfoliate twice a week and use a hot cloth cleanser like Liz Earle or boots time delay. Retinol based creams ( neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair from Amazon £20 is excellent.) use an spf 30 during summer. Good luck.

I have very dry, rough skin on my face, and the only thing that is working for me is Nivea Soft. It's cheap, give it a go!

I use Aveeno Skin Relief (I actually use the body lotion on the dry patches on my face - I don't react/it's mild & un-fragranced). I find that I have to put it on thickly after each time my face comes into contact with water. It really seems to help.

I second exfoliating before you apply the cream - unless you have obvious eczema/rash.

Thank you very much for that information. My scalp is very itchy at the moment so I will definitely try that. x
