Re: Very dry and flaky skin on my face

I’m a dry skin girlie too and one of the key ingredients in skincare products I’ve found to be helpful in combating dryness is ceramides, which helps restore and nourish the skin barrier. 

Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream 1.7 oz / 50 mL 

 

belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb with Peptide and Ceramide 

 

Although I’m not certain if these have ceramides in it, I also like TULA Skincare 24-7 Moisture Intense Ultra Hydrating Day & Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid + Squalan... and Skinfix barrier+ Strengthening and Moisturizing Triple Lipid-Peptide Refillable Cream with B-L3 3.3 ... for the hydration they provide on the skin. They’re a little expensive but you get your money’s worth!

 

I’ve ran out of them and wanted to try Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench® Hyaluronic Cloud Rich Barrier Moisturizer 1.7 oz / 50 mL so I purchased it and am currently using that. So far so good! 

 

Also I’ve been exfoliating a lot lately (2-3 times a week depending on how my skin feels but definitely do not overdo it!) and I recently purchased Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Extra Strength Daily Peel Pads and so far my skin is loving it! Definitely on the more expensive side but it’s a good investment IMO. It comes with 30 + 5 free pads and I only use it 2-3 times a week so it’ll go a long way. It’s very potent (I use the extra strength one) so I’m careful not to overuse it. 

Hope this helps! 🙂

Thank you I added the peels pads to my basket. 

Re: Very dry and flaky skin on my face

@Kathleenkmps @Do you exfoliate your skin at least once a week?

 

New Sephora employee and I would suggest

The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL 

Caudalie VinoHydra Deep Hydration Moisturizer 2 oz / 60 ml 

Re: Very dry and flaky skin on my face

Thank you! I haven exfoliate in a long time. Just wash my face and put cream.

Re: Very dry and flaky skin on my face

@Kathleenkmps  What’s your current skincare routine (brands + product names)? Just wondering if your flaky dryness might be solved by tweaking your current routine (beyond a new moisturizer or facial oil). 

 

Without knowing that info, I’ll suggest The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL as a good hydrator and flake smoother. Or you could try squalane which is a very good moisturizer for dry skin; The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane 1 oz/ 30 mL is one of several on the market. 

 

I recommend applying a cream moisturizer atop either of those oils. When my skin’s in dry flaky mode—especially in winter—I top my moisturizer with a petrolatum balm for maximum moisturization, and to protect my skin from chapping and windburn. Sometimes I use a balm only where my skin’s excessively dry and/or flaky; other times I apply a thin layer to my entire face. I use either Aquaphor Ointment or CeraVe Healing Ointment (if you’re sensitive to lanolin, avoid Aquaphor), but Vaseline would also work. I just don’t like the texture of 100% petroleum jelly. And whichever moisturizer I use, I apply it while my skin’s damp to help seal in hydration instead of dryness. 

Re: Very dry and flaky skin on my face

Thank you so much for the information. Im using the skinfix cream. The blue bottle. I just wash my face and put cream. I haven’t apply anything else lately. I was using also de snail secretion from a brand the Ulta sells. But I thought that was the problem. Not sure. 

Re: Very dry and flaky skin on my face

@Kathleenkmps add a humidifier to your bedroom.  Hyaluronic Acid can help too as the first step in your skincare routine.  The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Hydrating Face Serum is a great product.  

Re: Very dry and flaky skin on my face

Thank you I didn’t think about the humidifier. Maybe I’ll try it. Do you have one that you can recommend? 

Re: Very dry and flaky skin on my face

@Kathleenkmps I'm currently struggling big time with dryness and have been on the hunt for similar products. I'm only a week into it but Skinfix barrier+ Strengthening and Moisturizing Triple Lipid-Peptide Refillable Cream with B-L3 0.5 ... is helping a lot. I'm also using Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair Redness Reducing Barrier Cream 1.7 / 50 at night and it's been great. I've also heard really good things about Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Mask 0.77 oz / 22 g

Re: Very dry and flaky skin on my face

Thank you! Yes Im using the skinfix one too but nothing else as for right now.
