Hi Everyone,
I currently have crazy dry skin.. no matter how much I moisturize or exfoliate my skin is still dry, tight and patchy. And every morning I wake up with little whiteheads all above my mouth and along my chin. I am obviously starting to think of a new skin care regimen. I am currently using:
Aveeno Acne Cleanser
Rose water toner (in morning)
differin gel (at night)
and CeraVe moisturizer
but I am still so dry.
does anyone have any recommendations on products/ways I can get moisture back in to my skin? I am getting desperate
(And I do drink tons of water)
Your dry skin and acne like symptoms are probably caused by malasezzia fungus. Malasezzi fungus FEEDS on the organic oils in moisturisers, so stop using moisturisers, and start apply Lamisil topical antifungal cream (contains terbenafine which kills malasezzia).
Do you have dandruff, seborhheic dermatitis and/or a white tongue ? Have you taken antibiotics or birth control pills ?
The dry skin will recover once you control the fungus, if that is what you have, and it sounds like you do.
Happy to hear back from you.
