How To Repair Extremely Damaged Skin ? :(

I find it normal for the skin to be "allergic" to tap water since depending on the area you live in it can contain chlorine and fluoride. You could replace it with still water if you feel the need to wash your face. I got used already to the idea that my skin will always get red after washing it, so don't let this bring you down either.I guess your skin should go through a "recovery period", in which you won't use any creams with acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinol or anything harsh, nonnatural. Try applying coconut oil overnight or during the day when you know you will be staying in for at least 2 hours. Also, you could try supplementing with zinc and cod liver oil. These two have worked for me when I was going through your skins' current phase.Did I forget to mention how important water is? 2 litres/day please! Thanks for your reply !I'm hoping this recovery period will happen sharpish because it's been six whole years now and no sign of any healing It's very disheartening because I'm sure something would have happened by now.I've never used AHA's or BP or anything and I definitely can't or won't now, that's for sure ! I've used organic skincare for years. I use a very mild organic face wash once every 2 days (Once or twice a day is too drying because my face produces literally ZERO oil).I'm allergic to coconut oil Any oil infact (this is also very bizarre because I've never heard of anyone being allergic to using mild oils neat on their skin. Even jojoba is a huge problem. I think my face has become allergic to a component in all the oils but I'm not sure. I do use an organic face cream though.I drink about 3 ltrs of bottled water a day. I take zinc. Evening primrose and cod liver oils. And a multivitamin each day. I have a good diet too. Very little sugar, dairy, fats, refined foods, salt, takeaways etc.I really am kind to my body these days but I'm not getting much back from it !!
