Acne and Severe dry skin.
by MyrAnn, Feb 10, 2007 12:00AM
HI, I am 24 and have had mild to moderate acne since I was 16. Currently I am not taking any medications for acne or any at all for that matter, however, my skin has gotten severely dry and flaky. It has never been this bad.. except for a year ago when I tried Proactiv, which did not work. I am wondering how or why after all of these years my skin has gotten so severely dry, just these past few months my skin has been so dry it makes my face look worse. On top of the acne! so i am wondering what I can do for my skin. Nothing seems to help. Lotions havent improved my face neither have facial scrubs.help!
