Two days ago I used a bathing gel on dry skin (the skin its not dry by itself, I just mean "not wet"). The fact is that I used the bathing gel, and left it there, didn't use water afterwards to take it off. Went to sleep, and got up with the skin like really dry and cracky. I suspect the dry gel has made a thin layer on my skin and it feels like it, like I have a layer of soap that avoids me from feeling direct skin touch. Apart from that, the skin looks like dry and wrinkles too much.
I have used moisterising cream, and have bathed intensively, and tried to take the gel out, but I just can't get it off. Any idea how to take it? Besides, i have a wound, and my flesh is exposed and i didn't want to try alcohol for that reason, nor other products.
I would appreciate your help a lot.
