dry patches on the face??

how do you get rid of it? or atleast control it! I put the tiniest bit of foundation on and it looks like I've caked alot on? I drink heaps of water! and most moisturisers irritate my skin.

what can I do plz???

I have been doing this for years and works wonders. Wash your face like normal then after lightly exfoliate with baking soda, its a cheaper and more gentle way of exfoliating. Then I use unpetroleum jelly (found at your local sprouts,whole foods markets) and apply only on the dry areas. Applied at night time is best. Hope this helps:)

I use Vaseline intensive care lotion and it works well for me. Its a scent free, dye free lotion thats really inexpensive

I don't recommend this... But sometimes I get so frustrated with mine that I put my husband's foot lotion on it! Haha.  It's probably bad but every once in a while I want to look nice and not have giant white scaly patches on my face. Lol
