"Dry skin"

[sarah.jennifer]

I’ve got horrible a patches of dry, red skin on my chin mainly, my skin used to be perfect.

I’ve tried a wide range of moisturizers and creams and e45, but don’t do anything, make it worse if anything.

Any ideas what I can do...?

Cetaphil moisturizer. Available in drugstores. My dermotologist recommended it.

Never use anything with mineral oil or petro-anything in it.

Perhaps you could try oil instead of creams and lotions?
I have dry skin as well, especially around my eyes and my forehead is always a bit flaky. I tried lots of different creams but none of them did a good job.

I now use oil which I buy online at Natural Brands for Skin Care products.
I use wrinkle relief which I mainly use at night, during the day I use a cream with SPF.
For my body I also use the bath & body oils from the same shop, they are really nice and I don't have that dry itchy feeling after a shower. I think they also do eczema oil, especially for dry and irritated skin so perhaps you could give that one a try.

Also very good for dry patches is unrefined sheabutter.

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream is really good for dry skin.

I suggest you see a dermatologist like I mentioned in your other ID thread.
Dry red skin may be a skin disorder like eczema or a fungus like ringworm. Anything bought off the shelf without a prescription will only aggravate the situation... speaking from experience. Good luck.
