Dry, flakey, blotchy skin is what i’ve suffered most of my life, namely my face. I’ve been trying different things to see what works for me and through research I found out my water intake could be an issue as well as possibly adding a mask to my skin care regimen. I must mention that since I’ve been using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-cream, my skin has not been nearly as thirsty. My face does feel moisturized and the flakiness is nearly gone but upon close up inspection I still see it lurking behind my makeup. Below is the simple skin care regimen I’ve been following for about two months now.
Bedtime
– remove make up with coconut or EVOO and a warm rag
– wash face with black soap
– rinse with water, last rinse being with cool water
– blot face dry with clean towel
– apply Vaseline Intensive Care Pure Oats lotion
Morning
– wet face with warm water
– clean with Cetaphil Facial Cleanser
– rinse with warm water then cool water
– blot off access wetness
– wipe face with Neutrogena Alcohol Free Toner
– moisturize with Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-cream
– apply primer and makeup.
I’ll be adding a mask to this as soon as I find the right one for me. Researching has provided some good information that I am now reviewing so that I can choose wisely. This research has revealed that several different types of mask exist for dry skin alone. If anyone knows any good ones for dry skin please comment and I would greatly appreciate it. 🙂
Types of Mask that I will be trying to help provide some moisture to my face:
Calming – helpful for dry skin
Resurfacing or Exfoiliating – good for white heads (which appear more often since I’ve been wearing makeup)
Hydrating – helpful for dry skin
Enzymes – good for flaking, clogged pores, and dull skin
Rose – helpful with dry skin and dull skin

Maybe a sheet mask with hyaluronic serum in it would help? Dr. Jart, Tony Moly and Karuna are wonderful. I have also gotten some great masks Marshall’s or TJ Maxx. I would skip the toner if your skin is super dry.
Oil face cleansers are amazing too.
I will look into both of these products thanks so much.
