Has anyone else gone through the phase where no moisturizer from the pharmacy works anymore?
I just feel like my face is cracking from dryness and I don't know what to put on it. I've tried pretty much everything recommended, from the most famous brands, and it feels like my skin absorbs it all in ten minutes, and then I'm left with a terrible tightness on my cheeks. Not to mention those red areas that appear and sting the moment I apply the cream.
Edit - is it really possible that a destroyed barrier will no longer retain these classic lotions from the store at all?
I've started looking for less processed stuff because I'm desperate and I'm considering getting a pure butter from Shea Terra Organics to see if at least a heavier fat can solve these flakes.
I'm just a little afraid of waking up with blocked pores and painful cysts on my chin if it's too thick. What do you use to repair your skin in winter when absolutely all the dermatological cosmetics at the pharmacy seem like just plain water?
