More and more often because of dry skin I have "scabs" and a peeling skin appears. It's not all over the face, but in several points. Now I have the lower jaw on the right side and on my nose. It also often occurs on the forehead. I wash off my makeup with milk every day, then wash my face thoroughly with the gel to wash off any remaining powder and dust. When I apply the foundation, it looks good in the first hour, but after a while, and sometimes even immediately, the skin peels off, which does not look aesthetically pleasing. I tried all kinds of peels, which unfortunately did not work. How to deal with it? What should I use?
In the event of the symptoms described, first of all, the skin should be properly moistened and lubricated. Dry skin requires special care. It is worth using intensively moisturizing and oiling preparations every day. Pharmacies offer a wide range of products (washing preparations and creams) containing emollients based on paraffin, petroleum jelly, hypoallergenic lanolin, vegetable oils, borage, wheat and avocado. The second group of preparations are water-absorbing humectants (propylene glycol, glycerin, ceramides, urea, lactic acid).
