My face is feeling stiff and flaking because of the weather change. What's a good deep moisturizer?

I've got acne prone skin, and I use Benzoyl Peroxide to keep it under control (and it's working great). The problem is that now the weather is getting drier here and between the drying effect of the BP and now the dry air outside my skin (mainly my face, since that has both drying sources on it) is feeling very stiff and it's starting to flake.





I do use a daily moisturizer, but it's just not enough right now I guess. What is a good, oil free (or otherwise non-comdengenic) *deep* moisturizer?





Do those mask moisturizers work well? I'd feel funny in one but if it worked I'd get over it lol.





Anyway, I just need some advice on products that work for you.





Thanks :)

I have a solution to both your acne problem and your dryness problem! It works great for me when I over-clean my face. Peroxide is not really good for you, because it eats your skin like acid.





Pop all your pimples, then wash your face thoroughly with regular bar soap (not liquid soap, because it leaves a residue), making sure to rinse well. Dry your face with a towel, not paper, because paper cuts your skin with tiny splinters. Rub Neosporin liberally all over your face, and go to sleep. When you wake up, you may have to use a towel to get the rest of the Neosporin off of your face, but your skin will be moist and pimple-free! Neosporin kills bacteria that cause pimples, and (believe it or not) your skin needs oil to stay moist!





The only drawback to this is that the towel and your pillowcase will get Neosporin on them, and since Neosporin is oil-based, it's hard to get out in the laundry. Pick a towel and pillowcase that is old, and only wash them together, using bleach to kill germs and remove dirt that doesn't come out with regular laundry detergent.





You can feel free to take a shower in the morning after you do this treatment, and even if you wash your face (as long as you don't scrub too hard or use BP), your skin will stay moist all day.





Like I said, your skin needs oil to stay moist. Why do you think your skin puts out oil? The oil protects the top layer of cells, and helps the dead cells to stay smooth and not pull the healthy ones loose. That's why people who wash thier hands a lot have cracked skin. The oil that should be helping to smooth out the dead skin is gone. The reason that you don't like oil is that it makes your nose shine. Well, that's simple - just use a towel to wipe your nose free of the excess oil - gently.

works VERY well


all different kinds for different skin types
Reply:To get rid of the flaking you can wash your face with milk.





Skim milk if your skin is oily. Regular milk can be used otherwise.





A paste make from powdered milk and water can be used as a mask at night. Let it sit for as long as you want the rinse it off.
Reply:Do you use a toner? So many of our problems with skin can be remedied with a toner. A toner brings the skins mantle back to the proper pH balance.





My Arbonne website is listed below if you want to check it out. I would be happy to send you a free sample of our mens skin care line. Arbonne uses botanically based ingredients and are pH correct, which is good for your skin.





I also found this article on CCN about mens skin care you may find helpful.

Reply:hey. get the hydrating creme concentrate from Bee Royal. it hydrates. it works different than moisturizers because it doesn't have oils or petroleum that just sit on top your skin and smother it. this moisturizer is absorbed and let's your skin breath.
