flaky skin

Whats a remedy for flaky skin if i over exfolitate (more than once i wk) my skin becomes sore. The only way so far to overcome this dry skin is using a moituriser 5 times a day in small-moderate amounts?! Is this normal . what other things can be done to overcome my extremly dry skin?

Re: flaky skin

What is your current skincare routine?

Why are you exfoliating your skin more than 1x/week if its making the skin sore and causing flakiness?

Re: flaky skin

I dont but im saying IF i do then it becomes sore. Thats incase someone recommends to exfoliate more i can't bacause it causes my skin to become sore.

^ So what is your current skin care routine? What products are you using and how often?

Re: flaky skin

Well once a week i wash my face with extra virgin olive oil soap around once every 1/2 weeks i exfoliate. I wash my face every day with just water and moisturise with aqueous cream and recently i began using vaseline on top of the aqueous cream which is working well but not very practical to use everyday.

Re: flaky skin

If you exfoliate so much your skin is getting sore you could end up with red raw skin that could end as hyperpigmentation.. Give it plenty of moisture and let it recover..

Re: flaky skin

i found a cure for it anyway, I dont over exfoliate read the question again...
