Really dry skin on my face......any good reccomendations

[nutcracker]

I get it every winter, all round my mouth and on my chin, it looks right mess and is getting on my nerves now.

The cream i used last year doesn't seem to be doing anything this year, anyone know of any other good ones.

try E45 cream - only a tiny blob as its very concentrated one

oilatum/aqueous cream or hemp cream from body shop?hth

Thanks will give those a try

Aveeno (I would recommend from anything from dry skin to leprosy)

Elizabeth Ardens 8 hour cream - I bought some after reading about it on MN and it really is fantastic.

Omega 3 fish oil capsules. I started taking 2 a day about a month ago and my dry skin has really improved, feels much softer and smoother.

Happymum - I'm allergic to vaseline!

There are some face masks that you can leave on overnight and the moisturiser sinks into your skin all ready for the morning..I have a gel based one so it doesnt make the pillows sticky.

Happymum - I was surprised as I didn't think there was much in it really! I kept persevering, thinking it must be something else, but I ended up looking like a leper with a big swollen weeping face, very attractive. DH kindly and sensitively said to me "you're very brave going out like that ".
