Dry (face) skin help needed!

Nicki

If you've worked out your skin suits a cold wash better why don't you fill your sink in the morning with the warmish water and by the time it gets to bedtime it will be cold? After washing at night, fill it up again and it will be cold in the morning. That would be much more MSE than trying out a series of products which may or may not work

Hi Jenniewb
I use Boots DermaCare range especially the one for very dry skin, I've found this great on my face.I slap it all over, great product for me to use on body and face saves me time in the morning. It's unfragranced, similar to E45 type and found in same shelf.

Aloe Vera has healing properties for the skin. It is a known vulnerary and is great for applying topically to burns, abrasions, and psoriasis. Aloe acts as an analgesic and acts to help relieve pain of wounds. Aloe Vera is also an antipruritic which relieves or prevents itching. It is good for acne prevention. More:contact me!

Why not?
MLM and being pestered by Forever sales or similar company "independent" company sales people.

Heating water to let go cold does not sound very MSE to me. Why not just fill the sink with cold water in the first place? Add a small amount of hot/warm water to take the chill off it.

She has dry skin and without something to prevent de-hydration her skin is going to get dry because her skin does not produce enough sebum to prevent it from drying out. It's only by putting up a barrier similar to natural sebum that her skin will remain moist and supple. Only using cold water is not really a solution to the problem IMO. If she is prone to spots then adding something which tackles the bacteria causing the spots could be helpful.

I think you missed her post saying she's washed in cold water for years and it suits her skin better and the only reason she is now washing in warm water is because her cold tap doesn't work and her landlord won't let her turn the water heater off

Op a lot of advise about your skin so I won't add further (although I have very sensitive skin and find vaseline for lip moisturiser makes my mouth break out in red sores ) but wanted to add that changing a tap is not really a big job, it can be a pain to get the old tap off if there's any corrosion but get onto your LL, any plumber, or general handyman could do it with the correct tools.

I swear by lush dream cream.

Virgin organic coconut oil. Weleda baby range. Bareskin Beauty face oil or Balance Me. Or REN.

Another vote for filling the sink and letting the water cool during the day/overnight. And get some organic coconut oil - I got mine for £4 and it doesn't sting or cause any sensitivity and has cured all my weird dry patches - I use it every night before bed so I'm not shiny during the day. Do you only have the one sink - as maybe you could use the kitchen sink for a while and see if the problem resolves itself before you splash out on other products?
