If this is a lot worse than your usual dry skin, I would definitely avoid any exfoliants or scrub stuff.  Some of the other answers on this question worried me, so I thought I would respond.\nDoes it look infected?  If this is WAY worse than usual, you could possibly have an infection.  Is it painful?  Is it extremely red?  \nI would use antibiotic ointment and not wash your face for a few days.  If it gets worse, see a doctor.

Could be dry skin or allergic reaction to something.  Try using a good lotion daily.  I've found Oil of Olay Quench to do very well on dry skin.

Honey I think we've all been there done that! You had too much salt. It dried out your lips. They really are a lot more sensitive than the rest of your skin. Carmex works great. I've tried blistex too but Carmex works faster. It is usually cleared up by the next day. If the skin on your lips has been really damaged be prepared for them to peel. Try to avoid chewing on them when they do. That's a problem that I have. Good luck

do a little of both.  try neosporin and a bandaid during the day and air it out at night.  you dont want it to stay too moist, but if you let it dry out it causes scaring

I had really bad skin when I was growing up. My face would be covered in blackheads and I have really big pores so I was always squeezing the heck out of my face and that was just making them worse because like you said they would all be back the next day. So my suggestion to you would be to steam your face every night before you go to bed to open up all of the pores and while your face is still warm you need to get a cucumber face mask and put it on your face for about 20 minutes. After you peel it off put Vaseline on your face and leave it on overnight. I don't know why but for some reason this keeps your pores clean. Hope that this helps you out\nCheers

You are sunburnt. Next time use a sunblock. The peeling can be lessened by using an aloe vera based lotion  topically applied to the skin. If you don't like the after effects of not protecting your skin then use sunblock as I previously stated.

I would say to go to a dermatologist. I used Proactiv & It didn't work at all for me either. \n\nWash your face morning & night with just some water.  And drink plenty of water everyday, that clears it up good.

Maybe just really bad dry skin or a slight allergic reaction to something?  If lotion doesn't help, try putting some hyrdrocortisone cream on it.

I have heard that putting toothpaste on them works well.  I think it would probably have a drying effect.  You could just try a mud mask, those green mint ones, they sell at the store for about $2.50 a bottle.  That seems to work well for me!

It could be just wicked dry skin.  Maybe try some lotion.  If that doesn't work, my guess would be psoriasis.  (I'm not sure I spelled that right.)

i had to shape up and look good fast for a vacation i just went on. my suggestions are to drink tons of water, take a natural multi-vitamin, and make sure you work up a sweat for 20 minutes 2 times a day (make sure to wash your face after). i also avoided caffeine and ate 5-6 smaller healthy snacks during the day, and no sugar at all. if you can afford it a facial would help make your skin glow. good luck!!!!

Hey man be careful with some crazy people up there. Oatmeal, lemon juice, vinegar IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. Those things could make it even worst. Take a pain killer like Advil or Tylenol. Also, get Banana Boat Aloe Vera gel. Put it in the fridge and use it at least twice a day (morning and evening). Last year I had a bad SBurn. Right after the Aloe Vera gel I use a Lubriderm lotion. Don't rub it, be gentle. Also, don't expose yourself to the sun and use light cotton cloth. Avoid detergent or use a natural one to avoid any sensitive reaction to the skin. Also, drink vitamin E and break a capsule and mix it with the Lubriderm or Aloe Vera gel. It worked out for me. I know people who had nasty marks after a sun burn like mine. I don't have any!

I have this problem too - It's mostly dry skin for me. I find if I don't drink enough water during the day, I get EXCEPTIONALLY itchy at night. There are still some nights I HAVE to take benadryl to fall asleep. I definitly recommend St. Ives 24hour moisture lotion after a cool shower (hot water dries your skin out even more) and drinking as much water or eating as much fruit or veggies that are high in water that you can tolerate.\n\nSee your doctor though because it may be something other than just dry, ashy skin.

Hey there. The easiest and least confusing way I can think to explain it to you....Ok, begin my cleansing and moisturizing your face. Make up will look gross on dry skin. Next, chose your foundations shade ( I use liquid). Apply a small amount of the foundation to the back of your hand and blend it some moisturizer. The moisturizer should make up about a 1/3 of the total amount. Adding moisturizer will tone down the fake look of foundation and act more like a tint, giving you healthy, dewy looking skin.Next use a little dab of concealer, 2 dots on both cheeks and blend it out to help cover any bags under your eyes, or any uneven skin tone. Use concealer and you don't have to cake foundation on to cover spots....looks a lot more natural. Ok, next, add a little cream blush...nothing too over the top, it should just enhance your glow, not give you a fake one. Do a big cheesy smile and apply a finger dot on the apple of each cheek. Sweep it out along your top jawline towards the outer corners of your eyes. If you want, you can also  use a little cream blush on your eyelids. Just a little dot for each eye, and blend upto your eyebrow. If you have a different color eyeshadow you want to use, don't use the blush.Now, using a loose powder on a Puff or brush, dust lightly over your face to "set" your makeup. This will also help take away any shine.  Ok....now for the eyes. I personally don't use a lot of eyeliner, but when I do want something dramatic I use liquid eyeliner. To avoid wobbly lines, rest your elbow on a bench and hold your hand still, and move your head as required.And just line your top eyelids.  If you muck up, just touch over the top of it with a little foundation on a cotton tip, rather than taking it all off and starting again. Ok, now for mascara. Always, always do two coats at least. Do your first coat and make sure there is no clumps. Wait a minuet and apply the second coat. Try and pick a mascara that wont glug up and give you spider leg eyelashes. \nAlmost done. Time for lips, and always do lips last. I don't use lip liner, or lipstick. I'm only 21, so for a younger face I choose a shiny, shimmery cute lip gloss. I use two colors, one is a sweet pink, and its nice to wear even without any other make up. The second is a slightly bronze color. Sounds gross, but when you mix it with a little of the pink gloss, it makes a wonderful natural shimmery gloss..kind of sparkles. \nAnd that's about it. The best thing to do is go and see a professional and ask them to show you what color's are best for you, and how to use the products. And when you are buying a foundation, remember store lighting is usually harsh, so check the color out in natural light. \nPractice at it, and you'll get the hang of it. And remember - you dont want to look like a transvestite, so always pick colors that compliment you and don't go over the top...less is best.

try applying curd on your face and leave it to dry.. rinse it with water after 15 minutes.. this should keep ur skin glowing and take off the unwanted chemicals.. moreover, u need to drink plenty of water to avoid the oily excretions from ur skin.. avoid all the cosmetic creams since they only add to the problem.. let me know if this works..
