How to safely remove dry skin on face?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dry skin: You actually do not want to try to remove dry skin, since it is your own skin that is flaking. You want to treat it. If it is a rash, like seborrhea, which produces flaking, then you need a dandruff shampoo and a Hydrocortisone cream 1%. If it is truly dry, like in alaska in the winter, then use a facial moisturizer, several times a day. If it is severe, it could be psoriasis or icthyosis.

Creams: Do not ever pick off, moisturize first. Consider using a clarisonic cleansing brush which may help as well.
