My face burns when i moisturize now? what could be causing this?

Is your face: overly dry? Overly dry skin is not as good a barrier against preservatives or chemicals in lotions or other products (as compared to skin that is more intact). As a result, some of these may get through to more sensitive areas of tissue/skin.
