A member asked:

I'm taking accutane and my face is so dry! is it okay to do an egg and olive oil moisturizing mask?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Accutane: It is very normal for your face to get very dry on Accutane. it is ok to use lotions and moisturizers. As far as the mask you mention it sounds more like a salad dressing than a skin treatment to me. I really have no opinion on that. Why don't you call your Dermatologist and ask?
