How can i prevent dry scaly skin on my face? i don't overwash and don't use any acne medicines.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scaly dry skin: Moisturizers are the treatment of choice - lotion during the day and ointments at night. Washing the face with soap and water 2x a week will also help; during those alternate days, use non-soap cleansers like cetaphil. Mild Hydrocortisone creams may slow down the dryness and alleviate associated itching.
