What should i try to help my extra dry skin? but lotion only makes it oily. my skins terribly dry. its so dry it makes even more oils. lotion does help for a bit, but then it just gets even more oily.

I : I would consider using a hydrating cleanser such as cerave hydrating cleanser. Then, apply cerave cream to the skin. It helps replenish moisture into the skin and replace some of the components of the skin layer that are lost each day. It doesn't tend to be as oily as some other products. Unfortunately, this time of year is very drying to the skin due to low humidity. A good humidifier can also help a little. I hope that helps!
