I went to the beach a few days ago, my face was all red for about 3 days then it turned really dry and rough face. any ideas to treat this?

You didn't mention: if you got sunburned or not--this is the most likely cause of your symptoms. These will go away on their own in a week or so. Use a mild soap with cool water followed by a moisturizing cream on your face. Let the rough, dry areas peel or flake on their own. Avoid sun exposure for now and use sunscreen in the future. You should be fine!
