Face is super dry. Thoughts?

[guapo337]

I started to get into the pool again in the past few days, and the chlorine combined with the dry air has made my face super dry. The skin is so dry that it hurts to open my mouth wide, or anything like that. I've been using moisturizer/body lotion on it and it's helped some. But the chlorine/dry air combined with Clearasil face wash and a shave every few days just makes it irritated. How can I make my skin silky smooth again?

Buy a moisturizer and a cleanser that doesn't dry out your skin. Cetaphil is good.

lard, rub lard on your face

Johnson's baby oil, seriously, it'll keep the skin really soft too

Drink a lot of water and go easy with Clearasil

It puts the lotion on its skin, or it gets the hose again.

Exfoliate and keep moisturizing.

WATER based lotion. Use oil and just wait for the onslaught.

Wow.. I wondered how long I'd have to wait til I got a stupid comment about that. I'm so amazed that it came from you, Anik!

Oh, the irony!

Stop using the Clearasil. Benzoil Peroxide dries out your skin.

It's never been a problem before... Even last year, it wasn't that bad.
