Dry skin caused by skin care?

HI,





I've been for the past months expierencing dry and flaky skin.. I'm currently 21 - only a year ago - I had oily skin type.. Is it possible for one's skin type to shift so dramatically?





I might think the cause of my skin dryness, are probably skincare products.. I've really stepped up, in terms of using cleansers, moisturizers, face mask you name it.. could this be the problem?Dry skin caused by skin care?
exfoliate (st ives aricot face scrub, the course kind), THEN use your face wash, pat dry gently then moisturize immediately after you wash because it locks the water in your skin that it absorbed in the shower. you shouldnt use too many products, or hot-hot water.Dry skin caused by skin care?
yes, skin care products can cause dryness. Just find a lotion that doesn't irritate your skin and one that is noncomedogenic. Put lotion on 2-3 times a day, and ur skin should heal.





-If you keep experiencing dry skin, change ur products and go to a dermatologist. (bcar4l cuz dry skin cud cause Eczema)
too much cleansing without mosturizing can cause skin to dry
your skin probs may just be seasonal but, if you used really aggressive products before for oily skin, while your skin was combination/oily then most likely it is the cause of the prob.


the safest thing to do is to use products for all skin types until your skin gains back its natural oil and its PH level.


do keep in mind that flaky skin is also a sign of dehydration.
