Dry Skin

What products should I use for dry skin?

I know not every persons skin has the same texture and same scenario. Many people experience and require more intensive skin care routines, while others just need the basics. Luckily for myself, I’ve experienced having both dry skin and oily skin. What I can say from that is, I prefer to have oily skin, as it is not as hard to take care of and manage like having dry skin, because trust me, I know what that feels like, and in my case, it was quite painful. 

I started experiencing having a ton of acne around the age of 14. My diet wasn’t all that great, and I also didn’t know what I was doing with or for my skin. All I did was follow other peoples suggestions. I used to pick at my pimples and tug on them (not recommended), creating acne scars all over my face. This left me with a bunch of dark spots and dry patches. I did it every so often that at one point I was desperate to have clear skin again. I even purchased proactive (which dried out my face even more), and other spot treatments. I remember washing my face like 3 times a day, thinking that would help. I never did any research on what I should do for DRY skin. The products I was using, only made my dry skin, even dryer. 

It’s important to make sure you know what skin type you have, that way you can target what products would work best for you. One of the products that helped my skin get back to normal would be an Aveeno Naturals foaming face wash. This had all natural oils that would help soak into my skin. It was packed with oatmeal which is known to help soothe dry skin.
