This happens to me from time to time (including now).

My face is extremely dry. The drier it gets, the itchier it gets. I have already applied lotion maybe 6 times today, and quite a few times yesterday.

I reapply lotion frequently and try different lotions, but I still have dry patches. Seems like some lotion isn't absorbing so well. My skin is also sensitive to most everything that touches it.

It could possibly be a reaction to my regular swimming (about 4 days a week), but changing that is not an option (for sanity's sake!). Or maybe a reaction to something else I'm using?

I'm using lotion, aloe gel, squalene, neem and a little tto. The neem and tto are for some breakouts, which may just be red, sensitive skin? But I have a wedding/reunion next week that I'm trying to be smooth skinned for...

My skin cycles between this and totally fine/no issues/no breakouts/normal- light lotion and/or aloe gel maybe every other day.
