dry skin on face

[malinalli]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum, glad I found it.
I have not been able to find a solution to this problem, for the past month or so I have had extremely dry skin on my face, patches on my cheeks and chin.
I am a new mommy, baby girl was born jan 11, 2008, so I don't know if this dry skin is due to hormones or something? I've tried several moisterizers but nothing has really helped.

Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

We live in Colorado (DRY!!!), and I use Neutrogena's Sensitive Skin face moisturizer on my 6 month old's dry cheeks. It doesn't have any alcohol or sunscreens or weirdo stuff in it... and it's what I use on my own face!

Welcome!

I find that facemasks, especially the peel-off kind, help with dry skin.
