I have been using Neutragina Sunblock lotion for my facial moisurizer for a couple years now, but im noticing that my face is getting dryer looking and seems to need some extra moisture, it is also flaking a bit and red.

What would you recommend? something without a lot of chemicals and that I can use along with my Sunblock.

Thanks.

I don't know about during the day, but as a night treatment, have you ever tried olive oil? Just regular extra virgin cold pressed olive oil. I put this on my face and neck every night before bed--it soaks in very quickly--and in spite of being prone to dry skin everywhere else, my face is always soft as a baby's. I've experiemented in the past with some pretty pricy creams, but this blows them all away! Give it a try!

I agree with using an oil. Olive oil is good. I use Silkia camellia oil which also soaks in very fast, no greasy feeling and hydrates very well. I even use it in the morning because I love the radiant sheen it gives to my skin.

Thanks .
I have plenty of Extra Virgin Olive Oil it is one of my must haves when im cooking but never thought of using it on my face, I know that the Greeks used to use it as a cleanser though- Im going to try that while debating on Camellia oil which ive just looked up online and everyone is saying how great it is and its not even that expensive.
