Any advice on how to get rid of flaky skin?

Hello!

Recently I have had patches of dry, flaking skin between my eyebrows. My skin is normal to dry but has never had dry patches before. Being so close to my eyes, I’m not sure what to use. It seems worse in my frown lines too! I’ve tried gently exfoliating but it just comes back! Any tips?

I am big into rosehip oil, I apply it each night and my skin is so much softer, and no flakiness! Try and get an Aussie one without additives

Try Emu Oil or Almond Oil. I personally use Emu Oil and it works well.

I’ve just been using the Dermaveen moisturiser I received through this brilliant site as a tester/reviewer. I highly recommend it. It’s the best I have ever used.

This is gonna sound strang but pure olive oil works .. I get really dry skin and find brought creams etc contain other nasty’s which aggravate my skin .. Olive oil Doesn’t

I would try bathing and rubbing in some oil, fractionated Coconut Oil is awesome.

Could be from winter! Check out a product called Eco by Sonya. Their coconut body milk is proven to get rid of things like this! Check out their testemonials on facebook and their online website. I can vouch for this personally!

I would try putting on a thick moisturiser overnight. I have used QV intense overnight when my skin got really dry. Or Moogoo is also very good
