I've been getting dry patches on my forehead and nose. It's flaky as well, any idea what's happening or it's dehydration or something?

If your changed your skin regimen recently, it could be that, or the weather, or like you said, dehydration. You should try gently exfoliating more regularly and use a thicker moisturizer at night. Also drink lots and lots of water! xx

1) Your home might be dry because the humidifier might not be strong enough. You can buy a small humidifier the portable ones if you're willing to.
2) If you wash your face in hot water, it will dry out your skin. Which is why I always finish up washing my face with cold water.
3) Use a thick moisturizer like the cetaphil moisturizer in the tub.
4) Make sure your cleanser is not drying. No alcohol either, its really really drying.
5) Exfoliate! Steam your face for about 3~5minutes and exfoliate. Finish off with cold water.
Good Luck! :)

I see thanks, we don't have any humidifier but I'll try to look for one. Yeah I have a tendency to wash my face with hot water and yeap I used cetaphil as well because I have eczema on my body ~ thanks for the tips :)
