My face is really dry but I don't know what to put on it. I put lotion on it but it doesn't help much.

Are you using body lotion or a face moisturizer? there's a difference. also make sure you exfoliate first.

I have the same problem. Eucerin works really well for me. You can find it at Walmart.

My skin gets very dry so one day I decided to use aloe Vera and it worked so well for me. My routine for putting it on is I clean my face before I go to sleep then I apply it onto the dry areas and sleep with it on my face. Then in the morning I get a wash cloth wet with cold water and wipe my entire face.

PS. you can use coconut oil as a cream too because it gets kind of solid ( like a cream) at a normal temperature...

Hey lauren, I have dry skin too! This is how I treat it ☺
I use a cream, not a lotion. A face cream in particular. Creams tend to absorb into the skin much better than lotions do, and it's best to use them right after you wash your face. So instead of targetting facial lotions, try facial creams.
I really love CeraVe's moisturizing cream. It does an excellent job at hydrating! Shea butter and cocoa butter work beautifully as well ♥
You can use an oil of any kind, Coconut oil, jojoba, almond, etc.over your cream to SEAL in moisture. These oils do not moisturize your skin by themselves, think of them as boosters of hydration.
Make sure your using an alcohol free toner! and if you have trouble finiding one I really recommend Apple Cider Vinegar.
Remember to exfoliate your skin, I love using Brown Sugar, Honey, and Olive oil to exfoliate. ♥♥♥
