Extremely dry skin?

I have really dry skin and eczema and nothing seems to take the dryness. I even use coconut oil and it doesn't seem to work, it's mainly on my face. What are some good makeup/ skincare products I should try?

If you have eczema you should definitely go to a dermatologist, just because I'm not sure if regular moisturizers could help that. I would say for now find a really gentle, preferably non perfumed soothing lotion and apply 1 thin layer first, wait a bit and apply another thin layer, hopefully that'll help a bit :)

I go to a dermatologist regularly and use aveeno in my skin which helps with my dry skin but I don't have eczema in my face so I can use what I want yet prefer something not too harsh, especially during winter. During the summer it's not bad at all though. So I was just wondering about maybe a good face moisturizer or foundation that is good for dry skin

Ah that clears things up, my skin is so dry it cracks in the winter! ThaTs not even an exaggeration. I personally adore the Amino genesis facial moisturizer, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be an overnight cream but I use it in the morning as well and instantly notice changes. For dry patches I like to apply a bit of rose salve over night. And as for foundations what kind of coverage are you looking for.

I have eczema on my body and I use Aveeno. It really helps and doesn't irritate it. As for the face I use Argon oil by Josie Marion it's so hydrating and just amazing. For foundation my HG is maybelline fit me it has medium coverage and a dewy finish great for dry skin

For foundation I am actually currently using maybelline fit me as well, it's working fine as a foundation in just still having a problem with dry patches. My go-to foundation is the loreal liquid to powder, it's soo amazing because even though it says powder it just feels like a powder yet it has the coverage as a liquid, it's great for summer and winter but it much better as you can probably guess for people with oily skin. I'm going to keep trying maybelline fitme for now though and see. I will probably try the argon oil too, the amino genesis sounds like it might work too

If you have dry patches try applying a bit more moisturizer in those areas, also primer helps a ton with that when your using makeup :)

I have psoriasis on my body and face. I recently went to my dermatologist and he gave me strong steriods for my body and a very mild steriod for my face. I use clarins blue orchid oil in the evenings which I find is working great! For a moisturiser I use loccitane angelica hydra vital day cream and at night I use loccitane precious night cream both are working excellent for me! For foundation I still use my estee lauder double wear as my skin is still oily but very dry in places I can get away with using it if I moisturise really well. Other foundations I've used that work are no7 superlight foundation, Bourjois healthy mix and Clinique even better.

I have eczema, and when it flares up I wash the area with T-gel and it calms it down drastically. As for dryness, is it on your face?

Try finding a moisturizer with ingredients such as jojoba oil, aloe vera, or avocado oil.

I have ezcema and E45 works for me I put it on before I go to bed an after I wake up. Also sodocreme (forgot spelling) works. BB cream moisturises your skin and covers up red patches when teamed with a concealer. Hope this helped.
