pdog Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 well, unfortunately, things like that are genetic, but you live in NY right? Is there any specific time of the year your face dries out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Dragon Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 You can buy Vitamin E in pills. Get those - it'll help to take one every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdog Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 also, did the doctor diagnose you with a certain type of skin trouble, or was it just generic dry skin? Also, did he give you prescription topical creames or just reccomend OTC ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zedaxax Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Ironically have you noticed any ads latly All women put creams\oil on their faces.... and guys too i guess its good for the skin and keeps it "younger" so it is only benficial - they say as with your shoes - you need to oil them to prevent dry out you obviously have over dry skin.isnt there a solution of eating some kind of food stuff to increase your oil excretion? Move to a more humid country (tropical)? ps. i dont know the human body well if you havent noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdodson Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 You can buy Vitamin E in pills. Get those - it'll help to take one every morning. 584940461[/snapback] Wasn't there just a study released showing that daily doses of vitamin-E can cause heart attacks or something like that? :huh: BTW, have you been tested for allergies?

smaulz Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 One thing you can try is to eat more fish. Especially Salmon, Halibut, Tuna, etc. The oils are extremely beneficial to your skin, and have been known to prevent problems like you're describing.

jymi Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 @vice: the hot water dries out the skin and makes it irritate, i used to get this aloe vera is good for dry skin, my grandma used to give it to me to rub on my face. just get the plant, cut off the pointy bits , slice in half n rub on your face after a few days you will see a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenMaster Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I thought Vitamin E was water soluble. Pee out whatever the body doesnt use. 584941100[/snapback] Nope. Wrong vitamin. Its actually stored in body fat/tissue. Its a fat soluable vitamin .... A, D, E & K. As for heart attacks, you'd have to take dangerous levels of it. IF you take a vitamin pill a day, you'll be fine its well within healty guidelines. Just take a multi-vitamin and not just Vit-E or you'll cause imbalances. Keep in mind... journalists are not trained in medicince. They read some journal reports but trum out all the methodologies of the studies -- taking all the credibility from the article only to publish senstational crap and make a headline about it -- which is all you usually remember . This practice should be rendered illegal. As for your skin ... does it get worse/better when you go outside, into other buildings? Is it all the time or only when @ home. It could be an envrionmental allegy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I've had dry, itchy skin all my life. It gets worse in the winter, with the cold, dry air. Ironically, if my shower is too hot, I itch all over. I think my face might be the only place where it's not dry. I also have tried pretty much everything under the sun, but my skin seems to become resistant after a while. So, the best thing for me right now is, warm shower instead of hot, and put lots of lotion as soon as I'm almost dry, but still damp. Maybe the same principle could be used for your face. Try it, you've got nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
