How can I get rid of dry burning skin on my face no cream seems to work please help?

Drink some extra glasses of water. Get good sleep--helps heal faster, use neutrogena acne lotion that has an exfoliating agent such as salycilic acid. Also, honey--leave it on for about 15-20 minutes--works wonders--skin is so soft afterward.How can I get rid of dry burning skin on my face no cream seems to work please help?
I do not know what soap you are using to wash your face, but that may contribute to the burning. Do not use any soap on your face except Dove for sensitive skin (unscented) OR Cetaphil wash for sensitive skin - those are two mildest cleansers you can buy. Second, Cetaphil products are highly recommended by our dermatology office (and I use only these) and are very very mild to most everybody's skin. You could try the Cetaphil lotion or cream and see how that is for you. Buy these at most any store or Walmart. You could even just try a very thin layer of Vaseline ointment. Many lotions and cream contain alcohol and other potentially irritating ingredients. The best thing you can do is use as mild a product as you can and purest. Do not use anything with fragrance. If you think shaving or shaving cream could be doing this (you can get a skin burn from shaving), look on the internet for shaving creams for sensitive skin and see what is out there to try. If all fails, seek a dermatologist for help.How can I get rid of dry burning skin on my face no cream seems to work please help?
Hi!


Have you tried aqueous cream? It is a water based moisturiser which is really mild and will soothe as well as treat the dry skin. You could also try using a little neat lavender oil, which, along with tea tree oil, is okay to use directly on the skin without a carrier oil. It is often used to treat burns (it is an ingredient in sudocrem) and will help to soothe the area.


Hope this helps.
One answer suggested what is actually called bag balm (teet cream)


but I don't recommend putting it on your face. Get yourself some Aquaphor:





Eucerin and Aquaphor Skincare Products. Nonirritating, fragrance-free, ... Aquaphor actually helps reduce healing time of cracked, dry, damaged skin and minor burns. ...
Get yourself an Aloe Vera plant and squeeze the jelly like substance out of one of the succulent's leaves and apply to the face. Do this morning and night. You will feel a soothing almost instantly and in a week it will heal your problem.





NEVER use soap on your face. It dries out the natural oils that are there for a reason. Instead, use a mild soap free cleanser.
I have psoriasis, so I know a little bit about dry skin. The best thing that I have ever, ever used is plain, old fashioned vaseline. Any brand, the cheaper the better. Works wonders every time!
I think the thing you need to investigate is what is CAUSING this dry burning skin! Then you can treat it effectively!





Try- Sudocrem, Savlon Cream,
try noxzema cream f you havent already and after u rinse it use caldryl lotion
Get pure lanolin. it is completely natural, cheap, and works very fast. I have had to deal with this myself.
Bepanthol
Use Nipple cream sounds wearied bit it works trust me (:
