THIS INFO WILL CURE AND HELP PREVENT RED, DRY, FLAKEY SKIN;
Avoid harsh soaps (such as Ivory, Dial, and Irish Spring); instead use fragrance-free soaps with a moisturizer (such as Dove).
Moisturize the skin after your daily treatment with an ointment such as A%26amp;D, Eucerin, Aquaphor, or Radiacare. Put a lot on at night and wear an old T-shirt so it doesn't get on your bed clothes.
For mild itching and burning, apply an aloe vera preparation. Or try 1% hydrocortisone cream (available without a prescription at any drugstore). Spread the cream thinly over the affected area three times a day.
If areas become especially red, itchy, sore, and start to burn, and low鈥損otency cream no longer relieves your symptoms, ask your doctor for a stronger steroid cream that is available by prescription. Try 2.5% hydrocortisone cream first. If necessary, you can go up to Psorcon 0.05% cream or ointment.

cocca butter
Olay daily mosturizer for sensitive skin
Avoid all creams with oil in them. They trap in heat. If you do use a cream, I'd use a very mild one like Aveeno's daily lotion with oatmeal. This will moisturize your skin, but will not reduce your redness.
The question you have to ask yourself is how to get rid of the redness.
Avoid the sun(heat of the sun) and all forms of heat period. Do not drink or eat anything that will make your skin flush. Keep your skin/face cool by spraying it with a mist of water in the summer. Don't wear suntan lotion. The oil in the lotion is really bad for making your skin red and feeling hotter.
Moisturize your skin(face) by taking a bath in lukewarm (not hot) water a couple times a week. Water is the key to solving dry skin, not lotions.
Read this link about heat and red(erythema) skin Its a bit extreme, but you get the idea.

that doesn't sound nice!
if it's sun burn, maybe you should try Aloe Vera
even the real stuff is good, if not better than the moisturizer
good luck
Any type of moisurising cream
Cetaphil from the drugstore. It is gentle and recommended by alot of dermatologists. They have cleanser too.
( just an idea ) Try a dandruff control, find and try a product called '; HASK '; made by ; Hask Toiletries, Dist., Div. Alleghany, Pharmacal Corp., Great Neck, N.Y. 11021. I use it for dandruff control. I buy it where I get my hair cut.
for now use one with high moisture content and no perfumes, I would go see a dermatologist though it could be exema
Hydrocortesone cream. If it persists see your doctor and he'll give you something stronger. For plain old dry skin I reccommend lubriderm.
Nivea - they have good moisturisers for sensitive skin.
