Dry skin

[SouthernGirl76 74]

I am a year and 1 month out and I have horrible dry skin. Even after exfoliating it’s dry and flaky. Anyone have any suggestions? I’m also motioning twice a day. This is horrible.

Can you visit a dermatologist? Dry skin can have internal causes but also external factors occur (moisture barrier damage) Are you hydrated enough? This will affect your skin tremendously

Aside from that about once every two weeks i use olive oil in shower (like Neutrogena shower oil) but its food grade and absorbs well into my skin.

I have seen other been mention Bio oil, Egyptian magic, and I know for a fact raw honey (manuka specifically) has healing properties for the skin

My skin is dry AF!!! I had to completely change my skin products. It improves slightly when I’m vigilant about Water and Vitamins. But seriously, I’ve never used so much hand cream on my life!

I have always had very dry skin and hair. I do Dr Axe collagen Protein which has helped some. The only body lotion I have found that quenches my skins thirst is Aveeno skin relief moisture repair cream. It works for me really well.

Good to hear, I have a bottle here all ready for use.

I started using Bio Oil and my skin has 100% changed for the better. All dryness is gone. I’ve also seen a firming affect on my neck and under-chin. It’s cheap too! And goes a long way.

When you lose significant weight, you are left with excess skin. Nowhere is this visible more than on your face. I developed very fine wrinkles; almost paper thin crinkles, all over my face. I looked like I was a hundred years old. I mean I am old but not that old. I think women have the upper hand on this problem. My wife told me to use Bio-Oil available in the drug stores. it solved the problem. I put a little on once in the morning and it is good all day.

Anyone knows if its firming on the entire body?

It doesn't show up on my computer. It might be because I have created way too many posts.

I have never had dry skin in my life prior to surgery. I honestly very rarely had a need to moisturize at all. But now my skin is dry, dry, dry. Even areas that have never been even a tiny bit dry before, like my stomach and upper thighs.

I've been using coconut oil, just as I already had it in the house. I like how it absorbs well into my skin.
