<s>[INST] Hello Doctor, I have dry and scaly skin on my face. Especially cheeks. After I wash my face with mild soap or face wash I feel burning or streched feeling all over my face. I am not able to use any sun screen because of this as I feel irritation on skin after I apply sunscreen. Please help me get rid of this dry skin. I use dove soap and follow up with venusia cream after that. [/INST] Hello,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand from your query that you are having extremely dry skin on your face.I would suggest that you use a soap free cleanser like Cetaphil cleanser for sensitive skin to wash your face. Limit face washing to 2-3 times a day as excessive washing will strip away the oils.Use a cream containing urea and lactic acid along with other moisturizing factors like shea butter, glycerol,etc for better relief from dry skin. Apply the moisturizer immediately after washing on damp skin so that the water soaks well into the skin.Do not scrub/ rub your skin.Avoid cosmetics with fragrances and colour.Drink plenty of water.Hope this helps you.Take care. </s>
