    Dry skin
    I have very dry skin, especially on my nose and chin. I moisturize most days, using nivea skin care. Does anyone have any good advice to control this?

    Thank you

    Have you tried using olive oil at night?
    Apply olive oil to damp skin after you have washed your face. Massage it in till its absorbed.

    I also get very dry skin in the winter. I find using a moisturizer that contains urea is the best for keeping your skin healthy.

    Drinking water regularly can help with dry skin. After taking a shower while your skin is still damp, apply baby oil on your body. Another thing that worked for me was using a pumice stone very lightly on my skin in the shower. Don't rub too hard though, and make sure the stone isn't sharp! You could also try using a hand towel if you don't like the stone idea. I usually use a cream cleanser rather than a soapy on my face because it doesn't make it dry. You should also apply lotion every day.
