Why is my skin so dry?

Posted , 3 users are following.

About a few day ago my skin around my cheeks, forehead, and nose feel really rough and dry. My skin is usually pretty soft. I do not use anything on my skin besides lotion. What could be the sudden cause of this? Also my skin also seems to be like flaky and will fall off after I touch it especially after taking a shower. I have tried putting lotion on it to see if it helps but it it like putting lotion on sand paper! I am worried!

    This could be dehydration or adrenal fatigue. When my adrenals crashed this was the first major symptom and unfortunately I didn't realise what it was. Are you over-exercising or on a vegan diet? The body needs good fat (salmon, coconut oil, meat and animal products). Maybe research adrenal fatigue just to check if you identify with any of the other symptoms.
