Quick Drying Acne Treatment

Emergency treatment/remedy for very dry, chapped skin please?


I used Panoxyl (benzoyl peroxide) 10% gel on my face to help clear up a few pimples I have on my chin and around my mouth area. (I would say it is minor acne) Oh Boy..... do I regret it! I used it for three days and I am not going to use it again. My skin feels soooo dry, chapped, tender, leathery and tight.... ouch! It's so flaky and terrible looking. There is no way it can be camoflauged. I am going out later and just want to get rid of all the dry flaky skin and get my skin back to good condition. I exfoliated my face gently last night and applied lots of vaseline but it didn't make much of an improvement. Please does anybody have any good, quick, guaranteed to work remedies or treatments to recommend to me. Please help! Ps. I do know about panoxyl and it's strength and side effects so no lectures please. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Mix vitamin E oil and sugar to make a gentle deep cleaning scrub. This should exfoliate the dry flakes without being harsh and still be gentle on the fresh skin.

I usually use about 1/4 cup of sugar to 1 ounce Vitamin E oil. I started using this as a hand scrub when I got extreme dry hands and deep cracks when even Nutrogena and other "sensitive" products hurt. I had frostbite and got an infection, so the skin on my hands can be extra sensitive.

DONT'T substitute salt for the sugar.

Good luck!

I can only recommend Vitamin E oil not only for its beauty
but also for its healing properties.
Your skin will absorb it on application.
Apply it as often as you like not only on your face but all over.
Your skin will appreciate it.
I get mine from Holland & Barrett (UK).
