Dry skin

[Deleted member 44214]

Does anyone know why my skin why my skin is all of a sudden getting dry around the lip area. My skin care is currently is a 4% benzoyl cleanser, topical cream, moisterizer, and sun screen in the morning and at night a gental cleanser, tretonoin, and moisterizer. Any advice would be much appreciated

the cleanser could be too strong for that area thats my guess

hmm maybe so, but I've been using this cleanser for about 2 months and this is the first time it is happening, it might be because it's getting colder and is so I would have no idea on what to do

try not using as many products, sometimes less is more

its the tretinoin and double exfoliation due to you using 2 cleansers. Benozyl peroxide is also pretty strong in itself. Tret dries lip skin very badly if you apply near mouth area. I suggest stopping the use of BP cleanser and using tret less frequently, also moisturize lip area more and seal with occlusant (vaseline/lip balm - tinted would work best)

yeah cold weather makes your skin dry. I would personally just use a cleanser at night and chill a bit on the benzoyl. Maybe use it every other day
