What’s the best looksmax for dry skin?

[Jigen]

I drink only water and 3-4 bottles a day. But my skin is still really dry. Like it doesn’t retain moisture for some reason. Hands and legs are also dry. What can I do or take to fix this? Serious responses please.

lotion

lotion

lotion doesn’t go on the face though. It clogs pores.

facial moisturizer if I need to be more exact

Water

Any particular moisturizer you recommend?

 

[HerpDerpson]

Water dehydrates you. Drinking a lot of it is one of the reasons you're so dry.
You need to drink some "living" liquid. Unpasteurised milk, blood, raw eggs, fruit. Eating any raw fat too.
Tldr drink raw milk and self squeezed juice.

Milk and eggs (dairy) gives you puss filled acne. And jfl at drinking blood. I’ll end up in the ER with some antibiotic resistant E-coli infection. I should eat more fruits though.

Raw milk kefir if you can't tolerate dairy. (the lactose has been turned into lactic acid). Water hydration is a meme

I have dry skin and eating lost of saturated fat helps.

A standard cerave face moisturizer is a good temporary fix.

Probably a gut issue - fix diet. I found out that bread aggravates my skin quite a bit.

Who do you mean "you"? Millions of people drink it. It's possible to be intolerant to dairy, but most people have only ever drank pasteurised, which isn't even real dairy.
Eggs have nothing to do with that.

E-coli infection

Made up, they came up with that to make people unhealthy by preventing them from consuming raw products. But you can get food poisoning if it's toxic from antibiotics, poorly fed animals, or whatever.
You're not gonna buy fresh blood anyway, so it's milk (or kefir like the other guy said) or juice. And if it's pasteurised, it's not gonna work.

I did some research and apparently water is a double edged sword. Drinking it does help hydrate the skin. But constantly washing your face, especially with hot water (which is what I do) washes away the oil layer of the skin and makes it dry.

So it looks like I need to moisturize more often and stop washing my face with hot water so much. My diet also could see some improvement too.

I wouldn’t say I’m intolerant to dairy products. But I do know that it definitely bloats my face and has a negative impact on my appearance if I eat too much of it. This is coming from a guy who sometimes drinks 800 calories worth of milk/egg nog after a workout. The next day my jawline would be less visible. So I tend to avoid dairy if I can.

I wouldn’t say it’s made up. Maybe the food system in your country is better and more sustainable. But here in the US. The factory farm crap here is constantly being recalled due to bacterial outbreaks. And I have gotten sick from eating too much raw cookie dough which contains flour and raw eggs (hasn’t stopped me from eating it though lol)

I see. Well, buy a juicer and juice fruit, usually people do citrus, but if you don't like too much sugar, you can also juice tomatoes and cucumbers. Of course, you can simply easy them too.

Oh yes, hot water is a big no no.

Use cold water for your face and lukewarm for the rest of the body.

Cold showers are a great option as well if you could bear them.

I have a 3 min rule in showers - just get in and out in 3 minutes and you will see immediate improvement.

I take a nice hot 30 min shower once a week and always use a body moisturizer after that.

Just wash with cold water and moisturizer on damp skin morning and before sleep. So simple yet so effective.

But learn more about diet and fix that - this is prob 90% of the problem.

Low stress life is essential as well.

My skin hadn’t totally “healed” yet. But Moisturizer and washing my face with Luke warm/cold water instead of hot has helped. Carmax lip balm works well with keeping lips from getting dry also.

lip balm is such a cope. Just temporary fix but used constantly by normies. Skin is a reflection of internal issues so fix that and ur lips wont be dry.

Lip balm/chap stick keeps the lips moisturized.

yeah, guess what. Lips shouldnt be dry to begin with. Read again

Are you low IQ or something? It’s common for cold temperatures to dry out the lips if not properly moisturized. Even if you drink a lot of water.

 

[robbin2k00]

Both of you are right ig, i probably have some kind of an internal problem, though i can't figure out what.. Also i live in a pretty hot and humid climate so it's not really the cold weather either.

 

[robbin2k00]

@Exterminator Thought i'd update you on this, many of my problems were caused by gut health issues, im currently fasting to fix that and only taking water and curd ( idk what you call it in your place ) and my lips seems to be way better. currently been 2 days for fasting and i also have less nausea which feels really good. maybe you should consider gut health issues. hopefully this fully helps me and you
