    I still have this happening I know how you feel! I try to remember to put moisturiser on after my bath EVERY night and then again in the morning as well. I look in the mirror and my skin looks soooooo dry and gross that it looks tired if that makes sense. I have had blotches particularly on my forehead. I don't have any advice but I do know how it feels.

    I have been getting dry skin on my face too, its not very noticable to look at but feels horrible. I find it is worse after showering so i mosturise after every shower/bath and try to put it on every morning. Not that its really making much difference

    It could be hormonal...Im not really sure.

    I dont have any advice either, but was told to just ask my GP about it next time im there.

    Not much help sorry.
