have any cheap or at home remedies for dry
skin on your face? I feel like my face is
going to peel right off! I have a cream
that I used to always use but it doesn't
seem to be doing the trick anymore.

Ahhh I have this great recipe for a
homemade cream, it's bananas and honey.
Let me find it for you 
-edit-
Ingredients:
* 2 medium bananas
* *honey optional
Directions:
Mash bananas with a fork...don't over mash
or it will be too runny. Add honey if
desired. Smooth over skin, let sit for 10
minutes, rinse off with cool water.
I put it on my elbows though, not my face
This one's good too:
1/2 oz. Cocoa butter (melted)
1 oz. Orange juice (fresh is better)
2 capsules vitamin E (800 IU's)
1 oz. Warm olive oil
2 drops of Orange flower oil.
Mix all ingredients until smooth. This can
be stored in a jar or bottle. Just apply
to clean skin for a different, zesty
moisturizer that won't clog your pores.
This is a great all-natural moisturizer.
*This lotion can be stored for up to a
week.

its honestly not that bad at all.. its
only a little more abrasive than those
face cleaners that have exfoliants in
them, and i don't have to worry about it
clogging my pores like those cleansers do.

I use Neutragena oil-free wash. If my skin
dries out, I use a tiny bit of regular
lotion - as little as I can get away with.

I don't do anything.... when I'm on my
period (or, now, when it's around the time
for when I would have been on my period)
my face gets oily and I wash once or twice
with Aveeno face pads... but that's it.

Do not use a pumice stone on your face!
Yikes.
There are plenty of exfoliant face
products out there that don't cost a
bundle.
You also don't have to spend a lot of
money on lotions, etc. But do use lotion
specifically for the face, like ponds or
Oil of Olay or something. Body lotion is
too heavy for the face and it will cause
you to break out.
STOP USING SOAP on your face. Use face
specific gentle cleansers. Winter can be
really harsh on skin.
-- Another tip: Always put lotion on your
feet before you put your socks and shoes
on. Your feet will be as soft as butta. I
also nice smelling lotion on at bedtime.

cleansers. they all clog my pores and make
my face look horrible.. I was using a
loofa, but it never worked all the way..
still left dry skin on my forehead and
chin.. so i went for the next thing i
could think of lol.. and my skin is like
porcelain now, and feels fantastic.
