I have combination skin of the dry and sensitive variety, and it’s been extra-flaky of late. I’ve tried everything from exfoliating regularly to extra-rich moisturizers, which tend to make me break out. What can I do to hydrate my skin without irritating it?
The problem could be with the “extra-rich moisturizers” that you mention. They could be clogging the pores and causing the breakouts. Look for a moisturizer that hydrates while reducing skin sensitivity and keeping the skin active. Moisturizers with some retinol in them—like ZO Skin Health Daily Renewal Crème—will stimulate your skin cells and expedite skin renewal and regeneration.

This is exactly how I learned to shop for skin care products. There is no way to effectively treat your skin without knowing your skin type. I usually purchase my organic skin care products at http://www.yourbeautifulskinonline.com
