I have seborrhoeic dermatitis which causes blotchiness and causes skin to peel away on my face. Even when the blotchiness is gone my skin feels and look dry around my cheeks, and eyes. The only thing I use is some vaseline on my cheeks after coming out the shower in the evenings and in the morning. I find that normal face creams can cause my skin to feel like it is burning when the cream is applied. Is Aloe Vera from a plant (rather than a shop) an option? I would like to use something natural instead of stuff with alcohol in it. I have two issues. The deramititis and the need for a better moisturiser even when the skin is not blotchy..
Answer
I don't know about dermatitis, but aloe vera works to sooth irritated skin. I have an aloe vera plant and when I get dry spots on my face or when the area around my eyes is sore from makeup removal I just cut off a little chunk and rub the juice on the area. do this at night, though, because when it dries it sometimes leaves a little film. but it works for soothing!
