Dry, flaking hands are a common problem amongst many individuals. Luckily there are moisturizers that can help. I would recommend the Special Hand Cream with Vitamin E to help keep your skin well moisturized daily. It’s absolutely amazing it makes dry hands feel soft and hydrated.

In the winter I have patches of dry skin on my forehead above each eyebrow. It flakes and peels like a sunburn. It doesn’t itch, it’s just mainly annoying. Do you have a product that might help?...Read Response

If you have dry patches on your forehead and above each eyebrow, I would recommend using a little of the Control Cream. Our famous anti-redness cream is an effective treatment for dry, flaky and irritated skin types. This product will help to alleviate any patches of dryness on your skin.

So many of the products say avoid the eye area. Can you tell me which products are safe around the eyes? My upper eyelids are one of my biggest problems. They become puffy and scaly so I am tempted to put a moisturizer on them....Read Response

All of the eye creams are safe to use around the eye area along with select items as the Cellufirm Drops which helps to diminish fine lines. If you have a bit of dry, flaky skin on the upper eyelid area, you may apply a very small amount of the Control Cream on it. It will help to moisturize, calm and soothe redness and flakiness. Balsam Peru is the active, soothing botanical ingredient that will make a visible difference immediately upon application.

I live in Utah where the air is always SUPER dry. Winter is coming on and it also gets very cold. Added to that, the air here in the valley from Salt Lake to Provo is always very smoggy and polluted. As a result, I always have problems with acne around my chin, forehead, and the corners of my nose. My forehead has a problem with small bumps. The corners of my nose will sometimes develop whiteheads. My chin is much like my forehead and it will also get small bumps. From the cold and the dry air, my cheeks get extremely dry and flakey. Even after using moisturizer, they are dry and flakey just a couple of hours later. I need the ultimate skin care regimen. What can I do?...Read Response

Since we are in the middle of the winter season and you live in a climate where the air is always dry it is important to use a gentle cleansing hydrating regimen to keep the skin moisturized. I would recommend using the Orange Cleansing Soap twice daily as a mild cream based cleanser. It contains orange extract to discourage dull skin build up and keeps the skin feeling soft and clean. Follow with the alcohol free, witch hazel based Seaweed Cleansing Lotion morning and night to help nourish and disinfect the skin. With the cold weather contributing to further dry, flakey skin, I would suggest using one of our protective day creams instead of a regular moisturizer. Protective day creams contain less water content and offers optimal protection from cold temperatures and harsh winds. Use the cold weather Orange Protective Cream daily on dry areas to prevent skin from becoming dehydrated. The orange extract helps to promote mild exfoliation to discourage dull skin build up. To keep skin nourished, use a weekly hydrating mask for 15-20 minutes such as the Enzyme Revitalizing Mask to keep skin soft and hydrated. Gently exfoliate your skin with the Almond & Honey Face Scrub 2-3 times a week to slough off flakey skin on the surface to prevent clogged pores and small bumps. Before bedtime, apply the Seaweed Night Cream, a non-greasy, oil-free night cream enriched with Seaweed, Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid to soften, hydrate and nourish the skin without clogging pores. This night cream will leave the skin feeling soft and silky. For the occasional surfaced whitehead pimples that you experience, the Drying Lotion will help to dry it up overnight. The most effective spot treatment for deep bumps is the sulfur based Buffering Lotion. It is a light, liquid antiseptic solution to soothe and heal cystic blemishes.

I am a repeat Mario Badescu customer, and I currently use the Enzyme Cleanser, Glycolic Cleanser twice a week, Cucumber Cleansing Lotion and AHA and Ceramide Moisturizer. I have had problem skin in the past that is now under control due to prescriptions and your products. The only problem I have left is that I use Retin A 5 times a week and now that the weather is colder, sensitive areas of my skin sill dry out very easily. I will sometimes wake up w/very flaky skin, and no matter how much moisturizer I use, it remains flaky for a day or two. Can you recommend a moisturizer that I can either wear at night w/my prescription product, or a day time moisturizer that might help the flakiness without being problematic for my oily T-zone?...Read Response

Based on the information that you have provided regarding your skin type, I would recommend that you use the Seaweed Night Cream as on oil-free moisturizer before bedtime. Then as a daytime choice you may consider the Aloe Moisturizer (SPF-15). It is an oil-free moisturizer that helps to soothe sensitive, dry skin without clogging pores. I would also suggest the Herbal Hydrating Serum. It is an oil-free hydrating gel that can be applied on top of your moisturizer for an extra hydrating boost of moisture. This change should help reduce the dry, flakiness you are experiencing. If however, you still feel dry after adding these products, I would recommend changing your toner from the Cucumber Cleansing Lotion to the Seaweed Cleansing Lotion for the winter season. It is an alcohol free, witch hazel based toner that will remove oil and impurities without drying the skin.

I was wondering if you can help me with picking out any products for my eczema condition. My eczema developed after I turned 30 and it is around my elbows. It is extremely dry and flaky. When I am sleeping, I do not realize that I am scratching it so hard that often times I find them bleeding the next morning. I started to use a sugar scrub in the shower and stopped putting lotion and hydrocortizone on it after the shower. I do notice that it is better but now it is white and flaky looking. Are there any products that I can use whether in the shower, after shower and/or at moments when it is irritating? A scrub, lotion, type of ointment? Your help will be greatly appreciated....Read Response

Eczema is a skin condition involving superficial inflammation of the skin primarily affecting the epidermis that causes dryness, itching and red rashes which are often coupled with a scaly surface. The severity of the condition may vary for each individual. Eczema is a skin condition that must be diagnosed by a dermatologist. If you are experiencing extremely dry, flaky skin, using emollients will protect the skin from water loss which helps to prevent dryness. By providing a barrier, the skin is less dry, itchy and flaky. I would recommend the following soothing products to help offer intense moisture and calming relief. Start by using the Seaweed Bubble Bath And Shower Gel in the shower to cleanse and soften skin. This seaweed based gel contains sesame oil to nourish and moisturize the skin. After showering, apply the Super Rich Olive Body Lotion to seal in moisture, leaving skin soft and silky. Every morning, apply the Control Cream on any dry, rough, flaky areas such as your elbows. This Salicylic Acid based formulation may be used before bedtime as an intense treatment to alleviate discomfort.

For the most part my skin is pretty good. I’m 34 and fair skinned, with my skin occasionally prone to small whiteheads in the nose/chin area, but otherwise I’m fairly dry. My biggest concern is clogged pores on my nose. I’ve started using your Seaweed Soap Cleanser followed by the Honey Moisturizer and I am very happy with the results. Can you suggest anything for the clogged pores?...Read Response

Since your biggest concern is clogged pores on your nose along with some small whiteheads, use the kaolin based Flower & Tonic Mask twice a week on your t-zone to discourage blackheads. It will help to absorb oil and impurities from pores as it calms and soothes sensitive skin types. On alternating days, use the mild Almond & Honey Face Scrub to exfoliate surface dullness and prevent any congestion. It is made with finely ground almond and cornmeal combined with honey to buff away flaky skin without irritating.
